What a dump of a performance by the offense. Ross had to get too cute with lineup and change what was working

too many LOB

bot 9th 1 out guys on 2nd and 3rd morel and happ K . Morel's K wtf was he thinking - it was right down the middle, just get bat on it and it gets thru the drawn in infield.

blue jays gonna be a hard series.

why was tauchman not in tonight? he's been hot.

but they're still in the hunt. brewers won today but seem like both them and the reds have cooled down.

after the last 3 very good weeks - not surprised by the local hype, surprised by the national hype. the club is a few games over .500. ross was on mlb radio yesterday morning and the hosts were fawning over him. ross talked about peaks and valleys (smiley) of a long season and said the cubs have lots of winners who know how to battle and keep the inevitable bad patches at a minimal. ok, let's hope so.

after selling, mets were brutal in their last series against the royals and orioles. the cubs and rossy were the right medicine. bad loss last night.

Did the Cubs win or lose that last series against a losing team?

The "This team has talent" Cubs rank 28th on remaining strength of schedule and are fortunate to be in a weak division. August pitching ERA 27th though. Grandpa could be on the hot seat if they collapse Aug/Sept. The door is wide open for them to sneak in the playoffs. They're the most glorified 3 >.500 team in the history of Chicago sports.

Why is Happ (who has been shit for over a month but denis likes him cause he takes a walk now and then) hitting 3rd? If Bellinger is hitting third instead then he's up with the bases loaded and maybe it's a different story. Ross will keep this team out of the postseason, he can't even figure out how to pitch around Pete Alonso.

so, are we justified to judge Grandpa Rossy by his record now, or should we just continue to consider him a good manager because he was a catcher

i believe so. he's got better pieces - compared to april and certainly better than 2022. we'll see how quickly some of the winners get out of mini (swanson) and chronic (happ and suzuki) slumps. looks like he was dead set on giving gomes 2 full days off either due to age/fatigue and/or saw a slower bat.

never thought candelario was an all-star, but his acquisition had/has a positive domino effect - no more mancini, jared young, mastrobuoni, rios and less wisdom....maybe, even less madrigal. seems like ross' current line-up dilemma is go majority of games with suzuki or madrigal.

not even talking about the pitching. mlb network (tv and radio) are very optimistic.

Cubs next 4 opponents (12 games) are a combined 92 games <.500.

well if they want a playoff spot anything less than 8-4 is unacceptable.

Lance Lynn 3-0 2.00ERA since leaving your dumpster fire of a "team" :lol:

I'm sure Hahn will hire Rossy when the Cubs dump him for the next manager to lead this team to the World Series again.

Marcus Stroman's rib cartilage fracture is shrouded in mystery. Organizational wide no one has seen it before in a pitcher. Plus, oddly he took infield Sunday as part of his training. Coming off a 9+ July era in a contract year might play into it.
