Say Cubs go 1-6 vs Cards and 2-1 vs Pirates, they would finish with 70 wins, I believe. Wonder what our draft slot will be if at 70 and 92, still #7?Quote:

Looking like he'll be right.
Watching the Cards play well with such a average group is very Cub like. But watching them get thump out of the playoffs by the Dodgers after playing so well in September will be fun.
I still think the Cubs will end the Cardinals winning streak.
I know the season is coming to an end and there is no other options by Davies is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. I would rather the Cubs forfeit his starts instead of playing them.
If Hendricks doesn't recover next year we don't have any starting pitching minus a bunch of bottom of the rotation schmucks who could just as easily belong in AAA.
That plus our bad pen is alarming.
Hoyer is a genius if he can build a 90 game winner next year because we're trash.
Not sure how to feel about this.Quote:

Im gonna guess it only a 2 yr extension, which will get him through 2024 and most of the top young prospects will be up by then.Quote:

I would just rather not keep him around any longer than currently obligated.Quote:

From the start it felt more like a hire simply because he was familiar and part of the gang and not so much about his capabilities to actually manage a baseball team.
We dumped Joe Maddon because he was too loose with the players and we hired David Ross? A buddy and former teammate of the entire dugout? Wtf?
Personally I have no problem with an extension. It's definitely not his fault for the roster he was given. His lineup was half filled with former All-Stars, not current All-Stars. There is no question on whether they are going to spend or not. They are definitely going to spend a lotQuote:
