This is pathetic
First, he is a professional , a guy who works his butt off. second, he is not the guy Cubs fans remember nor will he ever be again, he is done. Finally, this game is nothing more than watching a major league team against a minor league team; pitiful play, horrible swings (they have no clue what is coming and/or could not hit the pitch even if they did know). This is what the Cubs will be like for the balance of the year (hope for top 5 draft position) and likely 2022 considering what they received in return from their trades. Wonder what Ricketts, Hoyer and Epstein (who has to be smiling that he is out of this mess) strategy was in 2019-20? Wonder what Cubs fans think when they go back to 2016 (WS Champs) and think that this management team sold off their future in 2016 and 2017-18. Say Gleyber, Eloy, Cease, etc.... now the future is ?????
This. He was done before the cubs signed him back this past offseason. Not resigning him and letting him go to the Phillies was an example of restraint shown by Theo and the front office. For all the hare people like to give them for the heyward signing, the Q trade, etc…gotta point out the smart decisions they made as wellIt was time to say goodbye long before tonight’s shit show.
I’m curious who was in on the decisions to bring him back and to sign Trevor Williams. Obviously Jed, but curious if someone else internally was selling them as anything but giant turds.
Hows gleyber doing the last year and a half?First, he is a professional , a guy who works his butt off. second, he is not the guy Cubs fans remember nor will he ever be again, he is done.

Couldn't have won it without him. His run in 2015 will be something that I'll never forget. To this day, all Cardinals fans that I know still say he was juicing during his run with the Cubs
This. Saw some stupid article blithering about "the last straw being Jake asking a reporter to lower his mask".This may all be true but letting Milwaukee post a 7 spot top 1 is a joke
I honestly don't know what you are even trying to convey herePush aside the BS. The fact is he was not in the plans anyways. Jed was planning a 6 man anyways. He added Steel. He has Thompson pushing up his pitch found in Iowa so it was between Davies and Arietta
It really was not close between the two.
One game or one remark is a reaction. Professionals will look at a body of work and see one guy 50% better that avarage and the rest Jake. Then you had a Jake. So half a Jake is better than a full Jake and he won the not fired game.
