Submitted by Arizona Phil on

A. J. Kirby-Jones smashed a grand slam home run to power the A’s Split Squad #1 to a 6-0 whitewashing of the Cubs in AZ Instructional League action at Papago Park Baseball Complex Field #3 in Phoenix this morning.

Josh Vitters got his second start in three days for the Cubs, playing 3B for seven innings and getting three plate appearances along the way. He grounded a single sharply between the shortstop and third-baseman in his first AB in the 2nd inning, was called out on strikes on a 1-2 pitch with two out and runners at 1st & 3rd in the 4th, and bounced out 5-3 his third time up in the 8th. He handled no chances defensively.

Next Sunday, Oct 10th...Simpsons Episode: MoneyBart Synopsis: Lisa coaches Bart's Little League team to beef up her extracurricular-activities resumé, but her academic approach to the game takes some of the fun out of it for Bart. Baseball great Mike Scioscia and statistician Bill James have voice cameos.

Len Casper (on his blog) hopes Quade gets the Cubs managerial job: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/len-and-bob/
Hard to believe, it's our final 2010 regular season blog post today. I guess I will leave you with this--what ended up being a disappointing year at least ended on a positive note. This thing could have really gotten away from Mike Quade, who took over a club in August appeared to be heading down a 100-loss path. But they got it back together rather quickly and while the Cubs' fate had already been sealed, they finished as strong as you could have hoped for. It all starts with the pitching and the Cubs' staff has been lights-out, particularly a bullpen that got off to such a bad start.
I've said this a lot, but I will repeat it one more time--Mike Quade has done everything to earn a return as the permanent skipper. I hope he gets it. I don't make these decisions, but I think the Cubs are going to have a very difficult time finding another candidate who fits the job better than Q has. Len

It's the usual manager-veteran quid pro quo. Quade is trying to win games, first, and endorsements second. Veterans like Hill are much more talkative. Per Sullivan in the Trib:
"I don't think it's a secret that everyone in the clubhouse, speaking on behalf of the rest of the team, we'd really like to see Quade get the job," catcher Koyie Hill said. "He's been through it all, like we have. He related to everybody. I've never seen a manager or a coach get everything out of every single player, he brought it out of everybody. … It'll play out, but we're pulling for him."
Note that Hill is "speaking on behalf of the rest of the team." Quade picked the right veteran to give playing time to.

Braves beat Phils 8-7... so if Padres lose, SF wins division, Braves are Wildcard BUT if Padres win (today's game is in SF), it's a 3 way tie (all with 91 wins). Play-in game between SD and SF, in SD Monday and the loser goes to Atlanta for the wild card deciding game tuesday. The wild card winner then goes to Philly Wednesday for the NLDS game 1. If the Padres or Giants wind up winning the wild card, they would have played 4 games in 4 days in 4 cities.

    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!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
