*** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

If Caissie continues to be consistent the rest of the season it’s going to make the decision to not go after Tucker and spend that money elsewhere(hopefully pitching) much easier.
Tommy isn't signing Tucker or making any big moves this winter. More biblical losses incoming in '27.
 
LOL what is Counsell doing? PH the hottest hitter today for Turner?

I said the exact same thing. Dude is raking and he PHs a guy batting .216. WHY??
Turner batting .291 vs LHP compared to Caissie hitting .225 vs LHP in the minors this year. That was absolutely the right call with runs likely tougher to come by tonight. Counsell isn't blameless for how things have gone during this scuffle, but I'm ok with him making that decision 100 times out of 100

Yeah maybe. I still let him hit with how he has played today. It's still early.

Damn that's a hell of a sequence by Matt Shaw, playing his nuts off, damn that's fun to watch

Was Tucker really the problem in the clubhouse? The Cubs are playing so much better without him
