@PJ_Mooney @NSideTerritory @FoulTerritoryTV @sahadevsharma Where is the Rizzo charging the Reds from 2014? Where is Steele blasting the dugout in Milwaukee. I'm glad we have even keeled players, but they're playing a game in front of fans and the lack of reaction and emotions comes off as disinterested at best. Where is the fight?

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@CubsSkipper Where is the vaunted player leadership. Have some damn pride. You finally get good starting pitching, and the Jed scap heap bullpen coughs it up.

@SetupManKyle If there was ever a team in dire need of a Captain RedAss, its this one.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@RepOgles You are a disgrace to the office you hold. Resign and save your constituents the cost of your continued idiocy.

@PJ_Mooney @sahadevsharma @NSideTerritory @FoulTerritoryTV How long of a runway will Counsell give Ballesteros to be productive?

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@RepOgles This is disgraceful and so far below the dignity of the office you hold. I am ashamed.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@sahadevsharma @NSideTerritory Who is the Cubs player that offers the greatest upside in a new role this season? For example - Brown or Rea in the bullpen. Shaw as a super utility player.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@WesHod All game long.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@sahadevsharma @NSideTerritory @FoulTerritoryTV @PJ_Mooney The last couple offseasons Jed completes a risky or splashy move like Counsell and then Tucker. After which Jed seems to need a fainting couch for the rest of the offseason. What will this offseason’s “risky/splashy” move be?

@PaulHembo @Buster_ESPN @espnpodcasts @ESPNNewYork @880ESPNNewYork @ESPN1000 @CHSN_Cubs @CubsZone @CubbiesOnTap @LockedOnCubs @CHSN__ PCA and Busch are both lefties with 30 homers this season. Did Wrigley not affect them as well?

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@BleacherNation They want to maximize profit. Wins are secondary.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@jon_greenberg Family of four at Wrigley this summer… plus a beer or two - that shit adds up. They have the revenue. They are choosing not to use it. Ricketts wants full buy in from everyone but the business side.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@sahadevsharma They have one advantage over the Brewers every season, and they refuse to use it - payroll. That’s the story of this entire season. Obvious holes in the lineup and with the starting pitching while they dumped the Bellinger salary.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@covie_93 Gah. Thats the goddamn truth.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@sahadevsharma @NSideTerritory Dearest Sahadev, Nico and Dansby played through injury last season - now the calf strain with Tucker after the finger fiasco. Are the Cubs unique (cause it feels like they are) in struggling to settle on a strategy for injured players.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@sahadevsharma @PJ_Mooney @FoulTerritoryTV Fine, Sahdev was correct about Happ (for now), and here’s my question: what did the 2025 Cubs get out of the Bellinger trade? A one year contract for Scherzer or Verlander or David Robertson would look great right now. Was that money ever going to be spent in ‘25?

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@sahadevsharma @PJ_Mooney @FoulTerritoryTV Why is Owen Caissie with the team right now if not to give a breather to hitters, especially Seiya and Happ, (no Sahadev, don’t tell me how well Happ has looked lately). Those two players are clearly struggling and have been for a while.

[Blue Line Theology @TigerTS9]

@Brett_A_Taylor I think it was the worst way to say they couldn’t get the value they wanted for the value they were offering.

[North Side Territory @NSideTerritory]

It certainly doesn't help that the Cubs offense has struggled at a time when the Brewers are red hot.
