The lead-up to Game 1 of the World Series brought not one surprise, but two. Yes, it was absolutely astonishing to see Kyle Schwarber back in the Cubs starting lineup. But it was no less astonishing to see Chris Coghlan in the outfield, with Jason Heyward on the bench. Thats the $184 million Jason Heyward, sitting out against a righty in an AL ballpark. Thats a decision the Cubs wouldnt have made lightly.Heyward was there, and he was occasionally shown, wearing layers and a knit cap. He didnt get a chance to do much. He didnt get a chance to do much in Game 2 either, as Jorge Soler started in right field. Heyward did replace Soler on the basepaths in the fifth inning and get two at-bats, so maybe hell draw back in for Game 3.But a message has already been sent, and its a simple one: The Cubs dont trust Jason Heyward. Its easy to argue whether Coghlan was the right play, because he also?had a letdown season, and Soler didnt exactly light up the North Side either. But the point is, something led Joe Maddon to the reserves instead of to the regular. And it stands to reason the Cubs think through all the decisions they make when the stakes are so high. Heyward is 27, and hes in trouble. Devonte Graham Jersey . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. Anthony Mason Jersey .
