Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun

@westy7278 @cody__cubs If they're gonna trade him for someone legit, I'd be listening intently for sure. But if they shop him for another Cabrera-type pitcher, then you know we'll be stuck in this same position for as many years as Jed manages to cling to his job

@bleacherbum099 @KyrenDronesfc @Hiseah100 @ChiefCub I thought he was overhated, but I'm ready to get off the rollercoaster now. He's always been streaky, but didn't hit his usual benchmarks this year. Worst year since at least '21 by many numbers. GG defense, but at arguably the least important position. Also forgot how to hit LHP

@packrfan4 @MarkTauscher65 @stoolpresidente Dead ball or ground rule double are the only 2 sensible options

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@TheChazDavis @MarkTauscher65 @stoolpresidente It's a ground rule double for whatever team was batting--the same rule they should have for these situations, tbh.

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@NavyVeteran23 @MarkTauscher65 @stoolpresidente No, you're just dumb. A ball that hits off the outfield wall has no chance to be a home run. Conceivably, a ball that hits the stadium roof while over the field of play -does- have a chance to leave the park. Also, it's a hazard that not every field has. TRBL comp @MarkTauscher65

@BlackCoffeeSobr @MarkTauscher65 @30pjcoons30 @stoolpresidente Are you not smart enough to look up that a ball that gets hit into the ivy and lost from eyesight is a ground rule double as long as the outfielder signals for it by raising their hands? I'd be all for the same rules applying to a ball hitting the roof at any stadium that has one

[Sam Neher @SamNeher24]

I’m all for teams doing whatever they fan to create a home field advantage, but the Brewers putting an ad behind home plate promoting a website telling fans to boo the Padres’ starting pitcher is a little classless imo

@danwetter @CoachMason33 @thedirsch @Brett_A_Taylor Steele wasn't even drafted by Jed. He's a Theo guy. I think he was picked in the same draft as Cease, iirc

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@jacobzanolla Well, Jed is the one who can't build/oversee a competent pitcher development system and relies on other teams' scrap heaps to cobble together a bullpen on a yearly basis.

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@SpringerIsElite @JeffPassan Genuinely, what hype? I couldn't get excited about the playoffs because I knew our ceiling was -maybe- winning the wildcard. We never had the pitching to go any further than that. I think most other Cubs fans were in the same boat, too

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@PiratesStrong @JeffPassan A Pirates fan talking shit? You look about as stupid as your 98 win lineup did against Jake the Snake 😂😂😂

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@FrankTu25767988 @ESPNRittenberg He didn't choke any more than anyone else did

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@Burn4G4 @ButlersPicks @JesseRogersESPN Usually, but this is his worst year since at least '21. Lowest full season BA and OPS of his career, 2nd lowest OBP and SLG. And he basically forgot how to hit LHP. I've defended him a lot, but I grow weary of the rollercoaster, and there's signs of decline. It's time to let go

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@puttinonfoil @LordThadsChair @wyattB2024 So you would've made roster management decisions based on a borderline meaningless 60 game season that was wildly thrown off by covid? That's really stupid, but you do you, I guess.

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@AndreDawesome @TubeCoob @SamOlbur Hmm... it's an interesting strategy. Though if we're optimizing lefty vs. lefty matchups, I don't think Peterson should be left on the sideline to maybe not even get a start, especially looking at his game logs. I'd start Peterson game 2, keep Gausman for a possible rubber match.

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@scotthatch22 This bullpen gives me early to mid 2010's Detroit Tigers vibes. Unfortunately, we don't have a rotation with 2 future HoF guys and another 2-3 Cy Young winners to balance it out and mitigate the damage...

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@AndreDawesome @TubeCoob @SamOlbur I can't see Craig doing that. That would mean he'd have to hand the ball to Assad to start a playoff game, and although he's more than earned it, there's no way Craig would let that happen

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@dartpunk79 @BuschMVP I know the same shitty fanbase that had people talking shit on a post about our franchise legend passing away from MF cancer last year isn't talking about karma 😂

Look, what the OP said is out of line for sure. But there's plenty of Brewers fans that would and have said similar

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@TheAngryBowel @CubsZone The 2016 team won the World Series. What did the last 4 Brewers teams do? Not a damn thing.

I know "where WS ring?" is overdone, but that's all I have the energy for when you pricks come to start shit on a post that has nothing to do with the Brewers or even this year's Cubs 🙄

[Fire Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell into the sun @Nameless_BAR]

@CubbyPedro @dacoach1122 @chifanpatt2 Probably at least partially? This issue is big enough that everyone shares blame, from Jed and Carter (and even Theo when he was here) to Hottovy to scouting & development personnel (including the so-called "pitching lab") to the training and medical staff (especially this year)
