It was the 6th inning, they were trying to steal an inning with Rondon so they could set up 7-8-9 how they wanted


As we've seen throughout the post-season, regular season norms don't apply. If leverage is in the 6th and it was here, IMHO you play to that.

All in all that & the slide doesn't matter, for we never got another base runner after Kershaw left


Of course not...game was over by then - the slide was an absolute non-factor in the outcome, Cubs have not sniffed Jansen in the post season. But I do think better moves earlier could have made a difference, and I'd have liked to have Almora's bat and a better fielder in left for those later innings.

It wasn't really high leverage in the 6th. Game 1 of 7x Tie game, Kershaw out the game. Nothing wrong with trying to steal that inning
