  1. Dansby Swanson played poorly all year. Of course we heard from good old Dansberino about how the team needs to be better, but he didn’t speak much about his individual performance this year. Hopefully during the offseason he will have a Dansbiphany and figure out how to hit again.

  2. The cubs win around 83 games a year just dont cut it they do spend money the problem is not the right mix the bats go slight for a week at a time and the bull pin is a big problem !!!

  3. truthfully this season was fun. it could’ve been better but there were nice moments. we just gotta keep building and make those big moments like we mentioned

  4. In a nutshell, the Cubs blew 25 or something games. If they blow 5, they are at 100 wins right now. Has Clase blown 25 games? No, hence Cleveland is on their way. Moreover, as I have said, the Cubs LACK aggression. They don't swing at the first pitch strike. They take close pitches that are more often than not obvious strikes, or close strikes, or even an inch off the plate. They take ALL of them. Suzuki with this check swing crap? He's a .280 hitter being a moron. He's a 300 hitter if he's aggressive because he's a great bat to ball dude. If it is 2 and 0 in a hitter's count? They TAKE that pitch. What is their average with RISP? Yes, Suzuki gets jobbed on close pitches but he's so dumb he continues to strike out looking and he continues to take strike one down the middle. You must be aggressive, hungry, cocky, etc. They are really close to being a good team but they also groove 1 and 2 pitches as pitchers. It's a fundamental thing, a mindset thing, not a talent thing. Yes, they don't have Harper or Betts or Freeman. But they do have really good players. Their bench sucks. Why Mastro and Wisdom are on the team is a mystery to me. So, they need to pitch better in the 8th and 9th, and they need to attack as offensive players. That's how close they are to being a 90 or 100 win team.

  5. Swanson is a joke , don't care for him. There's no captains on the team . Just crap cubs settle for. Sam is rite about 82 wins. When year started I had em at 89. Chicago sports is a joke . Why cable is canceled . Will be off to see bulls lose first game of the season. What's there to look forward to. Same cubs next year and year after that. Cubs don't want to win , and get talent. Do you see the Padres hanging on to young guys , no they trade. Cubs you do not have talent in the minors , who are you kidding. Pca is OK got better. But real won't go farther. Bellinger, Swanson, are problems. Big problems are Hendricks, smyly, and waste of money like wisdom. Cubs need catcher, 3rd baseman, closer, and star starter,and a great hitter. Same as last season. And. I'm not sticking around to wait. F you marquee network , and Comcast. There's a radio. Thank for your input Sam and Matt. Go mets… lmfao.. jed is a piece of crap…

  6. Again….. 17 games BELOW .500 for 2 months got you all this. Dansby opened his yapper last year to begging not to blow up the team at the trade deadline and then proceeded to 💩 the bed in Sept. Stop the talking and play better ball Dansby. His name was Dansby “HUUUUYYY 1, HUUUUUUUUT 2, HUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYY THREE” Swanson the K machine for the better part of 75% of his play this season. Get your ish together.

  7. Your talk about having to beat Milwaukee sounds a lot like the way people used to talk about the Bulls having to beat Detroit. They drafted to be able to get past them and they succeeded. The Cubs need to follow that kind of path.
