Maddon is going to need to earn his money now. This team needs to circle the wagons and figure out how to start playing well again

I like Maddon and am glad the Cubs have him. He's a positive, Kumbaya type guy and generally that's probably good with a young team. But maybe this embarrassing series serves as enough to get this team to focus a bit better and get off the we're o.k. shite without having to throw chairs in the locker room.

I know this lineup is young, but I'm not seeing adjustments at the plate that I'd be hoping to see from a team struggling to hit.

I agree, I understand the youth angle, but the lack of adjustments by both veterans and youth is a bit discouraging. This is a game of adjustments. And some of these kids may start hitting a wall too.

Soler in right looks like it's his first game out there today.
