Finally. What took so long? Let him get his mechanics in order.

Cubs are sending Kyle Schwarber to Class AAA Iowa. Not expected to be gone long but it is an opportunity to clear his head.

This is about 80% on Maddon, and 20% on Kyle.

I wonder what the corresponding move is? And yes, he needs to fucking get some hits, not just launch HRs and bat .175. And stop pulling everything.

Well to be fair Rick questioned his power ( wrongly) not whether he could hit at all :lol:

He'll be back in a week. There are considerations outside of baseball regarding Schwarber.

Any Sox fan declaring "victory" in his demise is like the British gloating that they burned down the White House. Wars already over, we lost.

That is why all other teams had him being drafted at the bottom on the first round. Luckily Theo was able to sign him under slot so that they could spend the money on other great prospects

Please enlighten us. How is Joe responsible for Kyle's awful approach at the plate? I'll hang up and listen.

I doubt I'm the only one who thinks Joe's insistence on playing Kyle at lead off affected his mental approach. Just my opinion. No way to quantify it without Schwarber going rogue and blaming Maddon.

Schwarber could never see the bigs again, and he was still a great pick.

I'm not interested in placing blame anywhere or on anyone. Schwarber should have been sent down earlier though without a doubt. That said..I heard Maddon in the pre-season when talking about Schwarber as lead off....He indicated he always gets stats and info from the front office, and that there was encouragement from the front office to put Schwarber at lead-off. So...it may not have been all Maddon's idea. Again...the move was obviously wrong, and the Cubs & Maddon played it out too long without making the obvious change. I get what you are indicating on Maddon...I just remember what Maddon was saying about getting info and encouragement to place Schwarber there.

Go Cubs!
