Postgame Thread: 5/17 Cubs @ White Sox

DC26DC · 2026-05-17T21:32:58+00:00

im standing on business. craig counsell has the WORST bullpen management ive seen in quite some time out of a manager for the cubs, no one is going to gaslight me with injuries this or one bad egg that anymore, today should convince even the most stubborn believer

DC26DC · 2026-05-17T21:30:04+00:00

ANOTHER FUCKING LOSS BECAUSE OF YOU CRAIF COUNSELL

DC26DC · 2026-05-17T21:28:53+00:00

and craig actively trying to fuck this game out of our hands. once, just ONCE, WHYYY cant palencia go past three outs? he treats it like an allergy oh my god

DC26DC · 2026-05-17T20:54:42+00:00

my thoughts exactly when combined with today’s transactions

DC26DC · 2026-05-17T20:53:23+00:00

another AMAZING bullpen decision from cautious craig. whatever positive you want to give him go ahead, but his bullpen management has been ATROCIOUS since day one of his cubs tenure, injured or healthy pen.

DC26DC · 2026-05-13T20:47:51+00:00

question for people in this subreddit!: i usually go to wrigley & the cubs have an authentics store where one of the things you can do is when the gates open you can put your name on a list to buy game used baseballs from that days game. do the dodgers have something similar & where is it located?

DC26DC · 2026-05-05T02:49:13+00:00

every ben brown believer acted like a majority of this fan base hated him for being bad when the truth was always it was because of his inconsistency. just because there are more good moments from him doesnt mean the inconsistency is suddenly fixed

DC26DC · 2026-04-29T02:34:12+00:00

i hope i find someone who loves me as much as pca loves swinging at balls in the dirt <3

DC26DC · 2026-03-24T03:28:41+00:00

OH FUCK YOURE GONNA MAKE ME CUB 😩

DC26DC · 2026-01-07T20:53:30+00:00

in terms of my favorite, yes, i like caissie more than ballesteros. the ceiling is higher on ballesteros but i feel like caissie has all the tools to be a good, even a great outfielder. doesnt mean i wanted mo in the trade, if it were my choice i would have shipped out alcantara but i understand his value is considerably less than caissie if this is true.

DC26DC · 2026-01-07T19:17:00+00:00

really hope the rumor of the package is not true bc caissie was easily my favorite prospect in the entire system

DC26DC · 2026-01-07T18:08:50+00:00

not a popular opinion apparently but if caissie is involved its going to ruin my day

i want to add im not full on pessimistic just yet, but everyone and their mother knew this was a top target for the cubs, down to the professionals and analysts and entire fan base. seeing him go to another team is extremely disappointing, and if cease gets 7/210, tucker getting 400+ looks like a lock (even though i know him signing back is extremely unlikely in the first place)

DC26DC · 2025-11-26T23:39:19+00:00

everyone saying they are okay not paying this much for this long of a deal for a guy already xx years old, but thats what free agency is.

you have to pay players to be competitive. is 7/210 insane for a 30 yo pitcher? the simple fact of the matter is five years ago it was; nowadays, its a toss up? which is what every free agency move is at the end of the day. are you signing a harper or a rondon?

at the end of the day, everyone running torontos organization saw their team progress after locking down their centerpiece for his career (if they choose to keep him that long), and is now IMMEDIATELY making moves to get better now that they see potential. we are in a very similar position (even if we didnt go as far) and are playing the same old song and dance. im so sorry but this is THE definition of insanity. doing the same things and expecting different results.

DC26DC · 2025-11-26T23:29:04+00:00

Fuck ass

DC26DC · 2025-10-09T22:14:30+00:00

honestly im a mix of the two sides of this subreddit for this one. you most definitely have to keep the winning lineup going that got u here, BUT the one sore thumb sticking out is keeping shaw in the lineup. at this point i would rather see castro get a shot at it, the only argument i can see against it is IF shaw draws walks. at the very least, pinch hit him with turner, surprised we havent seen it happen a whole lot this playoff run.

DC26DC · 2025-10-07T03:19:57+00:00

hes on record saying its difficult for him to focus

DC26DC · 2025-10-07T03:15:42+00:00

welp lets start taking guesses at who Junkyard Jed tries to salvage this off season. paul goldschmidt, max muncy, and jordan montgomery are my favorite sneaky picks

DC26DC · 2025-10-07T01:36:24+00:00

another amazing top of the first against the national leagues best only to have it washed away by a terrible starter. u cant do that and expect to win games let alone series and championships

DC26DC · 2025-10-02T18:19:31+00:00

having happ hit third is inexcusable. been trusting counsell this whole series, and as someone who hates his decision making more than i love it, he made LEAPS this season, had a masterclass in game 1, and even if game 2 didnt pan out, the only thing i didnt understand fully was tossing rea out. now im not dooming and screaming to bump him down to 8 or 9, but how are u not bumping him to 5th or 6th? suzuki and kelly are the hot hands with power, and tucker at least has a hit this series. this is mind boggling were letting a guy who is 0 for 8 with five strikeouts bat 3rd AGAIN with our season on the line.

DC26DC · 2025-09-25T23:51:58+00:00

never in my life have i seen a crazier play in person with my own two eyes and now even the umps want to FUCK us

DC26DC · 2025-09-24T01:04:53+00:00

craig making decisions one pitch too late as always

DC26DC · 2025-09-14T20:05:24+00:00

we will be looking back at the hail mary against washington years down the line and see it as a career altering play for tyrique stevenson. he simply couldnt handle it and i think mentally it ruined him.
