Or: “Pulling Out All the Strops”
“That bullpen is so far away,
so why not use left field instead?”
These are the kinds of late-inning thoughts
that pop into Joe Maddon’s head.

Or: “Pulling Out All the Strops”
“That bullpen is so far away,

These are the kinds of late-inning thoughts
that pop into Joe Maddon’s head.
Try anything goofball or inventive genius? All depends on if it works.
Left, right, left
I left my pitchers in left
Some say I am plucky
But maybe just lucky
There weren’t any hits at that depth
One frozen rope over young Pedro Strop
and the naysayers all woulda brayed.
But the restless wheels of Madden’s mind turned
leftfield lemons into lemonade.
