  1. Serious question - why don't the Cubs give Adam Amin a shot? He's already killing it with Bulls and Bears play by play. And I believe he's had good reviews doing MLB playoffs in the past for Fox. I'm sure he'd jump at the opportunity to call a couple of games
  2. I love that about Counsell too. No coincidence to me that almost all our position players have remained healthy this year so far. He keeps guys fresh.
  3. Seattle might have the best closer in the game right now, dude has an ERA under 1.3. Best chance will come in the next 3 innings, assuming they can get out of this mess and keep it close
  4. Counsell arguably cost us the first game of this series when he pulled Boyd, who was cruising. Now this BS. He's a beast and could win manager of the year - but wow, some of his decisions lately have hurt
  5. Don't like seeing Rea in the game still. Hopefully he's removed when the next lefty comes up
  6. This is why I've been so adamant about the Cubs exploring Suarez or Bregman as a trade possibility. You really can't have enough offense when going against elite SP, come playoff time. Shaw is nice but a year away. Half season commitment on Suarez and might not cost too much. Most contenders don't have holes at 3rd.
  7. I just think back to after they won in '16 and had a really good '17. They didn't really commit to spending. I recall they traded for Quintana and then signed that pitcher from Colorado. But no other significant moves. Maybe I'm misremembering. But it seems that ownership gets complacent or content when they have success.
  8. This certainly won't quiet the "Cubs under perform vs good teams" crowd
  9. Real scenario the Cubs are only up 3.5 games after today. Really hope they don't wait around to make a trade or two
  10. Given the upcoming road trip we might not see him for a while, maybe once or twice at most
  11. I wonder how much money Boog gets paid to essentially be a part time employee
  12. It's a catch 22. Obviously we all want the Cubs to win the World Series this year, but if they do, I don't see a scenario where they extend Tucker. They'll go back to the fanbase and say "see! we know what we're doing! stop calling us cheap!" and they'll just stick Caissie in RF next year. Hope I'm wrong.
  13. Wrigley has played like an extreme pitcher's park all year. When that normalizes a bit, this is probably the best offense in baseball.
  14. And Horton getting an earned run out of that is a joke... should be 2 errors
