Subbing Motter in for Gorman killed a rally today. Under what metrics does putting a career minor leaguer who’s batting .211 in for a guy who could have made it a 2 run game makes sense? And of course he gave us 2 lame short pop ups. **** Ollie!

He needs to go out there, loudly and publicly, and take every single ounce of blame for this record. He has GOT to fall on the grenade here and do something to try to earn this clubhouse back. Because right now his team sees a guy who's spent the last 18 months pointing fingers at everyone else. This is coaching - hell basic leadership - 101. When things are going wrong, it's "I" and when things go well it's "We". And Ollie simply NEVER gets that right. His club knows it. And a public mea culpa (that's not really intended for public consumption as much as for the clubhouse) is the only thing that might save his season. Or he could keep losing and lob a couple of skunks into Mozeliak's suite on his way out the door. That would be fun as well. |

He’s still coming off as arrogant. No coach survives this approach. If he’s not going to do it soon, just keep being arrogant and maybe he’ll take Mo down with him. |

This is exactly what he should do but he won't. He's aware that he's currently interviewing to be somebody's bench coach next season. He's trying to put a ton of good will out there to every front office by proving he's a company man. |

He's the worst possible combination of arrogant and incompetent. He totally managed his way out of a win last night but he doesn't see it that way. He won't accept responsibility because he doesn't feel responsible.

Just canceled my plans to see them in Wrigley on Monday. Planning to just see them on Tuesday and Wednesday instead. Free tickets so why not. My Cubs friends are absolutely loving the demise of the Cardinal Way.
