Maddon isn't going, obviously. So this thread is probably dead. But I do wonder if some Cubs might not benefit from a different culture. This is the only one most of the younger ones have ever experienced.
I've mentioned this before, but sometimes change-for-change sake is good?
Sometimes having a new voice is good?
Is it possible that the Cubs players have a culture of "we're so cool; we're so good; we're so fun; we're too cool to stress about losing; we're too cool to work too hard; staying cool is better than practicing too much..."?
Then Theo talks about lacking urgency and intensity.
That's kind of where I disagree with some about Girardi not being a good culture change. It might be time for us to swap out of pajama parties on the plane and stuff like that and have someone who's not as carefree about things.
But we're obviously not making a change, so moot point. It's not like changing managers would make that much of a difference anyway.
