Yeah, during the pregame...
...Lou described the Cubs as a “pitching-oriented” team. Well, when the pitching fails to the degree it did today, a win is unlikely. (Not that I’m, ahem, giving up or anything.)

Actually, Jason has pitched some of his best games
when the Cubs needed him the most?
Remember the 2-hitter against Pittsburgh when the bullpen had been taxed? And the Giants game in SF that he lost 2-1? And the Giants don’t exactly have the scariest lineup in the world.
Of course, those other starts were on regular rest…

Had to leave before
it was over and got back just in time for the loss. We’ll get em tomorrow but Marquis scares the hell out of me.
Lou just saying they can’t stay with 13 pitchers. He wants to give his outfield a break. After the break they will make changes.
by sue369 on Jul 10, 2008 4:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I still think Marquis is getting traded. Just a hunch.
He could be odd man out of the rotation and he made it clear to Lou in spring training that he doesn’t like the idea of being a bullpen guy.

to make a trade you need a partner
who you thinks taking him?
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jul 10, 2008 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
we will clearly pick up some (half?)
of his contract, but something will happen, especially if a team in the race gets an injury in the next 3 weeks. Who needs a starting arm?

the biggest problem is one of his biggest pluses is
his hitting/base running and you lose that if he goes to the AL.

Yeah, it's gonna be a tall order getting another team to pick up his contract.
I honestly don’t know what’s going to become of Marquis.

Probably the same thing that happened last year.
Plays until he is left off the playoff roster.

On the bright side:

Actually...
can you parse this out for me? How do scout teams work in relation to minor leagues? This sounds pre-minor, obviously. So you get signed to a scout team in hopes of making it the minors? Forgive my ignorance…
We never give up -- Aramis Ramirez
by Emelie on Jul 10, 2008 7:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Nope, when scouts sign you, you're a pro.
Scout teams are essentially high school all-star teams. The Wahoos are made up of high schoolers from Santa Barbara up to Paso Robles, ranging from the class of ‘11 up to ‘08. The Indians scout who runs the team is following these kids and they get to play for the Wahoos so both sides win: The kids get to play more baseball against some good competition (the Foresters are a semi-pro team with collegiate players), and the scouts get to see them up close in game action and coach them. You can imagine why both sides find this arrangement beneficial. The starting pitcher today was a 5’9 lefty whose fastball looked like changeups compared to the rest of the league. He didn’t last long.
In short, scout teams are made up of either high school players or just-graduated players. There is no tryout, the players are selected by the scouts. And they play exhibition teams over the summer so the kids get more experience and the scouts can assess their skills and talents.

Why would high school scouting be a no-no?
Since A-Rod, our own Kerry Wood, and so many others were drafted out of high school, what do you mean?

Not sure what "a little bit of knowledge" is supposed to mean there,
but that’s bringing up a different issue tangent to this. The scout team exists for scouts to evaluate; whether or not drafting high school players is “bad” is a totally different discussion unrelated to an explanation of what scout teams are. Approach varies by organization. Obviously, the Cleveland Indians do not share an anti-HS philosophy. The Cubs took Josh Vitters out of HS, btw, just to name one.

Here's
the only article about the team I could find. Vince Sagisi, the scout mentioned in the article, is the one I talked to before the game. (He was also tossed for arguing balls and strikes.)
And for anyone unfamiliar, Lompoc is pronounced “LOM-poke”, the lom rhymes with mom.
