Given the numbers the pitchers have produced this year, who would do better than Rothschild? Bad defense in the outfield and poor hitting have plagued the Cubs. Put the blame where it belongs.

While fans are correct to be upset that the Cubs haven't performed to expected levels, firing Rothschild would no doubt make matters worse, not better. Cubs pitching is probably the best part of the team. If fans are looking to place blame on lackluster performance, they should look to outfielders who can field and hitters who don't hit. Also, while coaches can, and should, be held accountable for poor performance by the players, Rothschild isn't one of them. Calls for Rothschild to be booted are ridiculous.
