Asinine to Blame Craig Counsell for Bullpen Collapse

I get it, blaming the manager is the easy thing to do and honestly before Craig Counsell spoke following Sunday’s bullpen collapse he should have been flamed for that eighth inning. However, at the end of the day the Cubs had a four-run lead with six outs to get and there’s no other way to break this down other than those relievers simply had to do a better job. No excuse to implode the way they did.

The Cubs had a 6-2 lead after Kyle Tucker launched a three-run bomb in the top half of the eighth.
