Chicago Cubs: Who’s to blame for the subpar first half?

The way the season started for the Chicago Cubs, you would think we’d be happy to be in first place in the Central. And if you didn’t know the whole story, you would be. But the Cubs have underachieved much of the season, and hold just a half-game lead over the Brewers coming out of the All-Star break. On Cubs social media, a lot of fingers are being pointed, and rightfully so. But is there truly a party to blame for the lackluster play? Depends on who you are.

There are many on Cubs’ Twitter that has taken to blaming Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer.
