It’s starting to look like 2013, the last time both the Chicago Cubs and White Sox finished last in their divisions.
Fans react to Chicago Cubs’ Patrick Wisdom being called out at home plate in the fifth inning at Wrigley Field on Monday, June 17, 2024. There was no escaping an angry fan base, an imploding bullpen, an embattled manager and an overall feeling of ennui surrounding a last-place team.So the only fair way to decide whether to attend the Chicago Cubs home game against the San Francisco Giants or the White Sox home game against the Houston Astros was to flip a coin.
Manager Craig Counsell began his press briefing by informing the media it was “hot” outside. Confirmed. Someone asked if he had ever been in the bleachers before, and Counsell said he had not. We were off and running, or at least power-walking.came up, and whether Counsell would continue to put Neris in a closing role after the disastrous blown save Monday, which followed a disastrous blown save in Tampa Bay.
Counsell didn’t have these problems in Milwaukee where All-Stars Josh Hader and Devin Williams were closing games instead of blowing them, so managing the Cubs bullpen is probably a lot like learning a new language.“That’s not an excuse, that’s just a fact,” he said. “And our depth has been challenged. We’ve got to keep trying to help the guys improve and also try to put them in the right spots to have success, and at the same time keep them rested and keep them healthy.
“So, I know that actually there’s a lot of speculation on who is going to be in what role in future years and really it’s about showing up each day and figuring out how to put our players in the best position possible,” Getz said.Oh, wait. Getz wasn’t done. He continued, saying if a manager gets the most out of his players “you are going to be in a good position to get a lot of wins. And there’s a long list of players that are playing well.”If that’s more than a handful, it’s quite a list.
