The only way Joe is back is after another WS win. There’s no way Theo could fire him after that.

So... yeah, Joe’s gone after this season.

Either way, Theo doesn't have to fire him. Maddon's contract is up. Maddon would be free to start negotiating with any other team.

Sorry, there’s no way Theo could not “re-sign” him after a WS win. That’s the only way he’s coming back.

My point was more that Joe will have his choice too. He could simply decide to walk away after the party.

Holy sh*t Zach Zaidman is bad. This is goddamn torture trying to listen to the game at work.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Play of the year right there. Lmao

 

[SoDakHawk]

Is this Little League day at Wrigley? These guys are playing like a fricking joke.

The players obviously do not care they are in a playoff chase, so why should I?

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

Someone stick a fork in Lester

 

[mstp1992]

Lester’s given up.

Get his sorry ass out of there.

I’ve been saying this. The Cubs don’t care.

 

[dgordo]

lester isnt good enough anymore to overcome 2 errors in an inning, most pitchers cant.

 

[MuscoHawk]

Coomer says Lester got squeezed on a couple pitches.

He just unravels when umps make bad calls.

You forgot to mention the 2 walks, triple, double, and two singles

Amazing that these plays keep happening. I guess that the 3-2 pitch was close enough for Contreras to think it might be a strike out and throw out, but just awful fundamentals for the Cubs to throw it around like that. Sadly, this type of play is not an outlier for this team.

 

[SoDakHawk]

This one is going to be a wild one.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

This might be a 20-19 day

 

[MuscoHawk]

Ok, this game is cray.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

This is unreal

 

[SoDakHawk]

Annnnddddddd just like that up 5-4.

 

[dgordo]

NICO

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

The umps may require that the teams stop at second base to chug a beer to slow this game down a touch.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

Get Chapman up for the 8 inning save

 

[dgordo]

get lester out now while the cubs have the lead

[SoDakHawk]

You're outta here!

 

[SoDakHawk]

F that. I hate replay. He's out. Inconclusive. Call stands.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Rookie hazing ... Keller is from CR.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[SoDakHawk]

Rizzo!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Rizzo seems excited ...

Is he calling the game like he is whispering you a secret? He is not overly good, you are right about that.

 

[lucas80]

See. Put Rizzo in the leadoff spot every game. Instant offense.

 

[MitchLL]

See... the AL doesn't have a patent on shitty baseball teams!

God, the Pirates suck!

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

I'm assuming you Cubbies be pulling for the Cardinals tonight to keep your wild card hopes alive...

 

[mstp1992]

And Lester and Contreras are trying to blow the game.

 

[dgordo]

It’s a good thing Contreras can hit.
