ChiefsPlanet - Cardinals ****The Official 2019 STL Cardinals Thread****

Already read it.

Cubs have the highest WAR in the division and will end up 3rd and they'll be lucky not to go 82-80. This is the 2nd September in a row they have crashed and burned.

Thanks for the WS that you damn nearly lost with your managing, Maddon. But don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It's not all his fault as the FO has ignored the warts in the lineup and the Cubs need a couple tweaks like a ****ing leadoff hitter and a 2B, along with some bullpen help and 1 starter, preferably a top 3 starter. But it's hard to not see how unmotivated this team is and how ****ing sloppy their play has gotten as the years under Maddon drag on. It's almost like how Matheny's career ended with the Cardinals. The defense has gone to shit, they have led the league in back to back years in outs on the bases, and there is absolutely zero awareness at the plate as they are one of the worst teams at making contact in any situation.

5 games left in the season and you lose the first 3, almost all due to Miller. How about some ****ing offense?

No clue.

My gut says with Jed Hoyer, assuming he doesn't take the GM job with the Red Sox, that Mark Loretta is most likely. He hired him in SD as assistant to baseball operations and now hired him again as the #2 coach.

I imagine they will ask David Ross as he has some random assistant role in the Cubs FO, but he's been pretty clear that he's not interested in any coaching gig just yet, but he's also been fairly vague with his answers as Maddon's Cubs career winds down.

Other than that I don't really know who is out there since I don't scout would be managers.

Cubs are trying to give you a series sweep and you look like you have never seen a baseball thrown at you before.

And **** Miller to hell, that guy needs DFA'd 2 months ago.

Down 6 now.

I guess I just don’t know what you’re hoping to accomplish by rooting for losses now. I can maybe understand that logic in July if you want wide scale changes, but after making the playoffs for the first time in 3 years, regardless if it’s a one and done in the wild card game, what changes do you realistically think are going to be made?

I don't know much about the managers out there either. I have a few Cub friends that would like to see Ryne Sandberg get his shot to be the manager. I just don't know much about how good of a manager he would be for the Cubs.
