Literally everyone pre season was like “hey the Cubs could win 90 if they get lucky and like 4 different players outperform expectations”, and they will likely hit 90 wins and have clinched a playoff berth already despite losing their #1 starter in April, the superstar trade acquisition being either useless or injured for 3-4 months, the bullpen being a complete disaster for the first month, and the #2 starter turning into a home run derby pitcher after the trade deadline. The projected ceiling for success has already been achieved, despite all of that bad happening. I think Counsell has been fine lol.
