If you look at the everyday lineups this past season for Brewers vs Cubs, there’s no way Milwaukee should have won that division…except that they have a much better manager

That's a good point. Especially when you take a look at a couple things:





One of the most frustrating things this past season was watching the Cubs beat the shite out of a team 20 to something one day, then losing 5-6 the next day or two. Those extra inning and one-run losses are brutal and that boils down to game management in most cases.

I'm just surprised the Cubs made this move this abruptly. Pleasantly surprised at least. I guess Ricketts is gonna spend some money.
