Our whole team is unplayable right now

Of course Cleveland and Minnesota are both losing and we won’t take advantage of it

Bad take. It’s lopsided just with Eloy in the deal. Quintana has been terrible for the Cubs

Jose said it best that the team took the foot off the gas after clinching a playoff spot. Sad because that shouldn’t have been just “the goal” this season. The manager says it’s “just baseball” and now the team looks like it couldn’t beat a AAA team. This team needs someone to light a fire under their asses again and Ricky needs fired for not ever doing it.

Nope

Man we are terrible

Yep.

Lol you know Ricky won’t do that.

Talent wise I agree, not even close, but I don’t want Ricky sabotaging a young promising players start to his career due to management loyalty.

No room for error for a pitcher who was struggling before injury. He didn’t even have time to get a feel for the strike zone in live game action. Huge difference and if Ricky has decided he’s going to use Rodon in those situations in the playoffs with the way the rest of the bullpen that we have had been pitching this year, he deserves to be fired tonight.

Boylen was also the guy who has stunted the younger players growth. Billy Donovan even said they have too much talent to be where they have been the last 2 seasons. Same thing over on our side of the city. Keeping Ricky much longer just may affect our growth as a potential championship team. All the pieces are there even with the holes in RF and DH. However there is one glaring issue and that is the manager. If Ricky wins manager of the year, he will easily get a free pass the next couple seasons. Jerry is loyal to a fault, we all know this.

Agree 100 percent. This was the perfect series to ride into the playoffs. We should have taken 3 out of the 4 games versus Cleveland. In my opinion our rotation showed me we can hang in low scoring affairs. The management of the bullpen is what lost us every single one of those games.

It’s the same Owner who kept Jim Boylen around for so long. Unfortunately Ricky won’t go anywhere for the next 2-3 years at a minimum.

It isn’t just this series guys, Ricky has done this all season long. Using relievers that shouldn’t be used in high leverage situations and then wasting others in games they shouldn’t be in during a blowout. I’m amazed how anyone can back his decision making. This series has just magnified it all. Imagine what decisions he will make come the 2 games we play in the playoffs. He’s not manager material and if the only reason he’s still employed is because he can speak Spanish then that is simply unacceptable because there are many around the sport who is able to do that.

They are going to fall to 3rd at this pace

Kinda feels like this is the 05 stretch we went through just in the condensed version obviously. Hopefully we snap out of it today and ride that wave into the playoffs.

First 3 game losing streak of the season, no?

Ozzie and Frank Thomas about to lose their damn minds

I ordered playoff gear and I honestly don’t know if it will arrive before our 2 games are up ?

Such terrible managing of the bullpen

ballgame ??

Did they waste the pen yesterday? Didn’t watch was working late? This makes zero sense

Was meant sarcastically, being between Nomar and EE being bad has worn off on him finally.

I blame it on batting in front of Nomar. Nothing else I can think for him to be in a slump looking this bad.

Phew don’t know if Robert saved a HR
