It’s cus the bullpen blows every game, that’s all it is. If the cubs can hold leads in the 7-9 innings the cubs would be 2.5 games out of first in the division
Sorry, dude isn’t a matter of “leadership” when the quality isn’t there you can have Ryno and Dawson in their prime and it will be the same 💩 show. Hoyer trying to compete shopping out the bargain bin and not developing quick enough. #hoyerandtheentirecoachingmustgo
Well said! Usually, even when the Cubs are going nowhere, there is a player who is the leader - most recently - The Rizz. This team - Dead Fish as Mick on the Cubs News Channel says - respect to the Setup Man!
I really don’t see a future for this team, the cubs in 2015 won like 97 games, which gave them a perfect vision for the future. Now they are 6 games below .500. What future do they have? What’s the answer for this?
I said Counsell was going to be a disaster but nobody wanted to listen. He is a terrible manager with no personality and cannot motivate this team. They were playing so much better under David Ross and he was getting better as a manager.
There have been no good relievers on this team all year, except a thrift store guy Hoyer picked up after he was cut by the first place Mariners. What does that tell you, Counsell always had two or three elite closers in Milwaukee making him a 6 inning manager. This season is on Hoyer’s judgment, not just Counsell’s management. IMO. Although I’d like to see some emotion/passion.
@@JCar0106 Doesn't explain the fact that almost all the same relievers last season pitched way better under Ross. Why have they all regressed? Counsell is not using them right. He leaves them in for too long.
Is there a way to find out if Jed wanted to really build like Tampa and Clevel and Tom wanted Jed to sign some players to raise the floor while they develop young players(which would explain why the organization seems torn)
If this farm system is so good, then bring up some of the kids, Put Cassie in right, Shaw at third, dh Morel and the right fielder, trade for a closer and catcher and give up some of those other minor league prospects. If anything else, try something different and quit waiting on these so called veterans to finally wakeup.
I'm starting to wonder if our expectations were too high. They had us feeling like we could bring these young guys up and still have a chance to win the division.
They made us think all those things. It is a game of keeping your fans expecting things will turn and get better. When we open our eyes, season will be over with all Wrigley games at full capacity for a losing Cubs team. Then the plan of every off season keeping hopes we will go after the best free agents, where no one will be signed, then selling us the minor leagues “future stars” and this will be repeated again, and again, and again every year. Shame.
This team can’t hold a lead. If the Cubs bullpen was half as good they would be 3 games out of first place in the division. The starters do their job every single game. It’s the reliever roll that needs to be addressed.
They really aren't as bad as they've been playing.For one thing the injuries have been overwhelming and Bellinger and Suzuki likely came back too soon from their injuries.Happ also had a hamstring problem that may not have healed
They need Merryweather and Almonte back and that could help the pen and they need much more from Swanson and Hoerner.The other guys are starting to come around.Plenty of baseball left.Let's give them to the Allstars break before we throw in the towel
Dansby was able to call his team at this time last year because he was raking at that time. Now he’s just part of the problem, so instead of holding himself and the team accountable, he’s making excuses. I get trying to stay positive, but you have to call a spade a spade and demand better.
Should be gone. He's had years to fix the bullpen. You pay 8mil a yr for a top manager and give him a $2.00 bullpen. 16 blown saves is on Hoyer. Buh-bye
As things are going, one of the Ricketts (I am more inclined to think Tom’s sister has the guts Tom lacks) will have the final word, when this season is over.
Tom Ricketts is the problem here’s why because he’s the same exact way as Jerry Jones the Cowboys Owner trust me I would know because I am a Cowboys and Cubs fan so I would know so I don’t trust them to spend money in free agency anymore
Jed has YET to fill 3B, 1B, and 2B (we didn't need Swanson at SS, we had Nico, we needed a 2B) since 2021, that is really incompetent to be honest. 3 years to fill Rizzo, Bryant and Javier's position and to this day has yet to do that.
Guys the real issue that keeps the losing going is catcher and closer/Neris. WHY is Neris allowed to keep pitching the 9th when he's blown games at a horrendous pace. Why is Amaya (or how) is he the ONLY catcher they have in their system?
This team does not have a 300 hitter in its entire line up. We have so many holes to fill and we go and pay a manager 7M and the team he left is playing even better. The farm system doesn’t mean shit they never bring players up and let them play. Perfect example 40 gets hurt and they bring up 20 instead of Canario. You can say all you want about how good they are if you don’t play them. They are not making the playoffs.
In my personal opinion, the achievements of any paticular team minor league systems, needs to go along with how many of them become good Mayor League Players. With much respect I dont care about rankings and how many are good in MiLB. They have to show it in the Majors. For me the Braves, Dodgers, Astros Brewers are the ones we should look at to imitate.
I think I can safely speak for the rest of the NL Central and our advice is that the Cubs should do exactly what they are doing. Change nothing. Isn't it amazing that the Brewers spend $100 million LESS and are on top of the division? All the money that the Cubs spent in 2024 has you at the bottom of the division. Certainly things may change but there is such a log jam in the division with the Cards, Reds, and Pirates. I would wish y'all good luck but I don't think the Cubs would know what do with it.
Brewers have Joey Ortiz and William Contreras for under $1 million. Both should be getting paid what Yelich is getting at least and that’s another $40 million. Cubs don’t have a guy like that under roster
Cubs totally suck. Dump the whole relief staff. They all suck! Dump all the hitters that are under .225 average. Only good players are the starters. Almost 1/2 done this season and in last place!!!
Whos b carein? Wirlin verlin breakdancer froms Crestwood IL do. Wirlin b doins dat cubs slide downs dances. He so sads verlin nots b listens to KISS. Dis b he breakdancein partner Chrispeter. Da hots band ins da land KISS.🤘🤘🃏🇺🇸🎸🕺🌪️🍼🧃🚨🥵🐕🤡👁️👁️😂🤭
I'll be the devils advocate here.. ... the Cubs have the exact record today as they did last season when they played the Pittsburgh pirates and swept them and started to turn the season around.. Turning point this series? I HOPE SO!
@@franciscosantiago9032 Who wants to pay money to watch them figure things out? It's not one player or two, it's ALL of them. This is ongoing every year. They play like they don't belong in the MLB. Do they feel like Anthony Rendon? They sure look and play like it. They are boring, no spunk, no spirit, and they are not a team. Look at the Padres, Yankees, Phillies, Rangers, Mariners teams, and how much of a unit they are. The stadium vibes is fun, the music is better, the silly but cute handshakes, the interactions from their managers is a refreshing thing to watch. It's not just about the winning, it's they play and the way they act. They should work in an office and sit in cubicles. Nobody cares about last year's statistics, especially when people spend money to go see a game. The cubs needs to be demolished and rebuilt from scratch, and it starts with the owner.
@mizer9510 The same exact thing could've been said last year when they were 7 games below 500... I bet a lot of people were off the bandwagon and didn't even think possible a run like they had in July and August. Anything can happen in baseball.

How to Fix the 2024 Cubs. Watch here: ua-cam.com/video/T7SpxjA1Mqk/v-deo.html
Blame it on Swanson 25 mil and Belanger 35 mil they are supposed to be the Allstars and RBI guys. They are both B.U.M.S
miles mikolas with the wind blowing out and we can’t get a single hard hit ball
pathetic
Nobody wants to step up and be a leader. The Chicago Cubs have always been a team that grinds and has heart. Plays with passion. I see none of that.
It’s cus the bullpen blows every game, that’s all it is. If the cubs can hold leads in the 7-9 innings the cubs would be 2.5 games out of first in the division

What happened to the quick turn around after they gutted the championship team? Craig Counsell has sure made a difference!
I said Counsell was going to be a disaster but nobody wanted to listen. He is a terrible manager with no personality and cannot motivate this team. They were playing so much better under David Ross and he was getting better as a manager.
Counsell will be fired in a couple years
There have been no good relievers on this team all year, except a thrift store guy Hoyer picked up after he was cut by the first place Mariners.

I don’t know if I’d say he’s terrible. You seem more upset he’s not animate and the team are losing
I searched my head for one word to describe Counsell….uninspiring….thtats not a good trait for a leader.
Morel needs to sit down and let someone get a chance. Pete is trying to hard and needs to let
pitches come him instead chasing the pitches.
Agreed. Morel have had his opportunity to show what he has. Let another kid do it, and compare.
How Jed hoyer has a job in baseball is beyond me.
I’m gonna do a follow up video on Jed later this week
Is there a way to find out if Jed wanted to really build like Tampa and Clevel and Tom wanted Jed to sign some players to raise the floor while they develop young players(which would explain why the organization seems torn)

What ever the Cubs do moving forward do not let Hoyer make the moves.He's done enough damage
I'm starting to wonder if our expectations were too high. They had us feeling like we could bring these young guys up and still have a chance to win the division.
Yes, and we are getting absolutely schooled by the teams in our own division.
because they are not bringing any of the guys up
They made us think all those things. It is a game of keeping your fans expecting things will turn and get better. When we open our eyes, season will be over with all Wrigley games at full capacity for a losing Cubs team. Then the plan of every off season keeping hopes we will go after the best free agents, where no one will be signed, then selling us the minor leagues “future stars” and this will be repeated again, and again, and again every year.

Fire both Jed Hoyer and Craig Counsell and rehire David Ross.
This team can’t hold a lead. If the Cubs bullpen was half as good they would be 3 games out of first place in the division. The starters do their job every single game. It’s the reliever roll that needs to be addressed.
Average is what they want, or at least they what they are demonstrating as their desire. Fire Hoyer NOW, bring in a big market organization!
There are so many problems with this team that it's hard to tell what to do to help.
They really aren't as bad as they've been playing.For one thing the injuries have been overwhelming and Bellinger and Suzuki likely came back too soon from their injuries.Happ also had a hamstring problem that may not have healed
They need Merryweather and Almonte back and that could help the pen and they need much more from Swanson and Hoerner.The other guys are starting to come around.Plenty of baseball left.Let's give them to the Allstars break before we throw in the towel
Hoyer's moves have been a mixed bag.Imanaga and Busch look good but Swanson hàs been disappointing and they stayed too long with the catchers
Do you think the top teams care about law of averages
The team has no spirit.
No playoffs? Brett said the Brewers were not a challenge.
Thanks for the show guys! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️✌️💙🐻

Wrong Jerry. He’s like Jerry who owns the Sox and the Bulls
The reason why they’ll never say that they’re trying to tank is because of money, Wrigley Field sells out,
Milt here I don’t see giving up three top projects to get Gjr then pay him three hundred million or more no way let the kids play milt
Jed has YET to fill 3B, 1B, and 2B (we didn't need Swanson at SS, we had Nico, we needed a 2B) since 2021, that is really incompetent to be honest. 3 years to fill Rizzo, Bryant and Javier's position and to this day has yet to do that.
It’s not good. I’ll be doing a follow up video on Jed this week
Michael Busch’s .820 OPS and Cody Bellinger and no 1B?
Guys the real issue that keeps the losing going is catcher and closer/Neris. WHY is Neris allowed to keep pitching the 9th when he's blown games at a horrendous pace. Why is Amaya (or how) is he the ONLY catcher they have in their system?
I think u have more of a pulse of this team then front office.
Sounds like that guy brett is related to jed🤪

HD please.
How do minor league batters get experience against major league pitching without being in the major leagues?
So, what about a trade for Brent Rooker of the A's?

Those are good ones to model too
Root root root for the cubbies, if they don't win it's the same....
Replace the core with the farm players, things will be so much better. Bring some life to this team
We just won!

We all owe Ross an apology

This team was never a playoff team.
They were, but only if the roster was at peak performance.
