Cubs manager Maddon blames AC/DC for 2B Castro's error Monday
Just days after taking a stand against the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon is taking aim at AC/DC.
Maddon believes the poor infield conditions at Wrigley Field can be attributed to the rock concert that took place there Sept. 15.
"Since the AC/DC concert, we've had a little bit of trouble," Maddon told the Chicago Tribune after Monday's win, which included an error by Cubs second baseman Starlin Castro. "I don't know if they were out there taking groundballs before the game, or if they had 9-inch heels or spikes."
Added Maddon: "They totally messed up the infield, and it has nothing to do with the groundskeepers. I've seen a bad hop at third, and a bad hop at second. I didn't see one bad hop all year. We just got to get it ironed out because I think Starlin has done a nice job at second base. I don't want anyone blaming him on that error. It was a weird hop."
The Cubs beat the Brewers 9-5 on Monday despite three errors. Castro's came in the top of the second, but Milwaukee scored no runs in the inning.
