This is Hoyer's mess.Do not let Hoyer make any more moves.He's done enough damage
The problem is that Hoyer is still living off of 2016. Hoyer and Hawkins need to go. So sick of the Cubs thinking they are smarter than everyone else in MLB and this is the result. It is back to “same old Cubs”.
I don't even listen to hoyer press conference, the dude is full of shit, his decision making is shit, but stupid ass rickets won't do shit about it
Thanks for the show guys! LET'S GO CUBS!!! ⚾️ ✌️💙🐻
Keep this amazing podcast going! The highlight of my week! Thanks for your brutally honest yet accurate coverage of our Cubbies!
The problem is the Ricketts confused Hoyer with Theo Epstein
Absolutely put all his chips in on Jed I believe that
For about 2 months…none of the Cubs hitters have been able to square up a fastball down the middle…no matter who is throwing the fastball.. watch ‘em. If they hit anything it’s a hanger or a high change-up. They can’t hit a fastball. Nobody can!
Do they have a hitting coach?
Those pitches right down the middle that they lay off of drives me crazy
cringe to watch them batting
@@djnicholasjames You can almost predict the outcome of each at bat
So UNCLUCH
You never see a timely hit
First 2 men get on
Double play ,inning over
Amen to Gordon! Love it!
I totally agree with Kap. I don't care if this is a new generation of players, they need some old school discipline!!
Gordon is correct about the Cubs being built like Jeds Padre teams.
The change needs to be at the top. But I can’t see Tom doing it.
Thank you for taking Craig Counsel, Pat Murphy making great moves and showing emotion.
Haven’t seen as much of the Ricketts post WS win. Judging by how we Chicago fans still live off the 85 Bears and 90s Bulls, there’s no incentive for the front office to do anything other than rake in our money regardless of the product they put on the field. They won’t care if we scarcely sniff the post season for decades.
Edit - I posted this before you got to that point.
Kap get saying this the freaking Chicago cubs like that suppose to.mean something we aren't Yankees or Boston,dodgers the franchise who is elite and wanna win. Chicago middle market team we was lucky and got Theo . Theo hurry up got outta here don't blame him the ownership cheap and don't wanna win. Marquee market did nothing 😂 all heard was when get this tv deal all this money was suppose to come to the payroll lol third biggest market number 9 or 10 payroll 😂
Add 2016 I was alive to see that 😂 it's going to be another 100 years before you see another 1.
Well said Tom Ricketts has been in hiding since his infamous comment during Covid about him losing money “of biblical proportions”. 😳
A lot of good points. It’s a mess.
This is basically the same team that went 57-43 the final 100 games last year and just missed a play-in game. The consensus was to keep the team together & Counsell was supposed to come in and improve on the margins. Now after seeing worse performance pretty much top to bottom as well as mental mistakes that are an entirely new problem & not putting any of the blame on the manager is total hogwash.
Masterbouni is related ro somebody in the front office im telling you
100%
@justinnoceda2115 Never thought of that but it makes sense.He's hitting a buck forty and still in the majors.What's that about?
@@justinnoceda2115 Cubs are a joke.I hope the fans stop going
Ricketts has no motivation with the stands full. So he doesn’t care that Hoyer and Hawkins are bad at their job, almost like it’s by design. Counsell seems bought in too, like he was told part of taking the salary was letting the team flounder. I’m guessing, but it looks like he’s making no effort, letting it happen.
@@JCar0106 Not only stay away from Wrigley but don't buy any Cub merchandise and cancel Marquee subscription. I'm doing that.
@@JCar0106 I hope we start seeing 12 to 15,000 in the seats.That will get their attention
Tomoya Mori /Catcher Orix Buffaloes- the guy is a stud here. I live here in Japan. Never have been a Happ fan. Just an average player at best.
Never thought much of Happ either
Suzuki strikes out too much and his defense is terrible
awesome talks. my 3 favs!!!!!
The Cubs need to trade everyone here’s why because Tom Ricketts Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins didn’t do a good enough job of getting enough prospects back for example you had to trade Ian Happ after he made the All Star Game in 2022 and they should have traded Wilson Contreras in 2022 at the trade deadline.
Don’t remember anybody saying they should trade Happ or Wilson in 2022. You think they would have gotten top notch prospects back to help this team in 2024? I highly doubt it. Your logic is flawed
@@Rambletambleforevermoron
Ross benched Schwatber when messed up in left field
Well part of that was and is the fact that Schwarber is no LF and not a Catcher…..he is a DH
Good discussion. What if the Cubs do nothing? They don't buy or sell anyone of value, and just play out the season with what they have...That seems more likely given Jed's off-season moves. If he's going to make any move, he'll just pick up DFA players. Surprised he's not going after Tim Anderson...LOL
Great episode.
Somehow the offense is horrendously bad, and it keeps putting pressure on the whole pitching staff. It’s insane the broadcasters openly sound bored of this team and point out how had they are
It seems like Hoyer assumed everyone would play like last year and they would get the team that went 50-28 in the middle of the season.
Everyone should be hot for a trade. They aren't going after a Star to lead the team. They need to rebuild. I am also concerned that the covided prospects that Jed is in love with aren't turning into the players he thought they would become. Even I am not sure Crow-Armstrong will ever hit MLB pitching. I have been a Cubs fan for 48 years. I am tired of being the Lovable losers.
Do you think this is done by design
Were about 85 game into the season and our top hitter has 45 rbi's, who by the way is batting .198 LMAO.... This team has to be one of the worse ones I can remember since the mid 90's. Send all the offense down to AAA except PCA.
I paused this video, right after Kap asked that question, and before "Gordon, and Michael answered" about finishing in last place!! In earlier comments I don't think the Cubs will win 60 games!!🤔🧐
That is Cubs baseball!!!!!
I put some blame on the base coaches for some of these blunders as well. Using this last example of Bellinger, I guarantee the first base coach wasn’t in his ear about the outs, situation, etc. like he should have been. That’s his job after all.
Rally killer is up
GDub im glad you said its all ok Jed man
All these bafoons on Marquee who say "oh ya know, yelling and screaming doesnt do anything." What else is there to do when roster moves aren't being made, line up is not being changed, no one is getting benched for making bonehead mistakes on the field? It is ridiculous.
Change is coming
To the cardinal fan
You guys are always competitive
Your 2 corner guys are great and wilson is returning
Winn is a good young player.
Im still angry we didn't resign wilson.our catching situation is a joke😢
I don’t trust Hoyer to close a car door properly much alone making trades that will benefit the team.
I don't think Ricketts knows baseball enough to know who, or what to do, in my opinion, The Ricketts purchased a "Cash Cow!!" in Wrigley Field, along with their original business, an thought, "Man!! We really got something here!!"............That's as far as they thought it out!!😞🤔
Cubs looking shakey
That means," AALL!!" the players that the Cubs organization had going back as far as Lou Brock, don't know how to coach, or evaluate talent!!🤪
Mastrobuene has got to have someone with pictures with a zebra
Never trade Steele
The Cubs haven't hit ever since they faced Paul Skenes!
craig counsell happened
It’s a long season. You have good players having the worst seasons of their careers. So far. Hang in there. You never know what will happen. From a Cardinals fan.
This team is just a bad mix man we have gave these group of guys enough chances break it up and sell
They have to dump salary and bring up the kids.
Phillies Fans Will Invade Wrigley This Week, Have A Good time, and Kick Your Ass!
Hell yeah GO Phil’s baby! 🖐️
Why should the Cubs be sellers? What will they get? PROSPECTS? Don't they already have one of the best rated Minor League systems? Why get prospects when they already have a bunch of top prospects? Why don't they use some of those prospects to bring in some stud hitters?
they were sixth n offense last year what happened?
Hoyer and the Cub front office are poor at talent evaluation.Mervis and Crow Armstrong are examples of this
PCA’s problem is he can not steal first base. Whatever happened to Mervis??????
@astrosjer822 My question exactly.I think our so called top minor league system isn't as great as we have heard
blown leads is so bad for morale and creates pressure everywhere else idk how they expected to be a winning team with this a$$ bullpen (that's on Jed, no?)
Jed has royally fucked this team up badly
Trade J Steele to Orioles for ready made stud young hitters and a pitcher like McDermott....say Kjerstad, Norby, McDermott thats not waving flag for 25. Thats legit RF, 2B, #3 starter potentially. Positional flexibility also since Kjerstad can play LF, DH. Norby came up as SS and can play 3B as well
Top of rotq
Rotation stuff
Gordon also thinks the A’s announcer is great!
Tyson Miller
DAVID ROSS IS LAUGHING AT YOUR ASSES 😂😂😂 ROLL OVER IN THE GRAVE CUBS CLUB HOUSE😂
Do not trade NICO HORNER, PLEASE.
What happened, and the problem is that the Cubs just aren’t a good team besides starting pitching, even though them and STL were the odds on favorites to win the division before this season started. I tried to tell cubs fans they were overrated and wouldn’t be contenders this year but I just got called a hater😂🤦♂️ Now everyone is back tracking acting like they had no expectations for this team💀
Why are the Brewers always underestimated? Even as the defending division champs?
Anybody who thought this Cubs team was going to be good going into season was delusional. This was a poorly constructed team. When you have a GM who runs a large market team like a small market team and doesn’t do nothing in the offseason. I am diehard Cubs fan and I have seen some bad Cubs team but this might be the most pathetic Cubs team I have ever seen. The Cubs need a new players but more than that need a new leadership and vision.
Cubs are looking terrible inBaltimore
Anybody see the northsiders Chicago
You guys need a hanky?????
I don’t give a hoot about utube guidelines-why? I give a hoot about quality ball players that give 110% and find ways to win. U have to blend good moral players interested in winning w/out being politically correct. Unfortunately too many Chicago personalities get confused about balancing morals and politics. Politics is the wrong path to follow. Cubs don’t have Arietas,Lester’s,and Lackeys as backbone of staff!!!
Nothing happened they were overrated by people Jed really didn't improve the team except for the rookie pitcher
Bellinger career OPS=.822 This year .743 -10%
Swanson career OPS=.733 This year .657 -12%
Morel career OPS=.754 This year .683 -10%
No wonder this offense is putrid. These guys are supposed to be key hitters.
Keep Hoerner, Bush, Steele, Imanaga, Brown, Assad-- otherwise back up the truck. And PLEASE, find a major league catcher!
Back up the truck to Wrigley right now!
Hoyer and Hawkins are worthless, fire them and find a big market exec.
Cubs are looking terrible in Baltimore
Third worst. .??? Not secondcworstest????.?.
Fire Jed. Hire......................Me.
Trade Happ, Nico, Bellinger, Taillon, and a few other guys.
Nico can be traded because we have Shaw, Morel, Busch, and Triantos
I'm tired to hear that tom ricketts does about team bullshit tom ricketts only thing the ricketts wants to develop prospects and not spending money on Superstars players but tom ricketts doesn't not care about this team and best cubs fans too
You overrated them Mr.Flipper
Hoyer is a disaster. In over his head for years.
YES PLEAAASSEEE DUMP TAIILON!!! He’s the worst
Jed Hoyer is not capable of solving his roster problems....he created them.
Tom Ricketts is one of the weakest, if not the weakest owner in the MLB.
Color it...Status quo
Calm down.
Gordon the joe Biden of sports announcers
but Gordon finally beat medicare 😂
Awesomely awfull
Garbage team. Fire Jed or stay garbage
Yes please trade Nico Hoerner doesn't not have any talent he sucks a player please cubs trade Nico Hoerner
Kap is wearing a really ugly shirt
Does this Gordon dude just yell all the time? I can’t listen to this
The brewers traded drew Rasmussen and Jp feryersein for adames…what the fuck is kap talking about
They fooled us all......The good news lot of these guys won't be back because you can never bring back a team that STINKS including the GM 👉🥴......Now as for you guys I TOLD YOU all to buy up all the good relievers on the market including Hader. Now just because Hader hasn't had the all star season with the Astros doesn't mean he wouldn't of had it with the Cubs. You could see the changing point of this team when they gave away excruciating games and watch the teams demeanor look like this. 👉
