Forget Moneyball: Surging Rays Use Maddonball To Put Heat On Imploding Red Sox

这篇文章描述了光芒教头Joe Maddon如何带领光芒在最后一个月冲击外卡
靠的就是Maddonball的管理哲学
撷取里面一段文章：
Let's go back a month. The Rays manager makes a decision. Joe Maddon tells
his team to stop coming to the ballpark so early. Stop taking extra batting
practice. That cherished notion of being the first to the stadium every day?
Rubbish. Take your girlfriend to a movie instead.
回到一个月前，Joe Maddon决定告诉球员，不必那么早到球场，不必做多余的打击练习
还抱有每天第一个到球场的念头？别闹了！带女朋友去看场电影吧！
Crazy to an outsider, sure. But that's Maddonball, where the leader tries to
make the game as comfortable as possible for his players. That means theme
road trips – Dress like a hockey player! Dress like a grunge band! Dress in
all white! That means no dress code at all. That means no rules at all.
当然，外人听起来很荒谬，不过，这就是Maddonball！这位教头希望能让球赛尽其所能让
手下的球员感到舒适。不管你要穿的像打曲棍球的、玩Band的、全白的都没关系，随便你
怎么穿，也就是完全没有规定！
"He really doesn't have any rules for us," says team ace David Price. "He
treats us as grown men."
Price表示：他真的没给我们任何限制，他把我们当成年人看待。
"Rules can't take the place of character," reads one sign in the Rays'
clubhouse.
"Discipline yourself so no one else has to," reads a second.
"Integrity has no need of rules," reads a third.
You get the idea.

不管你赞不赞同这个作法，不过Maddon也真的成功把光芒带进季后赛，现在就看Maddon
可以带领光芒走到哪里了！
