- The Chicago Cubs have blown another game. No surprise. As has been the case in most of the painful losses during this down stretch, the Cubs received excellent starting pitching from Jameson Taillon, giving the Cubs their MLB leading 17th start allowing no runs.
Sticking on theme, Christopher Morel homered to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead. The Cubs handed the game to the bullpen with a 2-0 lead and by the end of it, Hector Neris had blown his third save and the Cubs had lost 5-2 to Tampa Bay.
Anthony Pasquale and Mick Gillespie talked about the failings of this roster, and who is to blame. They also talked about Pete Crow-Armstrong's electricity, Ben Brown's neck strain and the Cubs' odd choice to once again leave an injured Nico Hoerner on the active roster, this time with Luis Vazquez in Tampa Bay awaiting a call. The pair also got into some of Jed Hoyer's comments about improving internally vs externally.

Amaya jumped from AA to MLB, he is supposed to be in AAA.
I really wish they had sold last year. Here's hoping they do it this year. This team is far from competing for a title, so let's move toward that goal.
I really thought they should have been sellers last year
So did I but they bought into GM Dansby and ended missing the playoffs. If things don't turn around the same thing will happen this year
Would love to know what the best offer for Bellinger was.... Happ also
Wish me luck going to the game in Tampa tonight. Let’s go cubs !!!
W!
I also have lost hope. When Neris served it up yesterday I was numb to it. It usually ruins my day but the last few loses it’s like that’s what supposed to happen.
Cubs Baseball Channel, I love this video!
You guys are so good at what you do, but damn, how are you guys not as pissed as most people regarding these guys/organizational effort. “Lovable Losers” have never been more true… again. What a shame because they have so much talent.
Thanks for the video, I have been a cubs fan since 1996. I was so lookong forward to this cuba team. But it is so disheartening to watch right now. I understand losing close games, but this getting ridiculous. What do you truly think needs to be done, you say shake you, but what type of shake up truthfully.
Problem is every single person aiming for home run only. Gotta play the field and get some hits. Dansby has Homer power on occasion but feel he needs to go for more singles! Nico our best consistent hitter needs reflected in the lineup!
Thanks for the show guys! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️✌️💙🐻
Mick, we should start thinking about building for next year. I don't see this current cast of characters improving dramatically this season.
David Kaplans comments nailed it on last nite debacle
Cubs are like in a twighlight zone. Can't explode out of this funk. In the beginning of the season they were hitting, and great defense
Start talking about Happ and his no production. Forget these small little hot streaks and realize this guy fails more times than succeeds ! Bring up the kids.
3 things wrong offensively. 1) Too many guys watch a first pitch fastball or rolling curve with not much break go right over the plate for strike one. 2) They are too picky. They let again a fast ball or non breaking curve ball miss the outside part of the plate by 1/2 inch or one inch. It is too close to take and half the time the ump calls it a strike. The Cub hitter then always has a nasty look at the umpire. One inch off the plate is hittable. I am talking about outside pitches. Take it the other way. 3) They don't situational hit. Men in scoring position and Cubs just swing away as usual. Many times they don't get the ball to outfield or even advance the runners one base let alone scoring him. April was a success taking pitches, but it does not work for the entire season.
Leaders either lead you to the promised land or off a cliff. Right now, Dansby is leading the Cubs to the cliff.
The starting pitching has been good enough to lead the division. Bote is doing it. Play him. If Nico goes to the IL, bring up Davis or Canario. The injuries have been mind boggling. 13 of the 23 pitchers on the 40 man roster have been on the IL. It's tough to get any kind of flow going, especially with no bullpen protection in tight games.
We need a good benches clearing brawl to get this team rolling. Our hot dog 3rd baseman needs to keep throwing his hand grenades while batting 200. Eventually a pitcher with balls is going to drill him. Then lets clear the benches, get it out of our system and play some ball. Might be what it takes.
I Wonder what Swansons LOB stat is.
Dansby is looking like a swing and miss signing. I like Dansby but I never understood the signing. His bat has always been ok but not great. And Nico was a very capable SS. You also had Morel and 5 other guys that could play 2B competently. I hope Dansby turns it around.
Prob gave into the growing fan pressure that they better get 1 of the 4 SS at the time, espec after Trey Turner wanted to go to Philly so badly and Correa failing his physicals and some of the Cub podcasters and blogs BS-ing everyone that Cub might sign both Bogaerts and Dansby to play 3rd and SS, so Jed may have felt he better get Dansby after Bog got that huge contract w Padres... it's understandable how the tidal wave can push Tom and Jed, but it's a bad tidal wave from everyone... that 27mil could have helped get a much bigger bat and a younger player
Hoerner seemed to want to light a fire with him getting thrown out in the last week. No one however seemed to take the torch and run with it. There doesn’t seem to be a leader. Jed needs to be looking for that. Rizzo turned out to be that guy for the Cubs back in the day.
We need a star called LOB it would be player left on base with less than 2 out when at bar. IF A RUN is batted in with 2 outs you remove a LOB penalty from leaving a player om base in scoring position
The Coach better put some fire, and excitement in this team
he won't
I did a quick check on baseball-reference and the Cubs bullpen has blown a combination of 15 leads/saves and have been charged with, at least, 20 of this year’s losses. Many of those relievers have spent time on the IL, so, I have no idea if a lingering injury if behind the bullpen struggles.
As far as the offense is concerned, I still don’t understand why a team needs four hitting instructors…because, obviously, it’s not working? Are the Cubs trying to bring back the College of Coaches…because that didn’t work either.
It feels like as soon as they get a lead, it’s gone.
@@cubsbaseballchannel I thought they were going to blow it again last night.
Instead of making t shirts that say “try not to suck today” maybe they should make plain t shirts that say “MAYBE WERE JUST NOT THAT GOOD?”
I thought Amaya could have hustle from first on Cody’s fly ball to the corner. Along with booting the ball he cost us 2 runs. The fans have more passion than the players. We’re are the Ross haters now?
The L0B stat is to be compared to the player's RBI stat.
Craig Counsell needs to be a spark plug for Cubs the same way Ozzie Guillén was for the White Sox...
he won't
The Cubs are who are what we thought they were 😮, Jed Hoyer thinking Craig Counsell can do his magic not to be 😢
Ok now that we have consistently proven that were only slightly better than the White Sox how are we sellers of anything outside of our starters?? Seems like we're stuck until we improve via draft... Imanaga for C, SS, 1B, 2 relivers, and 2 catching prospects. I mean let's get crazy
We need a closer and a good catcher. Period. No big star is going to solve basic problems for this team. And no one’s talking about the guy who’s putting the ball in play and batting .333. I know it’s just a few games but that’s the way he’s been playing in ST and up till now.
Cubs look lost. Maybe its time to.clean house. Pitching is the only thing that looks good.
Get hid of the closer. He is horribe. The whole team looks lost.
The cubs just have to score more runs in the game because we do not have a bull pen
😲 Gonna be lost!!??🤨 Sorry to tell you this, but, that ship sailed!!🙄🤮🤔
Today, Suzuki back to the clean up hitter. Not good.
Most of these I think are pretty dumb ideas but the Diaz catcher one I like and strongly disagree with the Miller one,they should 100% try for miller,no sense in hanging onto ALL of the prospects,you just have to give some of them up to risk for good trades it’s the nature of the game
It’s easier for Jed to sit on his hand than make tuff decisions
Hoyer is a genius. He sold us fans the team was made to win, he made us think our minor leaguers are the best. If PCA is our best prospect, and he is ok, there is no future superstar. Our farm is good ‘cause they are good playing together. Finally, Hoyer sold Ricketts, that hiring Counsel and firing Ross will be a difference without spending in players. Genius!! But everything is backfiring to him because of KARMA for his treason to Ross. It wasn’t handled well. No ethic.
Hoyer a genius. 😂 That's a good one. 🤣
I guarantee we wouldn't be any worse than we are with Ross in charge.
Counsell is the genius. He didn't even need Boras to get a giant contract.
They need to get rid of the catchers and start trading the bull pin out. I feel with a good bull pin from trades then the team even with a lack of hitting, a good bull pin could help them win some games.
3 trades.
1. Break the bank for Miller from Oakland. Closer should be priority #1.
2. Trade for Diaz from Denver. It will be a rental but they should jump on it early to beat the comp.
3. Trade for Parades from Tampa.
Morel needs to go. Worst Defender in baseball. Let another team figure it out.
I would put 3 guys on the no touch list. PCA, Horton and Brown. Rest are talk worthy.
"Maybe the Cubs are a bad team" ---- well, imagine if we had a half decent closer. That's 4 more wins at least. Imagine a half decent catcher between the two of them ---- that's another few wins. There we go. Why are we stuck with Nervous Neris?
I honestly think they need to be sellers. I also think that when he reaches his 10 year vesting, Kyle needs to retire. Yan also needs to be replaced. (So does Amaya, but that is not going to happen). Trade Cody. He has a bit more value than anybody else they have. Who else do you think would get something I'm return?
2024 cubs= warning track parade
Keep the prospects. Get whatever you can for Happ, Swanson, Bellinger, Morel, and Hoerner. It's time to move on.
Where the F is Cody? None of these players can produce on offense. We are the Honda Civic of MLB and it’s a mid-90s version
Haha
Don't disrespect the civic like that.
@@ron1970SJ wish I could take full credit… J. Hood said it on ESPN Chicago yesterday.
@@ron1970SJ solid ride and they go forever
They need to bring back the Try not to suck t-shirts and wear them under their uniforms every game.
Our luck is bad. We get an out and oh wait, the ump called time out because a ball got loose from the Ray's bullpen.
Not sure who is judging talent for the Cubs but how could you let a pitcher like Estrada with a .086 era be let go. Jed has the final say so.
Catcher automatic out. Morel and Happ are way too spotty this year. Not doing good. Suzuki needs to be cleanup! Find another closer. Neris walks someone almost every inning!
I am afraid of the bad trades Hoyer is capable to do, just to keep his job. I am not sure trades for Diaz, either Vladimir, Luis Roberts, or Alonso will do anything.
This is a big concern. You don’t want him making trades to save his job.
I'm tired of Hoyer decisions why is Hendricks and Gomes still on this team
they signed Lopez from the Mets
Its probably fitting that the Radio show is sponsored by Adult Diapers because I'm pretty sure thats how the team has been getting delivered to the ballpark lately.
what a disaster. Cubs should try open tryouts for Relief Pitchers
Can't do much worse lol
Charlie Sheen is available
well cubs controlled this whole game and it kinda feels lil like last year . i dont think cubs eat 2 years of happ or suzuki so i would look for bote wisdom or even tauchman to be on the move that should be able to get a catcher maybe even a bp arm and just outright amaya not because of one bad game but the regression is horrible and who knows maybe he figures it out somewhere else . you eat hendricks money move on maybe a future coaching job and its peaceful and you get cassie canairo and davis up here if u need to flat out bench some of these guys maybe that lights a fire with some of these guys idk just a thought . but the couple lifeless abs after pca got on second tells me this needs to happen soon. but anyway good takes on this team guys!
When a pitcher is throwing a shutout let him pitch.
We played better when we had the veterans on the IL.
Counsell wasn't the answer
Pirates in 2nd place now. 😂
Don't worry everybody the answers are internal😂
I told you they were toast.
No more No more Bull pin! Play 9 pitch nine! Counsel , has to stop it ! Time for experiments to stop
I know some hate the kids. But with time , HERE COME THE KIDS.
With time ? How much time ? There are no future can't miss stars in that over hyped overrated system . It will be more years of tryouts and failure because you can't build a playoff winning team without proven MLB talent .
Ethan Roberts will be coming soon
Im beginning to think getting Counsell was a bad idea. I was harsh on Rossy and stand by tbat he wasnt a great manager.......but I just think the Cubs summoned some bad karma by firing Ross and replaced him with Counsell. Craig just seems like a low-energy guy with sulking body language. I dont see where he is ever capable of inspiring someone to pick themselves up. All I can imagine him doing is being stern and samey. Consistency of demeanor is good but the dude seems like he is pretty robotic.
I'm not impressed. Milwaukee? Hasn't missed a beat.
Are you guys protecting Neris?
HOYER has Got to Go
If Canario gets the opprtunity and does not do good, then something is going on, and we can only guess and pray for who will be, at least good between our minor leaguers.
Last year bats way overachieved....this year not so much
They hit in April
@@cubsbaseballchannel Yeah that's the thing about baseball...regression to the mean
Neris is NOT a closer.....he wasn't a closer with the Stros
situational hitting. Where is it? Doesn't exist on this team.
The name is Bote. Play him.
And Bote is hitting .333
Great to see
Yeah but that’s a positive we need and no one’s talking about it. I think a person who works in improving himself deserves recognition. You were asking for him to be brought up and no mention of what he’s doing now. Don’t get it.
Need a hanky???
First off let me say that Amaya is not and never will be an MLB quality catcher. Secondly , a manager is supposed to earn his keep in 1 run games and scoring with RISP and keeping the LOB number down . Counsell has not done a damn thing to make a difference in these areas , and the constant batting order changes do more harm than good . The outrageous contract they gave Counsell and the low class dismissal of David Ross has left a bad taste in a lot of mouths , including some players and understandably so . This was another mistake by the incompetent Hoyer , they overrated Counsell and Milwaukee has proven that . If your waiting for their unproven prospects to make a difference , it's gonna be a long , long wait . Don't fall for that overhyped BS !
BUNT!BUNT!BUNT!BUNT!BUNT!BUNT!
this team is done
Sell, sell, sell.
Just one move has to be made: fire Hoyer.
…..and Hawkins
Especially Hawkins@@Zen_17k
The team needs to have a players only come to Jesus meeting.
Cubs won’t overpay for a superstar. But they will overpay for mediocre players like Smyly. No situational hitting whatsoever, That’s why they can’t add on runs. Can they please stop with the hand signals when they get a freaking hit? It’s not helping. All this depth in the organization is blocked by cheap contracts to Tauchman, Hoerner, wisdom and others.
🙄
Fire Jed for fielding this trash.
Trade!Trade!Trade!it's time to rebuild again!After the break. Done with team in 2024. Boring!
This team has no stars. Bellinger, PCA, and Hoerner are probably the closest ones. Dansby Heyward, behind Kris Bryant as the biggest bank robber. I'd rather see that fat body Moises Ballestereos at this point than Gomes and Amaya, what's the worst that can happen? Morel homers at a 27% clip but hits .208. Suzuki is fragile, unlucky, and umpires hate him apparently. Suzuki will accept a trade to a warmer climate. Tauchman may have some value. Gawd it's a tough time to be a Cubs fan.
I will say it everyday. It is called KARMA. Now we will call it “The Curse of David Ross”. Lets wait another 108.
disgusted
Cubs W!!!!! Hector Neris SUCKS!!!! i think he needs a week off for a mental reset
No one is batting over 270 on the team. We r getting what the rickets paid for. Suck less
It's not 10 to 15. It's about 16 to 17...GET SOME FREAKING Energy. And once again. BUNT .
Transposing this idea I had while listening to another podcast:
We should initiate an MLB rule where if a team throws a pitch over 100mph, the organization gets fined $5000 and it goes directly into a competitive balance tax.
Basically low risk infractions incur the minimum penalty. And a high risk infraction, like what St Louis did to Willson Contreras would be the maximum penalty.
Think about what this would do, it would:
A: discourage max effort pitching, increase batter success and game excitement.
B: extend player careers on both sides of the ball
C: decrease the competitive gaps between the best and worst teams in the league
D: cheaters are penalized, promoting fair play
@@Mark-si2hflook at how far back the majority of teams are in the standings. Those are end of season numbers. Look at all the injuries across the game. Look at the pitching dominance. All these things aren’t good for the sport.
🤣
I really think you need to move the mound back 6 feet. The game has evolved over the last 150 years and the pendulum has swung way too far over to the pitchers. There needs to be a big correction.
Is anyone else just sick of this team? The are simply not good. What a waste of hope lol
