Getting abused by every central division team . Bad defense , baserunning , bullpen , offense . Great job. Hoyer building this dumpster fire of a roster . The 2050 payroll doesn’t have any money on the books , so everything is fine .
Don’t question the front office . They never do anything wrong and when things go bad , it’s Ricketts fault . Jed is the smartest president of baseball operations in baseball .
Why on earth was Madrigal hitting for Wisdom if he wasn’t going to bunt ? . Why would you want Madrigal swinging the bat in that spot . . What a dumbass move by Counsell especially with the wind blowing out to LF.
One other thing . If you don’t belief in spending in relievers , it would be nice if they could develop relievers that strikeout people out with low walk rates . Seems like most organizations are able to do it .
For the Cubs it’s a mistery for the most part . Brown looks legit . Most of the guys that have are like Palencia / Little in terms of having no idea where the ball is going .
Even if they did have the flexibility , they won’t do it . It’s againts Jeds beliefs to add premium talent . They will look for the next Swanson instead .
If they are going to fire coaches because of things they don’t do well , they will need to clean house . They don’t run the bases well , they don’t play defense . Really the only area that this team is good is SP .
I didn’t watch Sunday with Gray and I am going to pass on this one . Really don’t care what Peralta era is . This team is just brutal to watch .
They will hit better at some point , but if they continue to run the bases the way they are and playing bad defense , they will be selling come trade deadline . Good luck to those who will see this one .
Negative RD now , bad defense , bad BS . The soon to be 500 Cubs . Ricketts and Hoyers dream team . Ricketts stays under the tax and Jed is already dreaming about selling at the deadline .
Michael Busch has a 34.9 k rate at the moment . That’s not going to work , especially with his defense at 1B. If this continues o wonder if the Cubs will target Christian Walker next offseason .
