God dammit Joe. You fucked this entire game up with your bullshit pitching management again. No reason to take Kyle out after 90 pitches for a pinch hitter with the bases empty in the top of the 6th. That left you needing to cover 4 innings with this pen which is not built to cover more than 2 maybe 3 close innings. Then you started pulling guys mid-inning and burning up the entire pen and leaving the corpse of strop to give them the fucking lead. You live and you die with your god damn 2 hit, no run starting pitcher.



the fucked up thing is they need another arm to get them to Kimbrel. Once you get to Kimbrel you're pretty assured he will close out the game.

I'm fine with them pulling Hendricks at 90 pitches as he works his way back into shape. Come Sept/Oct not so much.

Cubs have had a lot of heart breaking loses this year.

Where they lose the lead in the 8th or 9th.

Like was said, 3 in the last 4 games like this. One in extras.

If Joe is going to do that then he has to go with a long guy for 2 innings. He can not manage these games like game 7 or he is going to end up with a position player closing the game if they even get that far.....which they did not tonight. I want to know if Hendricks was pulled because of 90 pitches or because of him coming up in the batting order that inning.

It was the combo of both of those things why he was pulled. It made sense.

Giants won another extra inn game.

Now since we're the top wild card team we got to worry about like 5 teams catching us.

I guess they're going to drop 2/3 on the road. It's almost automatic.

Why can't this damn team get hot like the Giants who have not even half the talent of the Cubs.

Shaking my head why this team underachieves so much.

Team continues to look disinterested. Hitters not working counts, swinging for the fences, missing signs. Theo was threatening changes last week...he better hurry and make those changes or this team will waste another year of the "window".

So dramatic this one.

You genuinely believe the team as a collective, or any individual player is disinterred?

Also, how many years of the window, according to you, have been wasted? Are you a championship or bust guy? It’s really tough in this sport to go deep in the playoffs every year of a window.unrealistic expectations to think a team will win a WS and then make or win an LCS every year in the window. Generally baseball doesn’t work that way

I’ll be at tonight’s game. Doing a late lunch at Smoke Shack in the 3rd Ward and then a simple tailgate. Have 11th row right past visitors’ dugout. If anyone else is going, let me know. I am definitely buying and wouldn’t mind hanging out before the game. It is just me and my brother.

Yeah I am definitely going to be hitting some more Wrigley games, not sure about out of town stuff. I have a line on tickets for certain home games.

Not dramatic at all. If what a championship window entails needs to be explained to you then you may be out over your skis a bit. Theo himself called out the team last week and they just demoted a guy for not knowing the signs, so if your not seeing the lack of focus then really can't help you.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

What a cop out.

Years ago Theo said it was unrealistic for a team to make the playoffs every year of a winning window, which so far they have. Sometimes successful organizations during a championship window just aren’t good enough during a given year.

Russell having his head up his ass is not indicative of the teams interest level in winning.

Who else besides Russell looks disinterested in your opinion?

Or can’t you be bothered to back up that criticism?
