Reinsdorf doesn’t care about the Cubs because it doesn’t matter how they compete with the Sox because he does not get hurt by bad attendance other than maybe lower consumption of the concessions. He does not have to worry about attendance because of the deal he has with the Illinois sports authority. If attendance drops below a certain level, he gets compensated. So no matter how many people do or don’t go to the games he’s guaranteed not to lose money. That was the deal that he made with Daily and Thompson to keep them in Chicago. And he did deliver a World Series to us, which is something many of us thought we would never see.

I’m talking about Moncada’s’ decision making on the base paths

I think we have much bigger issues with the team than that.?

Reminded me of Moncado base running

The Cubs version of Moncado, as far as baserunning goes

Wait! Garcia could go on a tremendous tear and ignite and inspire the team!

How about renaming us the Chicago Triage?

JR does not care about the attendance because of the deal he has with the sports authority. If attendance goes too low, he is compensated by the taxpayers

I think it is too soon to panic. The beauty of a 162 game season is that players tend to perform the way they have in the past. There are white Sox hitters performing well below their career averages and they will begin hitting. The Braves were below 500 last season and won the World Series. But they did make some big deadline moves to shore up their outfield so they were a much stronger team after that. The division is weak and I think the White Sox can overtake the twins without too much trouble . That will put them in the playoffs and the Sox top three pitchers are enough to win playoff series. I have bet on the White Sox to win the World Series and I am still comfortable that they can do it. Maybe I am overly optimistic but I do think that in a 162 game season, the cream always rises to the top

Mine too

I forgot to point out that all the umpires are against us.

Yes the more they lose, the better the odds that they will ultimately win, or something like that.

I guess the place is so crowded nobody goes there anymore.

The division is so bad they probably could win it with only 82 wins. Then the masterful strategy of having all of their players rested for the playoffs might work this time. The best way to do that is to play your regulars as little as possible so that they don’t get injured. That’s the ticket. https://youtu.be/iS4z4zF-g44

Another way to look at it though, is they are getting all of those meatballs because the pitchers don’t think they can hit them.

The division sucks, they will easily make the playoffs.
