    Yeah. Basically, throw quality strikes, force hitters to swing at your pitches aka pitchers pitches, don't blow up your PC trying to get Ks. It's basic horsefeathers. The coaches, scouts, and the FO know what kind of stuff the pitchers have, whether it's swing and miss stuff, or more geared toward inducing weak contact with deception or something other. They want to see these pitchers locate and master their command and not worry so much about personal results. They are probably totally thrilled with Hudson and his ability to keep the ball in the infield, even if it means he doesn't miss many bats. Seeing Oscar throw 10 pitches/inning over 7 frames was exciting I'm sure.

    Cardinals led the Red Sox 4-0 after 7. The game is now tied.

    So we're legit running with this? The still likely highly misconstrued, and definitely misquoted, quote came from the bench coach. Ks + no HRs are a combo that can carry, and at least hint that the High A assignment is not the issue. Yes, there's things he is not doing, join the club, but what he is doing well are quality skills to have. The quote said it was the pitching coach.

    Without even looking I'm sure there was a Coghlan/Sweeney/Lake monstrosity somewhere in the 2014 season. True, those days are a haze for me. I pretty much meant, before we became good. But anyway, as much as I am hoping Al gets playing time, and believe in his talent, he is simply an auto-out vs RHP at this point in his career. And last year was a total outlier in him reversing his splits. I don't put much stock in that happening again anytime soon. He has much work to do in that respect.

    Good horsefeathers. The reports on Brooks' stuff have been pretty glowing. Maples' turn will come soon after.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Jake, I just don't want you to do some crazy horsefeathers I saw highlights of your start a week ago and it made me sick
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Not sure where to put this but somebody mentioned on Cubs Den that Maples' curve is clocking more than 3000 rpm and the announcer mentioned they expect him to be promoted soon.

    https://www.milb.com/milb/news/chicago-cubs-prospect-oscar-de-la-cruz-hurls-first-complete-game-shutout/c-230313526/t-185364810 Cruz got seven 1-pitch AB, and eight 2-pitch AB. Coach also talks about they want to pitch to contact at Myrtle. "That's something we've been talking about, instead of strikeouts, pitch for contact," Myrtle Beach pitching coach Anderson Tavares said. "If you get into situations where you have to strike guys out, use your breaking ball, use your changeup or elevate and change eye levels. We just talk about pitching for contact and he did it tonight. It was a great outing for him."
