They need to move on from assad. Cant pitch deep and his luck will run out in a big way eventually
I hope rickets are watching the playoffs, that's what happens when you go out and the good players you need to be playing in October, HOYER NEEDS TO GO AWAY
Just remember who beat many teams to sign him. Be kind to someone did a lot of good things to our Cubs …… 😂
Hopefully ownership will take note of a Dodgers Yankees World Series and model the cubs after one of those teams and less like the diamond backs. I won’t hold my breath though
The rotation was good, not great, but they still need a true ace. Getting a SP from the 2nd tier IS NOT good enough, but that's probably what their cheap asses will do.
Imanaga A, Steele B, Taillon B, Hendricks F, Assad C, Brown, Wicks, and Wesneski are a D for not being able to stay healthy.
Also remember when all the preseason predictions put Cubs at 83-87 wins, they all assumed Imanaga is a best case #3 SP, which around 10-12 wins. And same analogy people think Gomes and Cody would be close to their 2023, which I also doubted. And if you look at the Cubs this season, that’s the difference in offense. Forget all the other people’s up and down. It came down to Cody regressing a little and Gomes totally bad. Remember last season Gomes hit so many key hits for Cubs and Cody hit so many clutch hits. That’s the difference and I don’t think people’s expectation had that counted in. Plus the bullpen injury, that was devastating. So please give Jed some break and respect for making most decisions right.
