, when healthy, proved himself as a closer. A new pipeline of young pitching is up and running. The farm system has been reloaded.But when a team crashes like this, it leaves the manager open to more criticism. Even if these coin-flip decisions involve a degree of luck, the manager is paid to get it right. That’s why Craig Counsell will be an in-demand free agent after the playoffs if the Brewers don’t sign him to a new contract.
Ross didn’t have any formal coaching or management experience when Epstein and Hoyer hired him to replace Joe Maddon after the 2019 season. The front office and the manager will never completely agree on every personnel move and in-game decision. This particular roster was set up in a way that the manager would be second-guessed. The next steps for the Cubs in this rebuild might be the hardest.
“We didn’t win enough ballgames,” Ross said. “We can point fingers and blame, but I don’t think that’s it. We got to look inward and see where we need to improve. It’s on each one of us to grow this year. It doesn’t feel like it right now, but there’s a lot to be proud of from a lot of different guys. We also got to get better in so many areas.”Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs. Try a week on us.
