Isn't a managerial problem there. I know their pitching is bad...Ohtani looks like a bust so far, and Puhols should probably consider calling it a day...The Rendon signing is paying off, but the roster composition is terrible... I know you think a lot of Joe's managerial chops, but like I said, I wonder if he isn't on the downslide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyland, McKeon, Williams with first 2 have World Series success into their late 60's/early 70's. Not sure Joe's style is set for a 60 game sprint but I love the way he manages a clubhouse for a 6 month marathon. Time will tell. I'm more worried about the Cubs batters 2-5 averaging .216 and our team leader in RBI's is David Bote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds won't play their game on Wednesday night at Miller Park, sources confirmed to ESPN. More teams are also discussing the possibility of not playing, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. Among those currently discussing: The Seattle Mariners, who have the most Black players of any team in MLB, Passan reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Looks like Gerritt Cole had a rough day losing to the Braves today 5-1. Meanwhile, the Yankees managed a whopping 2 hits for the game! Ain't gonna win too many games with an offense like that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Cubs bullpen. Gift that keeps on giving. The Tigers are at best a Triple A team. Up 3-1 go and walk the dog....down 6-3 with runners still on. Feel almost bad for Ross. He's trying the same thing Maddon did the last couple of years. Grasping at straws down there. Mix that with your stars hitting .220.......time for some conversation on trading some guys for future prospects. As a fan I'd be fine biting the bullet next year if that meant 2022 would bring a different batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like bullpen pitchers are very inconsistent from game to game and even year to year. I just think managers totally over use bullpen pitchers and they just break down easily die to much usuage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 What I don't understand about Milwaukee cancelling the game tonight yet they are playing a DH tomorrow. What was boycotting tonight and playing tomorrow going to help with change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no doubt. Especially with Molina/DeJong both getting Covid, our closer opting out of the season, and plenty of other stuff. I feel like every game there are times when I’m like who the heck is this guy? So many guys I’ve never heard of haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
