🚨 CAN THE CUBS TRUST CRAIG COUNSELL?

In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, Mike dives into two of the biggest questions facing the Cubs as the season rolls on. First, Mike examines whether Craig Counsell's questionable decisions are hurting the Cubs more than helping them. From lineup shuffling and bullpen management to questionable in-game strategy and matchup decisions, fans have increasingly questioned whether the highest-paid manager in baseball is getting the most out of this talented roster. Then, Mike turns his attention to Alex Bregman, whose disappointing offensive production has become a growing concern for Cubs fans. After arriving with massive expectations, Bregman has struggled to consistently deliver in key situations, leaving many wondering if he's become one of the biggest disappointments of the season. ⚾ Is Craig Counsell overmanaging games? ⚾ Have his decisions cost the Cubs wins? ⚾ Should the Cubs continue trusting Counsell's process? ⚾ Has Alex Bregman lived up to expectations? ⚾ Should Bregman be moved down in the lineup? ⚾ Are the Cubs getting enough production from one of their biggest offseason additions? ⚾ What needs to change for this team to reach its championship goals? Mike breaks down the numbers, the decisions, and the growing frustration surrounding two of the most talked-about figures in the Cubs organization. 🔥 Cubs fans, we want to hear from you!
