Be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes!
Cubs.com makes it seem like there will be fireworks at Wrigley on the 4th of July, but it is a day game with a 1:20 start time. Seems like fireworks post game would be before it gets dark. Do any of you have solid details on their plan? Or if no fireworks at Wrigley, suggestions on where to see some? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide us for our visit!
These are dark times for my fellow Cubs fans but the good news is that there have been dysfunctional teams in MLB history to get through and win it all. Just not in this era. We won today's game but the outburst from Justin in the dugout possibly reveals a hint of what may be boiling under behind the scenes.
Not to be that "boomer guy" (not a boomer, I'm a Gen-Xer) to say back in the day but there have been teams who notoriously did not get along and still win it all. They were all in a different era (1970s As, Yanks 1980s Dodgers). The modern game is more laissez faire/ hands off. Those old teams would have full blown fights in the clubhouse to settle disputes. They also all had loud , brash managers who knew how to reign them in. The outburst from Justin was absolutely warranted with the poor performance of this team. His status as a veteran pitcher should be enough to merit respect for it. If there was ever a need for more motivation to make this a turning point this is it. If it is not, maybe there is enough contempt, hatred or malcontent around to keep everyone angry enough to do something about it.
Lupe Fiasco released a great album yesterday, Samurai. He's Chicago. Can anyone take a shot at interpreting this Dawson reference? From the song Bigfoot.
"What does a break take? When does it take place? Often in space and time, important to have a portion Is it a safe space to make mates all at once or in installments? Is it a base rate? Devalue their involvement, is it evolving? Is there a standard to differentiate between the offerings? Or am I just church steps to an orphan and I take whatever they tossin'? Or be more like Andre Dawson when they obfuscate the losses?"

The impetus for this post was a comparison between the tenure of Jed Hoyer and teams with a similar payroll like the Astros. Between 2017-2023, both teams averaged close to $180M in payroll per year. The Cubs have had a 0.516 winning percentage in that span, while the Astros have had far greater success with a 0.611 mark. Additionally, the Astros have made the playoffs seven times, including two championships, while the Cubs have only made three playoffs, two of which were losses in the Wild Card.
When comparing how the Astros managed to perform so well with a similar payroll a few key areas stand out:
The Gerrit Cole example leads me to the crux of this post: The Astros have had consistent postseason success because of their aggressiveness in acquiring starting pitching that helps to carry their team through the season and into the playoffs. When you look at the years between 17 and 22, you see a laundry list of names that are studs in the rotation:
2017- Justin Verlander
2018- Gerrit Cole
2019- Zack Greinke
2022- Verlander (again)
In the years that don't have a big SP trade/acquisition, we do see important contributions from the international guys previously mentioned, that made it so the Astros did not have to depend fully on outside additions during the competitive window.
The interesting thing is that looking at when the Cubs went aggressive on trading or acquiring starting pitching, they too found success in reaching the postseason, with both Jose Quintana and Yu Darvish/Cole Hamels being key acquisitions in 2017 and 2018 respectively that helped the team make the playoffs. Yet shockingly, the Cubs seemed to abandon this strategy in the following years, trading away Darvish and instead opting for guys like Jake Arrieta, Trevor Williams and Jameson Taillon. Arrieta and Taillon had seen successful seasons in the past, but were basically coming in as projects. Stroman was probably the highest-caliber starter they signed, being a consistent 3.5 WAR guy, but still falling short of the 4+ WAR guys they had acquired in the past.
You might be thinking at this point, "well duh, of course acquiring established top-tier starters is the key to making it to the postseason." Then the question remains, why hasn't Jed done that in five years? I think it's very difficult to look at the two rebuilds between Houston and Chicago and find many things Jed has done well comparatively in that span, compared to Jeff Luhnow and James Click. The Cubs seem to mainly be in cruise control, waiting for the development of a bunch of prospects they have traded for over the years. I think 2025 is a defining year for Jed given that his contract is expiring, and he has to make some type of moves this offseason that are going to decide his fate with the team.
Based on this analysis, it would seem that the Cubs should be ready to acquire Corbin Burnes at all costs, presuming Gerrit Cole returns to the Yankees. It’s time for the front office to look back at what actually went right in their contending years and develop a team that will push for the postseason at the outset of the year, not another run it back and cross your fingers type of year. This team has pissed away time for far too long to be at the bottom of the standings again, and the following few months will be critical to defining who this team is for the foreseeable future.

So Jorge Lopez can try his hand at a redemption tour and Roberts returns to the Bigs. Thompson to IL with rib fracture and Vinny DFA the day after he is signed.
My post, you guys will remember the game:
“Anyone just checking the box score for tonight's Cub game will think it was a pretty standard game. The crazy highlights:
Cubs were no hit for nearly nine innings, the 6th-15th.
Cubs used three different relief pitchers...in left field.
Maddon juggled two pitchers in the 15th, moving them from the mound to left and back again.
Baez grand slam in the 15th put them up 7-2.
Awesome game.”

I’m going to my first game at American Family Field and taking my nephew for his birthday. Didn’t want to post in a Brewers thread as I know us Cubs fans love to head up to Wrigley North. I was curious if any of you guys knew what time gates open on Saturdays. We’re trying to be there as early as possible to explore the ballpark a little. I’m just confused on what I’m finding online. Some things are showing 90 minutes prior to first pitch, some say 2 hours, and thought I even saw something say 3 hours prior. Also if you guys have any suggestions, please provide some! We are sitting in right field 6th row. Thanks!
Please use this thread for any questions, non-Chicago Cubs content, or anything else that might not warrant a new post.
Be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes!
I just tuned into today's game and remembered that in the 80s-90s Cubs fans would tell me the Giants were their rivals. Has that held up? I know geographically St Louis is one, but who else do you guys love to hate? Who's the primary rival these days?
