Joe Maddon may be a miracle man in the clubhouse but he couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. He is the worst at making a line up and also just flat out sucks at in game management. The Cubs have been so good last few years they basically out play his crappy moves.

I am old enough to remember catchers actually CATCHING third strikes.

I like Willson Contreras, but he has not caught a third strike in a year.

Need some relievers in the off season and also need a starting pitcher.

I figured the Dodgers would win the serious, but I didn't think the Cubs would just get punched in the mouth and lay there gasping for air....pathetic.

Have to hope for a Boston vs Yankees comeback. I don't see it.

So confident ive packed up all the "lucky" gear or threw it in the wash.

Probably be more interested in hawks game tomm as this is a rerun of 2015

Lots if young undisciplined position players but tons of holes on the pitching staff next year (2 In the rotation and about 3 in the pen).....somebody is going to have to be moved off the ml roster (Baez Russell happ schwarber) and a grinder/obp leadoff type of needs to be signed

That's a lot of moves in one off season!

Sometimes I forget how young this team still is. This collapse is actually less surprising than winning it last year. They will patch up the lineup and they will be back.

While Maddon does some things that make a lot of folks scratch their heads he has had the Cubs in 3 straight NLCS. He is far from perfect and I would be the first to say the Cubs won the WS in spite of a couple of bazar moves but I still maintain they are a better team with him than without him. He is not out there pitching and hitting. Scoring 2-1-1 runs is not going to win you a lot of games.

Every manager looks worse when their bullpen options aren't good.

And, yes, the lack of offense is coming from regular. It's not like he has subbed schmucks in all postseason.

Gotta love the fucking bandwagon jumpers....yeah, he's terrible. All he's done in 3 years is 3 final fours, around 300 wins and a World Series. He should be fired immediately.

Some fans should be banned for raw stupidity.
