The quote: “A couple days ago I saw him bearing down in front of one of our video computers, looking at pitchers he might face in this tournament. I give him a lot of credit.” — Cubs manager Joe Maddon on outfielder John Andreoli, who had two hits, including a home run, for Team Italy on Thursday in the World Baseball Classic.
