re: CHC 8/31: Cubs 6 Pirates 5 | Final | Cubs Sweep!!

no, there's certainly potential, and they're no reason to hit the panic button. more time for taillon and kuhl. more time for bell. cole gets reset. polanco is coming into his own as a rising star and clutch hitter. could shape up pretty well next year, but damn the central is just impossible. especially if they go cheap again in the offseason. that's probably what has the people here most angry, is they didn't address lingering problems in the offseason, and were cheap, and ended up the existing problems getting worse.

i'd like to see cutch swap w/ marte in CF, but lord knows what's wrong w/ him.

i don't know if it's clint hurtle or what, but how this team manages to have a whole month every season where they are just awful is perplexing -- especially when the organization knows they did it the previous season and it makes too big of a hole in the standings to emerge from.
