  1. That extended "test drive" with Soroka was a perfect example of why CC should be held accountable...that was unacceptable. 3 in San Diego is closer to reality because of it.
  2. Sometimes people disagree. No, I do not like CC. I certainly didn't like him there...and don't like him now. The contract $$ was a unforced error by ownership...and I think that will eventually be a popular opinion amongst us older bleached bums. Doesn't the constant "smacking of the lips" in interviews...rake like nails on a chalkboard?
  3. Yesterday's debacle is one. Are you asking for more specific games?
  4. 5-6 or more.
  5. This is the point. Counsell has refused multiple times she this opportunity presented itself.
  6. Not with PCA speed...or even Hoerner/Shaw speed. We have it, but it is not being used effectively. IMO.
  7. With that logic....how can any organization justify the 8 Million?
  8. We should all take ONE OR TWO games!
  9. I will throw in. Run WAY more with 1st and 3rd with less than 2 outs.
  10. Our team is doesn't seem to be heading in right direct for a strong post season. My direct answer to you question would be having Moises bat in the line up daily. I would also consider starting an effective Bull pen guy before Shota. Bunt PCA more and send him as a bag theif at every opportunity. Does this help?
  11. Pickled Pigs feet?
  12. Hopefully this direct answer to your question will satisfy. Counsell is basically the highest paid MLB manager in the history of the game. ALL businesses pay salaries with an appropriate expectation of results. Any business...any where. I just think the guy and the contract is not worth the price.
  13. That's an easy one. I am a hardcore Cubs fan.
  14. I respectfully disagree....AND I have been paying very close attention for multiple decades. Ross was a confused hire and Counsell is a WAY overpriced one.
  15. Are you suggesting that 8 MILLION per, does not have an expectative return? If that is the case....why pay any manager such a ridiculous contract?
  16. Well, when his mentor/subordinate blows him out of the water....at that price tag....we should all EXPECT MORE. Some here are predicting less than 90 wins. Hindsight is always 20/20, but give me Murphy at a small fraction of the price. I am not a CC fan.
  17. It's obvious that the offense has sputtered since the ASB. That said, I don't understand how you can justify Castro getting ANY starts. Yes, Seiya has to wake up...and we should all have confidence he will. It has to be Happ, PCA, Seiya on a near daily basis. The infield is set and I think Moises' bat should be here to stay. DH him or give him a couple of starts behind the plate. We desperately need slug.
  18. Didn't see a thread specific to this question. Considering the unusual circumstance and the price tag...just wondering how y'all grade our skipper. Personally, I am in no way impressed and grading him a C+ is somewhat generous. I have found myself in "head scratching" mode far too often since the all star break. Plus, for some reason, I find him very irritating in media interviews. Very dull.
  19. I am new here, but far from new to Cubs Baseball... going on 5 decades as a hard core fan of the "loveable losers". In all that time, I can not recall a more impotent offense that what we have seen in this 2nd half. Just stating the embarrassing obvious.
  20. No...it's uniquely confounding! That's why these guys will win it all!!
  21. Still at 99% to make the post season. Gotta get healthy quick!!
