Personal observation from last night: I imagine that it’s official that John Lackey will be retiring. When a Joe Maddon decides against calling on Lackey to enter a close game - a DECIDING game - when his pitcher comes to bat with one out in only the 4th of the bullpenning era, you know your time is over. When else would an experienced long-reliever be appropriate? And with a win the Cubs will have to pivot and face the Dodgers in just 48 hours. Instead, one inning later, Maddon called on a Brian Duensing that he had just used the day before.
