Theo gets criticized for moves/trades. Joe gets criticized for players not performing. Part of the deal. Not sure who is right or wrong. I think they work perfectly together. Hope it continues....considering it's the greatest Cubs success in our lifetime. Always remember the easiest "fix" is to fire the manager...the Cubs(and I hope Theo realizes this) better understand that Joe WILL be a sought out commodity if he is cut loose. And he will win wherever goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Well the Reds game got out of hand quickly with the Nats scoring 6 runs in the 5th. Bauer had only given up 1 run on 1 hit before the inning. If the Reds lose this game then they will be like 3-18 against the Nats in the last 4 years. The Nat showed how small ball cam work in the 3rd when they got a single, a stolen base, a sac bunt and then a san fly for a run. The Reds had 2 on and no outs but it took 3 wild pitches for them to score there only run. Winker led off the 4th with a hit but no speed or threat to steal a base he did not score.

IUFLA Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Maybe I just don't understand modern baseball... Hamels hasn't been sharp...4 runs in 2 innings...he comes up in the top of the 3rd with 1 out and Caratini at 1st...got a nice ovation from Phillie fans...and never squares to bunt...2 swings and a called 3rd strike... What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs just look so uninspired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Getting tired of trying to rationalize or understand these Cubs. When you suck this bad on the road there's nothing much to say. I know Cole was bad last night and has been recently.....but I got bigger concerns with our offense. I want to be respectful of other teams fans but there is absolutely no way this team should be tied for first or whatever they are. That's how bad this team..especially on the road.

Seeking6 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 For the Kyle Schwarber fans. 1 home run away from 100. Would be the quickest to 100 in Cubs history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zobrist goes to AAA this weekend, and he has to be on the roster by September 1st to qualify for post season play. I keep tricking myself into believing what will spur this team... If we get closer like Kimbrel If we get more bullpen help If we get some trade deadline help When Kimbrel and Contreras get healthy If we get Zobrist back I'm hopeful...but it would not surprise me at all if the Cubs miss the playoff this year...

Really the quickest? That’s super surprising to me. I knew he’d hit homers but also thought his batting average would be a lot better than it has been. Career .229 hitter?
