MLB: ***Official 2019 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[Rabbuk]

Not counting tonight... how many more consecutive games can Maddon lose before getting canned?

15?

 

[FerShizzle]

15?

I think it’s more like 5. That would be 3 consecutive sweeps.

Lmao, you guys are nuts if you think Joe is getting canned here in the next couple weeks. He's won 97, 103, 92, and 95 games the last 4 years.

If anything I could see them making a move on a new pitching coach if this keeps up but Joe is on the last year of his contract. They'll either have a good year and renew him, he'll decide he wants to retire, or theyll have a bad season and he'll be done with Girardi taking over in 2020.

If the Cubs end up losing 15 straight, there is no doubt he’ll be canned.

But they won’t.

That being said, the FO doesn’t like Joe. There’s a reason Girardi didn’t take a job this offseason and Rossy wasn’t looked at for the bench job

Have a feeling you could be seeing Edwards in Des Moines here shortly.

His ERA is over 40. 40!!!!

 

[cyfanatic13]

Yeah Carl needs to go down. If nothing else just get a fresh restart. He's got no shot right now and it's all between the ears.

 

[ISUCubswin]

How is Carl looking on options? Does he have any more?

 

[enisthemenace]

Just stopping by to say things are not ideal so far this season.

Carry on.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

This team is ******* awful

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

We don’t want him

They won't lose 15 straight. Their offense has been fine and they aren't going to have a team ERA over 8 all season.

One

It's quite shocking how bad this season has started. I realize there is a lot of baseball left to play, but I'm amazed at how bad this team is right now. Basic, simple stuff. It's as if they freaked out once they finished Spring Training.

Or on that first off day. We looked great on Opening Day.

Apathy is going to set in here pretty quick if this doesn’t turn around.

Cubs are winning today. Bet your houses.

Saw a cool stat on ESPN a little bit ago.

Through a team's first 7 games the 2019 Cubs have allowed more runs and walked more batters than any other team IN THE LAST 100 YEARS.

Yikes. 131 million dollar pitching staff.
