Jaramillo canned

[gocubs2118]

The Rangers sure don't miss him.

[UMFan83]

I was actually wondering about Jaramillo about a month ago. He was a holdover to begin with, and with the wholesale underachievement of the offense, he seemed like a likely(if not justified) scapegoat. Never did have his reclamation project or two like he did in Texas.

 

I remember hearing somewhere that he had done a lot of work with Soriano this year and supposedly his great play in May was a result of it.

[Magnetic Curses]

If his work with any specific hitter is feeding into this, I'd guess they don't like the regression in Castro's approach.

 

i was about to say the same exact thing. castro hasn't really developed at all and now seems to be regressing.

There was a basic philosophical split between Jaramillo and new Cubs' regime; they don't believe in same things. This change was inevitable.

@CodyWorsham Jaramillo believes in attacking pitches you like. New regime believes in cornering P with the count and getting a good pitch.

I think that's due to the lighter bat. I'm sure Soriano believes it was Rudy, though.

note to selves: don't hire hitting coaches from the rangers or rockies anymore.

 

i agree with tim, bring back gerald perry. our 2008 approach was excellent.

[Brian]

Lester Strode better be next!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I guess I better note that I'm not serious)

Gerald Perry, Von Joshua and now Rudy.....

 

Killing careers one hitting coach at a time!

 

\:D/

[PrimeTime]

Weeding out the old regime one at a time!

[Cubswin11]

Sveum used to be a hitting coach, too. So maybe he and Jaramillo were going at it over differeing philosophies and it was Theo's/Jed's/Rickett's way of throwing him a bone for what certainly hasn't been a fun season for him so far and removing one headache he had to deal with daily.

This is the interim guy...

Something that I have been clamoring loudly since 2006, probably even before that. Go Theo!

[jersey cubs fan]

Theo points out #Cubs OBP has gone down 5 consecutive years. "Not acceptable."

[Bote McBoteface]

Any word on whether that has anything to do with our talent level going down for each of the past 5 years?

@BruceMiles2112

 

Theo cites philosophy in Jaramillo firing but says #Cubs won't go cookie cutter with hitters

 

what?

My interpretation is preemptive response to people talking about players not being robots or programmable computers.

I thought it meant that the Cubs want more patience preached, but that doesn't mean they're only going to acquire Youkilis types.

Larry Johnson.

same thing i thought

[champaignchris]

If they wanted a scapegoat, couldn't they have burned Koyie Hill at the stake or something?

 

I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive.

[Elrhino]

I wonder if the timing isn't related to some sort of overall seachange/shakeup the next two weeks. Draft -> Soler signing -> old guard coaching staff changes -> Rizzo call up -> Dempster trade all before the All Star break?

They've been quoted on multiple occasions recently that transactions will start to take place after the draft was completed.
