I will always love Kyle Schwarber. P.S. Jed Hoyer sucks. P.P.S. Unless he brings Schwarber back to the Cubs for 2026, then I will forgive him.

Cubs can’t manage to put together a competent batting order…🤦♂️. …meanwhile Schwarber continues to make Jed Hoyer look like a complete moron.
Cubs lineup changes that need to happen now:. Matt Shaw - Up in the order.Carson Kelly - Down in the order.Nico Hoerner - Leadoff everyday.Michael Busch - Middle of the order.

The evidence is mounting that Craig Counsell is actually quite horrible at decision-making. It just keeps piling on with every passing day.
One of the many questions that should be asked regarding today’s game- why are Justin Turner and Carson Kelly hitting this high in the lineup??? And why is Matt Shaw so low.
