  1. I’m not really sure that rebuild was his call. Remember, the cubs suffered “biblical” financial losses that season. And since all tom cares about is money… My other argument would be he really doesn’t have the accomplishments to his name that justify such a long leash. Hes proven that (with more resources than the rest of the division) he can build a wildcard team in the new era of increased playoff spots. But I don’t think that’s what we should aspire to be. As others have said, I’m not sure the next guy would be much different. But I’d certainly like to find out at this point.
  2. Yes. He’s the temu version of Theo, except he doesn’t have the same cojones.
  3. As someone who told me I need to “chill”about this team two and a half weeks ago, I just want to say welcome to the bus of realization! We have snacks in the rear, and watch every other team (besides the cubs) on the TVs up front.
  4. Jed needs to go first. Counsell might not be the great manger he was billed as, but jed constructed this terrible team. He needs the blame.
  5. At least we sign players like Bregman because attitude means more than anything else to Jed.
  6. I think it’s just a mediocre team. Jed was able to construct it from scratch and has proven this is the best he can do. I really think we need a new mind running the front office.
  7. Oh that’s grotesque. I’ll just add this to my list of reasons to dislike him.
  8. Im a humane man, but hearing Alex cohen talk makes me want to kick a kitten through and electric fan
  9. Yeah, I meant I think someone will take the fall. Most likely Dustin Kelly. Would love for it to be Hoyer though, even though there’s a higher likelihood I’m crowned miss teen USA.
  10. I’ll be shocked if some type of move isn’t made by game time tomorrow.
  11. Good question Alex, asking if they might employ some pinch hitters in the 9th. Guy’s a genuine savant, isn’t he?
  12. I agree. I don’t think managers make as much of a difference as the casual fan assumes either. But we stupidly resigned Jed, so wondering if that will be the desperation move.
  13. Not at all. That’s me expanding on to my point. Not sure why you seem so confused and angry. It’s a baseball forum. Try to relax a little.
  14. I mean, I passively kept an eye on the team. But I had a feeling after the last couple of years they were gonna leave may slightly better than .500 I assume they’ll even out in June and make the playoffs via a wildcard. But I don’t see how they make it much further than that.
  15. Jed has literally never even won a division. Hes in a huge market and has plenty of resources. And still can’t make a team that doesn’t rely on the wild card to get into the dance. I really don’t think it’s dramatic to say he’s not the guy for the job at this point.
  16. I really don’t think this team ever wins any thing of consequence as long as Jed is here. Hes had plenty of money to spend, he just seems incapable of building a roster that’s beyond mediocrity. I’ve barely watched any games this year. There’s nothing inspiring in this organization right now. They always start off hot and then get cold enough where it’s just a wash. I feel bad for the fans that still genuinely care. I used to be you and get annoyed after every loss. Feel nothing this year. It’s pretty awesome.
  17. I think it was always a pipe dream. The fit doesn’t makes sense in that he almost certainly wants an opt out next year.
