CINCINNATI -- Its been about managing expectations this season for the Chicago
Cubs.

stumbled a bit, losing six of 11.But in a run of fortune the ever-optimistic
Maddon can appreciate, the rest of the crowd of National League Central
contenders is sliding at precisely the same time.When you stub your toe, its
good that everybody else is stubbing their toe at the same time, Maddon said.
Its a long year, man.The Cubs (50-26) conclude a three-game series in Cincinnati
on Wednesday afternoon. They then will travel to New York to face the Mets, who
emphatically ended their dreams of a World Series appearance in last years
NLCS.Maddon has kept his club on even-footing for much of this season. The key
for any manager, he says, is maintaining a consistent approach himself.Anytime a
group sees their leader walk in the same regardless of the circumstances, it
lends itself to stability, he says.Following Tuesday nights eventful 7-2,
15-inning win over the Reds, the Cubs lead the second-place St. Louis Cardinals
by 10 games in the Central.Kyle Hendricks takes the mound for the Cubs in
Wednesdays series finale.Hes coming off a most unusual outing on Friday at Miami
when he allowed just one hit through five innings, but that hit was a grand
slam.According to Elias, Hendricks was the only pitcher since 1900 to complete
at least five innings while allowing a grand slam as his only hit.Hendricks is
1-1 with a 4.34 ERA in five career starts against the Reds.Hell be in familiar
territory on Wednesday. Hendricks made his major league debut at Great American
Ball Park in 2014.Cincinnati (29-49) will counter with rookie left-hander Cody
Reed wholl be making his third career start since debuting on June 18 at
Houston. Reed who was acquired last July from the Kansas City Royals in the
Johnny Cueto trade, is among the key elements of the Reds rebuilding
project.Reed will be making his second start in front of the home crowd on
Wednesday. He admitted to being a little nervous first time around on June 24.I
threw a lot of pitches and I wasnt getting ahead in the count, said Reed, who
also balked in a run. Maybe it was nerves. Usually, my slider works off my
fastball, but I didnt have that good command. It was just an off night.The Cubs
have had a few of those lately. But, with their fourth straight series win over
Cincinnati assured, theyre looking to build some momentum after losing six of
seven coming in.Thats why you cant get too frustrated when things dont go your
way, Maddon said. For anyone to expect things to always go your way, is totally
unrealistic. We talked in spring training about getting off to a good start so
that when you do have a hard time, you have something to absorb that moment. Its
always more difficult to catch somebody. So, Im pleased with where were at.
