Was there really a point in cutting Gomes if you replace him with Nido? He’s terrible.

I agree. at least gomes has veteran experience and is good in the clubhouse. he was very clutch hitting last year but this year the catching position in general has been brutal
I've never seen a team that takes more center cut strikes than this one. And a big percentage of them are on strike 3. Strike 1 and 2 shows a lack of aggression. Strike 3 shows that they are all just guessing.

Another stellar move from Jed.

2 hits. Go Cubs go.
I know it's a stretch but in what was arguably the biggest game of the year for the Cubs, the matchup was Hendricks vs. Peralta.

I don't mind taking strike 1 but certainly, taking strike 3 right down the middle isn't acceptable.
23 games left to the trade deadline. 5 games out of the playoffs. Probably have to go 15-8 at minimum to justify making any acquisitions towards winning this year.
What an unmitigated disaster this season’s been.

Dead team walkin’
Other than another awful Cubs effort, any details of the Illini night there? Bielema sing the 7th inning stretch? Was Underwood on hand?
Meh... Managers are easy scapegoats. Which guy on the bench should be getting more at bats? Which guy in the bullpen should be getting the call in high leverage situations? There are no good answers on this roster right now.
This group of guys folded down the stretch last year in the exact same way they are folding right now.
