This time a month ago, we(briefly) had the best record in all of baseball and looked like a legit World Series contender. Now, I'n reading articles wondering if that seat is getting a lil toasty for Counsell. Crazy the difference a month can make.

I like Counsell, but when we kicked David Ross to the curb for him, I wasn't really sold on the idea that he was THAT much better than Ross that we basically yeet a beloved member of the World Series team to get him. Yes, Counsell has only been The manager for 2 1/3 seasons, but I remember when he was hired, so many people were saying how the Cubs were instant World Series contenders for the next decade just by dint of him being the manager.

If this collapse continues, I'm gonna start thinking the Brewers sent him here to sabotage us lol. Not really, but the results compared to the expectations set when he was hired have been mid at best...

That the Brewers rocket ship has kept on accelerating upwards without him makes the Counsell hiring look that much worse.

Did PCA not even chase the ball he lost in the fog just now? We got some club house contagion going on. I had to turn the game off. My Jose Cardinal poster is even shedding tears.
