Answer in the comments--Question of the Day:
If the Cubs were a class pet or animal, what would they be?
Recap of Previous Games:
Cubs lost the series to the Rays at Tropicana Field in Tampa and are already down in the series to the Cardinals at home.
Almonte may return in late June as he's close to returning. Wicks has an oblique injury, and Brown a stress reaction in his neck.
Analysis of team performance, strengths, weaknesses, and roster changes, including Brown, Wicks IL stints. Hendricks will likely take the 5th spot in the rotation while Brewer has returned. Keegan Thompson will take one of the spots in the bullpen for Wicks' injury. Ethan Roberts and CJ Edwards have opt outs in their contracts for the Iowa Cubs if they aren't called up.

I did some research.
Since may Cubs are only 11-9 in games the pitching staff allowed 3 runs or less.
For reference the cumulative league record for n 2024 for all 30 teams is 450-62.
Scoring at a league average pace they’d be 41-30. I guess September came early for the Cubs.
Addition by subtraction...lots of subtraction
Who gives a 💩? the fans have become completely apathetic when it comes to this team.. the team doesn’t seem to care.. front office certainly doesn’t care and now neither do we.
I think this team is too broke to fix and that they will end up selling at the deadline even though they don't have much that other teams will want. If this team ends up selling at the deadline then Jed should be fired at the end of the season. He has had plenty of time to turn this big market club into winners and he has failed to build a roster that can compete. The only thing to look forward to for the rest of the season is to get rid of the underperformers and bring up the young players so we can see if they are worth keeping or not.
Yes it’s pretty grim right now. They would need to turn it around pretty fast to be on the buying end
I agree. I think they need to move into a youth movement once ready. I would think next year a lot of these guys should be ready in 2025. Unfortunately, I think Jed is under contract through next season. Unless Andrew Friedman is walking through that door, I doubt the Cubs move on from Jed unless he makes some pretty historically bad trades on behalf of the club.
$240 million payroll. 3 guys in the lineup who’ve amassed a WAR over 5 at any point in their careers and only 1 season each from Bellinger Swanson and Hoerner.
Complete waste of financial resources
I agree. Unfortunately, they still operate like a mid tier team in payroll instead of a big market top 10 team, even though they are featured at #9 I believe in payroll. They aren't as aggressive as some other teams. However, getting rid of three or four contracts that make literally zero sense for us should help (Smyly, Hendricks, Bote, etc.) I' m not sure what the numbers are on J-Hey's deferred contract are so maybe that's even more money coming off the books. However, that May record for the Cubs is pretty atrocious. I just want them to pick a lane and stick to it. Either try or suck hard.
@@BrotherlyCubs Right. You’re going nowhere with complimentary players. For $94 million split between Suzuki Happ Cody and Swanson you have a cumulative 3.7 WAR, for a 9.3 WAR and $71 million you can have Judge and Soto.
Those guys aren’t easy to come by obviously but $94 million to those 4 with limited track records of success is an idiotic wast of $.
I've paid attention to the Cubs all my life. And I've never seen such a waste of good starting pitching. And I mean WASTE. 20 games blown by the bullpen...count 10 more with the anemic run production support. ---Just imagine some of those early 70's clubs with this 2024 starting pitching... we are talking World Series slotted vs. the American League winner before all-star break! ...What started this current winning streak? The veteran well-paid players are hitting like the back of their baseball cards and now...run saving type defense at 3rd base! ...Plus, Crow-Armstrong has embraced the mindset of doing anything possible to get on base and scratch a run across the plate.
@@85decibelmonks30 Thanks so much for the comment! Wholeheartedly agree…offense has been so bad, namely Morel has really dropped off. Wish they would have done something with him already (trade or send down in favor of someone else). I hate seeing Taillon in trade rumors especially since he has had a decent year. If you could make a couple deadline moves, what would you do??
hey guys, I'm a Brewers fan and I absolutely hate the cubs. Much love though
Appreciate the love! We are jealous of your team’s sustainability (no Burnes, no Woodruff no problem) and are realizing the cubs are not as well run as we thought
Man, how you guys keep doing so well without all those missing pieces is astonishing! Good luck this season and thanks for the comment!
sell sell sell
I agree! Thanks for commenting! :D Who are you selling and who do you keep?
@@BrotherlyCubs sell Happ, Busch, Morel....need guys who can drive the ball to the gaps, not just swing for a home run every time and hit .200
@@DerbyKnowledge93 in favor of selling Busch if we can turn him into another piece, so it becomes more like a buy. Happ had a no trade clause. Morel is under team control as well so he’s more like a guy you give up when trying to buy. I think the team will do those moves in the offseason
@@BrotherlyCubsPodcast keep Busch LOLOL
