In his team’s four-game series against the Nationals last week, Maddon’s somewhat radical strategy was to refuse to allow superstar Bryce Harper to beat his team. In the four games against the Cubs, Harper visited the plate 19 times. He recorded only four official at-bats — one single, one groundout to second and two strikeouts.
