No, I think he has a voice in these decisions.
Sort of like he probably had a voice in letting go of Bosio (****** character) and happened to replaced him with his Rays buddy.

What do we do about his bullpen choices then? I don't think he'd be itching to delegate that away.
Agreed that he has a voice but so does Theo. And the Cubs aren’t hiring or firing any coach without front office buy in. I mean look at Mark Loretta, that was all front office hire.
I absolutely believe that Joe and the FO were pretty much on the same page up until last year. I think the FO spent most, if not all of last offseason doing things with the “my way or the highway” mindset.
And I can’t totally fault them because, again, I think they probably gave Joe a little more power than they wanted and his push for Hickey, and Hickey just up and left and went to the Dodgers

Yeah four straight years of having a top bullpen prior to this year, who would want to repeat that.
Cubs bullpen ERA MLB ranks:
2015: 8th
2016: 8th
2017: 6th
2018: 2nd
People who think Joe is bad at bullpen management are probably in for a rude awakening next year. And all those rankings without ever having a collection of elite relievers.

I’m still waiting for the video of Cubswin jumping off his balcony.
Oh **** man, he disagreed with that post. He’s a solid 5’8” with his shoes on!
How about we stop being douchsnozzles trying to fight behind our keyboards and instead, focus on something we can all celebrate

I am too! Wtf man. This thread delivers (thanks btw), but man that would take it to the next level.
I forgot about him. Prior to the whole rebuild thing I was hoping the FO would find a position for him
