Take a knee. Put Tiller in. Something.
This looks bad, even with just the Gametracker.

Well before this year the previous two years involved an NLCS appearance and a 95 win season. If you expect heads to roll after every season that doesn’t end in a title you’re gonna go through a lot of coaches.
We are just trying to improve our Draft Position by losing
As they should, zero value in winning another game this year.
The Cubs were projected to be an 87 win team by fangraphs before the year, they aren’t that talented of a team. I don’t know what more it takes for you to believe it.
I have to quote this again because the stupidity in this post is so amazing. Joe always seems to get through unscathed LOL, a manager who goes 97 wins, NLCS, 103 wins, World Series champs, 92 wins, NLCS, and a 95 win season some how manages to not get fired. What the **** are you talking about?
You're a real piece of ******* **** arent you? The **** you talk to other people in this thread is beyond old. Acting like you're the only one on this board that knows anything about baseball. I would LOVE to see you say half the **** that comes out of your mouth to my face and to the other people you attack in this thread.
To the irrelevancy of your post: I'll talk down to you in only a way youd understand. In the context of the potential this young core had, the seasons following have been disappointing. We've underperformed since the WS. And you can sit here and tout your win total till you're blue in the face, but the fashion in which we've been bounced out of the postseason plays into the underperformance many of us see. LOL
It's not stupid at all. Each of the previos two seasons and this season we have failed towards the end of the season and in the playoffs. Each of the previous two we have placed the blame on hitting coaches and got rid of them. 3 hitting coaches in 3 years, and the same issues. At some point, you have to stop blaming lower management.
So tell me...when should Maddon have been fired? After year three, you’re firing a guy for going NLCS, World Series Champs, NLCS? For a franchise with the history of the Cubs you’re running out a manager after the most successful three year run in their modern history? Or is it after the following season? A 95 win season which included somehow having the second best bullpen ERA with a makeshift bullpen led by Jesse Chavez. After that year is when you think they should have fired the manager? It was a stupid post the first time and your defense of it is just as dumb.
And trying to threaten someone from behind a keyboard is always a weak look but way to throw that in too.
The previous two years? The Cubs had a great second half two years ago, bouncing back from a terrible first half. Last year they had the best record in the NL. They can switch managers all they want, the window is closed for this group thanks to the moves the front office has made, like I’ve been telling everyone. Let Joe walk, bring in Ross or whoever and it won’t narrow the talent gap between the Cubs and teams like the Dodgers, Astros and Yankees. The Braves and Cardinals are also catching up and passing the Cubs as they can actually develop major league talent internally.
Get a hold of yourself and don’t be such a little *****.
Reading comprehension is hard for someone as dense as you I get it. No one is saying fire him until this offseason and no where did I threaten you, keyboard warrior. Just an invitation to see if you'd be as rude in person as you are on here
So when you said somehow gets through unscathed? What exactly did that mean?
And yeah i would gladly say any of this to your face.
Change in management needs to occur - I really don’t care who, it’s it’s Joe or higher up.
But we can’t go any lower than Joe.
Joe let go of John Mallee, who got our bats to the WS and by all means seemed to have success. 2017 we finished in the NLCS and probably made a mistake deciding not to renew his contract and proceed to hire Chili.
The baserunning and mental mistakes we make are 100% coachable, but when there is a constant regression and all coaches below the head man have been replaced and the regression continues, change needs to happen.

You think Joe makes these decisions independent of the front office?
We'll give it a chance. Give me a time and place.
Anybody that sticks up for the **** you've pulled in here deserves.
If we found a way to have Joe stay but also not do a ****** job of finding his assistants, that would be excellent
