@Uncatfishable Just help me understand - why don’t they just end with a shootout to determine a winner? If they do it to determine a winner of a playoff game, why wouldn’t they do it for these games?
@Corpo75@JesseRogersESPN Spending is a problem when you aren’t spending on any top players.
How does a team with that payroll and that market not have an ace or a true middle of the lineup bat?
@dacoach1122@JesseRogersESPN They won’t commit to a superstar because it takes big $ and a long deal.
How else do you explain a top 3 market not having a top 20 player in the sport?
How do you figure the starting staff is aging? The opening day starting 5 wasn’t that old - injuries have caused them to have to shift.. but it was supposed to be
Shota 32
Horton 24
Cabrera 28
Boyd 35
Taillon 34
And Steele was supposed to be back by now but he’s hurt.
The problem has been health, not age.
This is Year 3 of 5 of the deal, so we’re basically halfway through Counsell’s deal.
At this point, just cut ties with him. A new manager will cost next to nothing anyway and it’ll likely light a fire under the team. Riding out a mistake bc you’re paying that mistake a lot of $ is a reason why Hoyer should be the next one out the door.
The problem is Hoyer firing Counsell is admitting a huge mistake, and that’ll likely cost him his job too and ironically he just signed an ill-advised extension too.
Dustin Kelly will get fired this weekend.
The Cubs have to fire their hitting coach Dustin Kelly. The second half last year and now whatever is going on with this offense. I’m not even saying it’s his fault, but get some new eyes, a new voice and just shake things up.
@CubsWorld80 Happ has a 128 OPS+ right now, so he’s doing 28% better than the average player. He’s streaky. Always has been. At the end of the season, the numbers are always there.
The same people that said how awesome it was to have Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl Halftime Show are going to complain about BTS for the World Cup Halftime Show.
@MarkKatz115401@notgaetti Bauer was suspended for his alleged misconduct off the field
Bauer was blackballed for the way he carries himself and how arrogant he is.
He probably would’ve been given another shot if he wasn’t so abrasive.
