@BornOnThirdCubs Yep, this is well receoved. That said, these teams under Counsell have endured some pretty long offensive slumps (pretty much every season) under his management. I think theres room for some selective emotional pleas to right the ship once in a while and mitigate the slumps.

The Cubs go 20-3 over a 23-game stretch.
Craig Counsell is finally able to use a full roster. His don't get too high or too low approach keeps the team grounded.
The Cubs struggle for 2 weeks on the heels of that stretch.
Counsell needs to get mad!!!
Lazy. Enjoy the day off.

@markstrot Enjoy the series for your team. Never seems to be enough for younger generations anymore.

"4-0 Brewers as we head to the 5th. Let's go down to Taylor McGregor who is making balloon animals and explains why they help the bullpen with their grip on sliders."

@BleacherNation Sooo i launched out of my seat at Wrigley seeing the trajectory of the ball off the bat figuring a tape measure blast, and at the end Wood was moving swiftly toward the infield to catch it. Absurd.

@MDtheDream @Road2TheGarden This is really good (from an MU fan). Butler nation lucky to have you .

Alright, Ronald Nored is hired as Butler HC. Some thoughts, will share more on podcasts, and as we learn more about his roster.
Main thing for me is they have to be ready to work the portal yesterday. Can’t wait around, have to get the evaluation infrastructure in place now.

@BleacherNation Do you think they fly to Chicago after today’s game?

This is it! The final spring training game of the year! After this, we've got an off-day tomorrow and it's back to Chicago for Opening Day!

@SecretMarquette @PaintTouches I think I know where you’ll go with this. Pretty much that they were put in untenable positions due to this roster construction, though i don’t think that absolves Gold of his shooting woes.

@PaintTouches Im bookmarking this to share my thoughts at a later date.
I don’t think people will like my thoughts on this.

I don't think I'm being harsh when I say Chase and Ben failed this season. This was their #mubb team, and they were not able to fill the roles set out for them.
But the on court disappointment does not mean I'm not grateful for everything they gave Marquette the last 4 years.

@Michael_Cerami Congrats on the scoop and beating all the nationl heavy hitters to it. Wildly impressive! You’ve come a long way since Brett made a (shrewd) decison to take you on!

@markstrot And yes the cost at the deadline for even decent players was stupid. I think there was a consensus on that. Not sure the cubs get much further with another arm (especially with Cade injury) and their window probably closes a few years shorter with a deal.
English
@markstrot Well, to be fair, everything was going as planned until about mid-June and then the Brewers went on a historic run that no one - including you- foresaw (and I could say the same about Kyle’s drop-off/injuries). I think hindsight makes for a neat but disingenuous narrative.

Do anything I can to change the mojo. No camera, no camcorder and I’m keeping score for the first time in a million years. Doing my part, @Cubs. #behereforit

@Avis fly into Boston with family only to stand in line for hours. Not a good look for Avis (Boston, frankly).

@BornOnThirdCubs The Boog Burner sounds like a Honda civic with a giant spoiler, flames on the side, and muffled exhaust.
English
@CubsZone Have we ever seen a ball literally land right in front of third base on a throw that far away from center? I feel full appreciation of this throw remains months - perhaps years - away.
English
@markstrot Cute that you still care. Thanks for sharing watching.
English
Craig Counsell can’t manage a bullpen now in three countries. Pretty cool.
English
@BornOnThirdCubs Right and completely counter to their interests.
