You're the smart one

Are we at a place in time where we can start casting some shade on Counsell?  The Brewers have been better without him; and in fairness, we seem incredibly flat and defeated with him.  

[BigSlick]

I'm actually angry they're getting the lead off guy on again

this is fake rally horsefeathers. horsefeathers you. i dont believe you. you're not gonna score. or if you do, you will score exactly 1 fewer runs than you need.

This team would be in a better place right now if they had just kept David Ross.

He had some fire, and the Cubs had some fire as well.   This team looks listless.

Nope. He is working with what we has.  But you can conclude maybe a manager just doesn't matter very much.

Counsell and Kelly need to be thrown a lot of shade

We'll know that he's desperate when they have pajama day or a magician shows up to batting practice.

Zero element of surprise either. Theyre just so predictable.

[BigSlick]

I sincerely give up. I can't. 

[Derwood]

Willi Castro has been a complete dud at the plate

[Irrelevant Dude]

Runner doesn't move from first?  That checks out.

Basically slapping at the basball

this is painful to watch.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Getting dominated by a pitcher as ****** as Mcgreevy is impressive i guess

Or it could just be the players, Brewers were good with him too and the Cubs haven't been all that great without him til this season despite the last 2 months. 

SP for the Cubs been up and down, bullpen had its moments but overall down, bench sucks, hitters look like they been on an early Vacation since June.

I do agree that he doesn't seem like the kind of manager that lights fire under his players when needed and that probably his downfall with his teams.

We needed one of those. Wish we had gotten a TOR dud to go with him.

did anyone catch the commercial for a car on the top left corner of the screen a couple innings ago during an at-bat replacing the game info graphic?

[Caesar]

Team is doing exactly what it’s done the last 3 seasons in being bad at offense. Too many streak players in one team. Happ, Suzuki and useless Dansby go dead for prolonged periods of time down the stretch every year. There are to many of them in the lineup.

I didn't, but Tom's just trying to pay the bills.
