@thekapman @davetodd387 @JesseRogersESPN @TylerAki_ Tom is a joke and has one of the worst Pres of Baseball Ops in the game trying to put together teams.

@davetodd387 @JesseRogersESPN @TylerAki_ That's not how Tom thinks. He may not push all of his chips in this season but he will continue to spend at this level.
English
What we’re seeing is the reason Tom will use to NOT spend going forward. ‘I spent, and we sucked.’ Not saying he wants to lose, but this is justification to not spend. @JesseRogersESPN @thekapman @TylerAki_

I’m starting to think Craig Counsell is overrated as a manager.

Do the #Cubs even have an All-Star?
Kalshi Baseball@KalshiBSB
NL MVP Favorites, via Kalshi: Shohei Ohtani (76% Chance) .285 AVG | 149 wRC+ | 0.73 ERA | 3.3 WAR Kyle Schwarber (7% Chance) .226 AVG | 161 wRC+ | .947 OPS | 1.6 WAR Matt Olson (4% Chance) .263 AVG | 144 wRC+ | .887 OPS | 2.3 WAR Does anyone have a chance to catch Shohei?

@jkempradio @IowaCubs Maybe they can use him in Chicago.
Can’t be much worse at this point

BJ Murray singles with two outs in the first inning and then steals second. He has a five-game hitting streak, during which he is batting .437 for @IowaCubs.

Comes down to this
Bregman 175 million 689 OPS
Hoerner 141 Million 190 BA in May
Swanson 177 Million Batting 186
Happ making 18 million this year batting 211
Seiya making 18 million this year 6 for last 51
Jameo 18 mil leading MLB in HRs thrown
Steele Hurt
Cade Hurt
Boyd Hurt

He certainly has been the last couple weeks
The Windy City Breakdown@wcb_pod
Ben Brown, the Cubs ace?!
English
@jgbarratt @Michael_Cerami Brown at this point is better than Boyd.
Boyd hasn’t been good since last July.
English
@Michael_Cerami Might be? I don’t think there’s any question. Boyd’s making his way back and could be the 1. Imo Imanaga is tipping and clearly struggling. Taillon is a 4 at best. I’m pessimistic Steele will play at all. Cabrera? Maybe 3? Offense needs to get hot. They’re the best hope.
English
Ben Brown might be the best healthy and active starting pitcher on the Chicago Cubs right now. Which, lol.

American Bridge 21st Century@American_Bridge
Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden are still defending Trump’s Medicaid cuts while families protest outside Wisconsin hospitals worried about losing care. Their message to struggling Wisconsinites? Work more. #WIGov #Wipolitics

@ASFleischman @JoshMcKoon A competent U.S. AG would have had Trump in prison too.
Garland was worst AG in U.S. history
English
@JoshMcKoon Fani Willis fucked the case up.
But Trump did affirmatively make knowingly false statements to Brad Raffensperger in a recorded call--for instance, that 5000 dead people voted.
That's a felony in GA and a competent prosecutor could have secured a conviction in 2021.
English
Hard to square that with the dismissal by a career prosecutor once the case was taken from the clutches of a power mad partisan.
Again have you even read this?

Kari Lake challenged the 2022 Arizona governor’s race in court, repeatedly tried to overturn the result, lost, and was not prosecuted. So no, Josh, people are not prosecuted merely for “raising questions” about elections. There is a legal way to contest an election: file in court, present evidence, accept the ruling. The Georgia case was about alleged conduct far beyond asking questions—fake electors, pressure on officials, false statements, and an effort to overturn a certified result. That distinction is not hard. It’s just inconvenient for your martyr narrative.

Hasan actually told his community to vote for Harris and now that’s he’s under attack from the Trump administration you lie about him in order to assist in the crime.
Trump is doing the same to liberals like Comey, but hey, your internet beef!

Actually I heard on his stream that Trump isn’t a fascist and the libs are just overreacting. So it should be fine

@brendan_cubs Boyd wasn’t good before he got hurt.. really since July.
Cabrera has been meh.
Need more from them than just “health”.
If not, Cubs might not even been buyers comes the deadline imo.
English
The path forward is:
1. Offense normalization and play within their projections
2. Boyd health
3. Cerebra health
4. Brown's ceiling continues to be realized
5. Get to July trade deadline
English
Bizarre start to a season. Pitching injuries continue to pile with incredibly frustrating offense.
Pitching depth got slammed and the offense is prone to slumps. When the 2 converge, yikes. Projected for mid 80s wins due to underwhelming pitching outlook. Need guys to step up.
English
@Brett_A_Taylor @bglaeser8 Jed had plenty of time to replace Steele.
Horton injury stung for sure. Maybe Wiggins hurt somewhat.
Boyd hasn’t been good since.. July?
And the “depth” at Iowa.. YIKES.
JT, Assad, Rae have regressed.
Cabrera has been.. meh.
Quantity doesn’t mean quality.
English
@bglaeser8 Cubs fans have talked about the injury concerns in the rotation since March.
But even setting that aside, you're also wrong about them not having depth. They had exceptional starting depth - any org would be stretched losing their front FOUR starters.
English
Cubs fans will use this as an excuse but don’t forget that 3 of these 4 have been injury prone their entire careers.
Everyone has injures, you need depth and they don’t have it…..
Brett Taylor@Brett_A_Taylor
The best version of the Chicago Cubs rotation this year would go: Cade Horton (injured) Justin Steele (injured) Edward Cabrera (injured) Matthew Boyd (injured) Shota Imanaga (bubble-wrapped)
