Agreed, I'm sure Joe will have a talk with his clubhouse leaders. On any team, the players holding each other accountable is much better than the coach/manager. When you feel like you've let your teammates down its much more effective than if you feel like you only let the boss down. Not...

UPDATE: Not signing Jake long term looks pretty good right now since he has bone spurs in the elbow :) I understand the manager point, but these are professionals with guys like Rizzo and Lester in the clubhouse. IMHO, they aren't going to play or not play hard based on who the manager is...

Man we are sucking right now. Limping in to the All Star Break. It can't get here soon enough, take a couple days off and hopefully reset things. I wonder how much we miss Zo in the clubhouse, some extra leadership.

Can't wait for Kimbrel to get up to the big team, hoping he pans out. Anyone heard anything on Morrow? Man that would be a huge boost if he could help out as well. Going to be a tough grind all year in the division. We need to try and go close to .500 vs Colorado and LA and then our schedule...

About all he can say really. He wouldn't ever share his true thoughts with public if he thought otherwise anyway.

Been quiet on this thread... don't tell me you all are becoming Braves fans and becoming complacent with winning? :) Cubs continue to roll!

I think he's been average to below average in game coach. Managing rotations, calling timeouts etc. I am tired of the childish antics and temper and the way he treats certain people. I think it is fair to say his recruiting overall hasn't been horrible, its been average or about where you...

Man I hope JT is the real deal. We are putting a lot of eggs in his basket it would seem to be the player we have lacked for a long time. Hard to place that on a freshmen though.

Cubs are playing some great ball! Carantini comes back soon, that will be a good thing as Joe has been pretty reluctant to rest Wilson lately and I want him fresh all year. Our biggest need is still a closer or bullpen help. I look for us to make a move this summer and some combo of...

Agree, perhaps close but what we really need is a penetrator still. Hope CJ surprises me but definitely in a a wait and see mode.

Perhaps the best thing about Heller's teams is they tend to peak and be playing their best at the right time. I'd say better than any other program we have at the U right now.

A sincere question for all those who have been mentioning CJ as someone taking minutes possibly. Has anyone seen this kid play against college competition? I guess I have my expectations low, expecting maybe another Oglesby but if he is a stud would be really really excited. I'm just not sure...

Thanks, I'd imagine winning 2 of 3 in series here on out would make us pretty tough to leave out. Especially winning a few games in the BIG tourney ? As Rob mentioned, that UC Irvine Series is a great opportunity

9 of last 12 in the BIG, Hawks playing well. Need to do some damage in the BIG tourney to make the tourney you think Rob?

Good sweep of the Marlins, took care of a weak team like we need to in a tough division. Our run differential is actually very good, one of the best and better than the Brewers. Just need to get the Bullpen throwing well consistently and we'll be ok. The Brewers don't exactly have great...

Time to get after it this weekend Hawks!

Pretty ugly last night. It's early, so not panicking...but...we better pick it up soon or the Brewers will get out to such a big lead they'll be hard to catch.

Cardinals looking strong with the Goldschmidt addition. Also several stud arms in the pen

Yeah, I think the most puzzling thing to me is the 1st half of both games how little urgency we seemed to play with. 2nd have we played with a tenacity we haven't seen often. How or why do we not come out like that for the 40 min? Just puzzling. Either lack of leadership on the player end...

Can you say.... TIME FOR A CONTRACT EXTENSION ! Isn't that the going rate for a tourney win these days? :D
