alright...it's time for the cubs new pitcher...a guy that makes k.hendricks look like a fireballer. hope this rental works out even if it doesn't matter from a talent-lost perspective whether he does work out.

Paging Clayton Richard! Clayton Richard please report IMMEDIATELY to the pitcher's mound!

Bryant really looks lost at the plate right now. Even against a lefty tonight can't seem to get a good hack. He's not getting the calls (called strike, three inches inside) but when he does take a cut he's just waving at the ball.

Yep. Early in the year, teams pitched around him. Now, they go right after him, knowing he will likely swing and miss, eve fastballs over the plate. I know he's a rookie, and his OBP and WAR aren't bad for a rookie, but, given all the fuss over him and his service time, I'd have to say he's been a disappointment so far.

His buddy Joey Gallo is hitting about a buck eighty for Round Rock right now. Len and JD said last night the league has adjusted to Bryant. No, they're doing what you just said... throwing to him. The one adjusting is Bryant, and he's just missing the ball. I personally think it is just what happens when a player is in a slump. Not seeing the ball well is their most common complaint when things are going sour. He doesn't have the tremendous bat speed of Schwarber, Baez, or Soler, but it's still a good swing, and he WAS hitting most of the stuff he's missing now. I think when Olt comes up he'll get an occasional day off, and that will help some. The other thing is, not all these prospects are gonna pan out. Hype means nothing once you get to the majors. And the Cubs are still stocked in the minors. Candelario is smoking the ball right now, and something is gonna need to be done about Wilson Contreras, the catcher in Tennessee. And there's still the Cult of Olt to be possibly be reckoned with (old habits die hard). And of course, Baez. A nice little puzzle for the Theo and Company.

I wonder if they will work with him to try to flatten out his severe uppercut in the offseason. Since his swing plane is so different than the plane the pitch is on, making contact is difficult. I honestly think the Bryant myth began to deflate at the HR Derby -- all the announcers were so excited to see him hit, and he fell pretty flat. He has been really struggling since then. I still think he will be good, and possibly very good -- would love for him to go on a hot streak!

Not to be pedantic, but lefty starters don't see too many lefty hitters. They specialize in getting righties out, usually with great changeups that bend away from righties. That pitch doesn't bother Schwarber or Rizzo. It's lefty relievers with the curves and slurves that bother lefty hitters in the late innings. Schwarber has such a great eye (like Rizzo) that nobody is going to give him too much trouble. What a tandem. Imagine facing a team with two Vottoes. I could get used to this.

Jason Motte has been bad ever since Maddon said he has been FABULOUS. Hmmm. The Cardinals, Pirates and Giants have been Fabulous.

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 08/05/2015 - 08:05 pm

Boy, Haren was scary tonight. The defense screwed him over and cost him 2 runs, but there were a ton of rockets that were caught. Keep Clayton Richard's cell number handy.

The Cubs have the next 17 games I think In Chicago almost unheard of I guess I would take a 11-6 record.

    The Cards also traded for both Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. It's the developing part that has fallen off. Of course, it could also be the case that there are no more Matt Carpenters left to pull out of the hat.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!
