***Official 2024 Chicago Cubs Thread***

And just as I post that, the ump calls a strike that was a good 5" off the plate.
there has to be something done when the call is that bad. need to be able to challenge that like the minors can. but can't make silly mistake with fundamentals like catcher interference.
 
Any manager who bats Wisdom and Morel 1-2 in the lineup should be fired on sight. Both bat below .200 and have an OBP less than .300
Morel has batted .160 the last month, and you bat him 2nd? Any other club would bat him 8th or 9th. Dude should be playing in Des Moines, not Chicago.
 
Really hoping if Tauchman is out for any extended time that this basically forces the Cubs hand to give PCA the full time CF spot. I know he hasn’t been great at the plate but he’s also basically just been a platoon player so far. Nothing to lose now, might as well see what he can do with consistent at bats

Wisdom was only batting there tonight cause Tauchman left the game after tweaking something running to first

Another thing I think worth questioning is our pitching development. How we seem to make high level starters on the farm but have zero ability to find a guy who can get 3 outs 3 times a week is astounding
 
CCs comments on Neris and the bullpen in general make me wonder if he's just drawing a paycheck. When referred to about closing issues he goes to his stand-by 27 outs. They're 16/31 in save opportunities. Obviously some outs are more important than others. Because we have guys that can get the other 24.
