Cubs did the same shit to Rick Renteria when Joe Maddon became available - let's hope the outcomes are similar.
I think it was a unique opportunity. The best manager in baseball was a free agent and lives 90 minutes away…. This was about Counsell and not really much about Ross at allThe Craig Counsell hire was a surprise.
I guess losing 15 of 22 to end the season has consequences, especially when it costs the post season. It serves as a memo to the players about management expectations
i do.Agree. And Ross deserves credit for the amazing performance from mid July to early September. However, do you think the Cubs make the same move if they made the playoffs? Maybe so.
As soon as I posted this, the reliever gave up a bomb and an infield single.Looking good in the opener against the champs.
