Eye-o-pocee. Some obvious things to like but I don’t know him RT
@acctgteach: @ESPNChiCubs how do you pronounce his name and what
are your thoughts on the hire?

I believe it's "anyone but Davis".

I won't pretend I've followed them closely, and I know they
haven't been putting the '27 Yankees out there, but Texas'
offense has gotten worse every year for the past 3 years. FWIW.

What do new hitting coach Anthony Iapoce, manager Joe Maddon,
pitching coach Jim Hickey, third base coach Brian Butterfield,
bench coach Brandon Hyde, and catching coach Mike Borzello have
in common?
None played in the major leagues.
That has to be some sort of record.

I thought you were going for "all will likely be gone after the
'19 season".

No, but it might mean first base coach Will Venable's job is in
jeopardy.

I'll hope we can win 95+ again next season and get in the
playoff hunt once again!
Thereafter, it will remain a crapshoot of sorts. ALL the
teams/players are good!
Just like this year, one seldom knows in January, or even May,
who will be the top MLB performers in October.
Imagine if our free agent signings last off-season would have
been Brewers' pitchers Miley and Chacin rather than Darvish and
Chatwood??
Who knew?
When it comes to MLB, hindsight truly is 20/20...SO
unpredictable this time of year!
