Just as a heads up for everyone since both the Cardinals and Cubs are playing on FOX tonight, the Cubs game will air in the Peoria/Bloomington market and any markets north of that.
Chicago Cubs 2024
With Happ, Tauchman, Bellinger and PCA all on the roster, there’s really no reason Suzuki should be seeing time in the outfield, when he’s repeatedly shown that he can’t catch.

time to do what all MLB teams do in these situations, fire the hitting coach
6 straight series losses. Last year with basically the same lineup, the offense scored the 3rd most runs in the NL. despite some questionable lineups and substitutions sometimes, I don't blame Counsell. this is on the players. it's incredible how many guys aren't performing up to expectations
My typing finger is twitching but I'll hold off on the dreaded "We Stinks" until we lose a game to the White Sox.

I think at least one of these must be true:
1. Hoyer is a bad GM.
2. Rickets has handcuffed Hoyer and feels no sense of urgency to put together a WS contender since the Cubs got the elusive title in 2016. Cubs payroll is ninth highest in MLB- not horrible but not where it could be either.
3. The Cubs got the wrong guy from Milwaukee.

Brown made two bad pitches yesterday. The HBP and the home run, an off speed pitch right down the middle when no one was catching up to his fastball. Then the Cubs got 4 shut down innings from their pen.
The offense has got to pick up the team in a game like that, but they went 1-11 with RISP.

It's just a real bummer that there isn't a dedicated time of the year or process for the front office to address the on-field needs and weaknesses from the previous season. Seems like a major market team with ample resources could probably make some productive moves or come up with some insurance for injuries or underperformance at that hypothetical portion of the calendar. Alas.
Sox probably activating Robert today. For the 2nd straight year they wait to play the Cubs to activate him from IL.
Also, pushing up Fedde to start Wednesday. I'm surprised they didn't rest Crochet 3 days to face us tonight.
This is their World Series but if we can't beat them twice at home we have a problem.

At least Schriffen can't say: “It feels like this run that the Sox are on, we're catching teams at the wrong time,”

Now can we say this experiment should be over?

I'm not concerned if they lose one game to the White Sox. But if they lose the series or get swept, the Cubs need to do some major overhauling.
And to think they could have actually traded him before the season and probably had a pretty sweet return.

Was this during the rain delay? If so, it looks like your sacrifice appeased the baseball gods (at least for 1 night).
Started the process when they were down 5-1. Tried Marquee for two months and it’s just not compatible to how I consume sports. Record everything and watch later. Watching a large amount of live regular season baseball is just not something my attention span can take. Plus the Cubs seem to stink.
Are you kidding? If they continue their current streak they will be 131-31, new record for wins!
