this play shows a serious weakness in the coaching/managing staff of the Cubs. this play got them all distracted and upset and (as the loss shows) defintely affected their focus and performance.

The manager should have gotten out the mound and quickly held a meeting to settle them all down. the game was not over by any strectch when this happened. This is going to happen to teams that don't have a lot of post season experience as a unit. They are all nervous as hell being there, couple that with the fact that they have not made a WS appearance since the beginning of time.
