The Mike Quade Era Begins: Cubs vs. Nationals Preview, Monday 8/23, 6:05 CT

PrintIt's not likely this era is going to last more than 37 games, although bigger surprises than the idea that Mike Quade will be named Cubs manager in 2011 have happened. In any case, Quade gets the chance to show the organization what he can do over the season's final six weeks.
He's staring these numbers in the face: 17 and 19.
What are those?
They're the Cubs' mathematical elimination numbers. 17 for the NL Central, 19 for the Wild Card.
One thing Quade will not do -- at least for tonight -- that had been promised by Lou Piniella, is give Tyler Colvin some playing time at first base. Here is tonight's lineup via CubsInsider:
#Cubs lineup @ #Nationals (8/23): DeWitt 2B, Castro SS, Byrd CF, Ramirez 3B, Nady 1B, Colvin RF, Soriano LF, Soto C, Coleman P
I don't get it. Geovany Soto has been reactivated and Welington Castillo returned to Iowa; also, the Cubs sent Sam Fuld to Iowa and recalled Micah Hoffpauir. But why not Colvin at 1B and Kosuke Fukudome in RF? There's the first question Quade's likely to be asked. DeWitt leading off -- also an interesting choice. Meanwhile, the Nats will line up this way:
#Nationals lineup vs. #Cubs - Morgan 8, Kennedy 4, Zim 5, Dunn 3, Bernie 7, Pudge 2, Harris 9, Gonzalez 6, Hernandez 1
I received an email from Ted Youngling at the Nats Blog asking me to answer a few questions about the Cubs (and one about Stephen Strasburg) in advance of this series. Here are the questions and answers. With all the breaking news regarding the Cubs manager's position the last couple of days, I didn't have time to send Ted any similar questions about the Nats.
I'm guessing yours would have started with the name "Adam Dunn".

The Cubs' longest winning streak of the year is four games. I mention this because it was snapped by Livan Hernandez the last time he faced the Cubs, at Wrigley Field on April 27. Hernandez just kills the Cubs and has for years. In 21 career starts vs. the Cubs, he is 11-6 with a 3.84 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, both significantly better than his career averages. On August 11, 2001, when he was with the Giants, he went 4-for-4 against the Cubs with a home run and three RBI; he's a .222 lifetime hitter with nine career HR. Only Aramis Ramirez has hit him well: 12-for-32 (.375) with three doubles and four HR.
Casey Coleman is making his second major league start; obviously, he has never faced the Nationals. Small sample size: Coleman has a 10.24 ERA in 9.2 innings at Wrigley Field, an 0.00 ERA in 3 innings on the road. But, he has a 5.40 ERA in 8.1 day-game innings and a 12.46 ERA in 4.1 night-game innings. In short, who the heck knows?
Today's game is on CSN Chicago and MASN. Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.

Good luck today Mike! Get it done!
But still, no Colvin at 1st? I was really looking forward to watching him play the corner.

Again, bear in mind that Colvin hasn't played first since the spring of '06 at Clemson.
No spring training drills, nothing but about a week of taking ground balls to get ready for this move. You don’t want to send the guy out there to fail in the field. Just a consideration.

I agree, cant he "practice" during the off-season if they're serious about putting him there?

What's the harm in playing him there now?
It’s not like a key error could ruin our playoff chances, nor is Xavier Nady a defensive wizard.
oh I'm not worried about our win/loss anymore, I'm more concerned about his confidence
or just him playing right now, for the first time at 1st base in front of big league fans and players…he is a rookie after all.

If he has a couple errors at first, he'll recover.
Castro had three errors during his first game at Wrigley. He turned out fine.
yeah but that's Castro's position... I hope you're right tho if he ends up at first.

True on all accounts
but with Lou’s promise of giving Ty some playing time at first, i was hoping to see how he would pan out. My instant assumption would be 9 innings of him holding onto dear life a barely passing. I’d still like to see what the kids got

Remember that it was Piniella who said Colvin would play 1B.
The regime has changed. Quade may have different ideas.
But you have to think that Jimbo had some influence in the idea. Or the Men/Woman upstairs.

Or, after all those grounders he took
they realized he sucks at it.
"It was a perfect situation for the Brewers," Hill said. "They had a guy up there at the plate [in Counsell] who takes a lot of pride in what he does and he practices those situations, so when it does come up, he gets the bunt down to the right side of the field. They have the perfect guy on first base [in Gomez], who is one of the fastest guys in the league, and they had one of the worst fundamental teams on the field, so it was a perfect situation for them."

It's a miracle that at age 73, Liván Hernández is still an effective MLB pitcher. Kudos to him!
In all seriousness, the 30 percent chance of winning the books give the Cubs seems much too high.
I think he's really 75. He lied about his age

Colvin at 1b always seemed a little goofy,
to me. He is a very good outfielder, and doesn’t really have the big bat you want at 1B (like Dunn, Fielder, etc.).
Let Quade do his thing, he certainly knows the players’ potential, maybe he will uncover a better plan. Nothing to lose at this point.
"The Cubs are due in sixty-two." - #14
Don't compare Colvin with Dunn.
At this point, compare Colvin with Nady.
Can we get one thing clear?
Dunn is not a first baseman… Dunn is a three-outcomes DH who is playing in the NL whotherefore must be stuck somewhere in the field. He is at first because, theoretically, he will do less damage that way. Jim Thome at this point in his career is still a better 1b than Dunn. Frank Chance, at this point in his career, may be a better 1b than Dunn.
I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
Is Dick Stuart a better 1st baseman than Dunn?

Colvin's not that good an outfielder, really.
He often turns the wrong way on balls, and has dropped many catchable balls. His future in the OF is “competent left fielder”. The 1B thing — why not try it?

I don't get the whole hate towards having him play out the season at first.
It’s not like we’re playing for anything meaningful now anyways.

Exactly!

I just would like to see both Colvin and Fukudome getting regular at bats
Colvin for the future, and for Dome to get hot, in hopes somebody will absord some of that 2011 salary. Why waste at bats on Nady?

101 Years Ago Today:
1909 – It’s a day for thievery as the Cubs steal home three times in a game at Boston, tying a ML mark. They waste no time, as Johnny Evers and Del Howard do it in the first inning, and Solly Hofman in the 2nd. Chicago wins, 11 – 6.

was watching the Dodgers game yesterday
and Vin recounted that in LA history, the team had not just a steal…not just a double steal…but a TRIPLE steal.
Jackie Robinson stole home and everyone else moved up 90 feet.
Of course, the Dodgers lost that day. Sounds Cub-like.

heres the thing with Colvin
people have gotten so used to Lou’s screwy lineups and scrwey starters that you dont want to all of a sudden change things mid-stream – you have to ease into it.
Basically, Colvin is going to have to get used to starting again then they will put him at first while Nady plays RF so that way we can ease back into Dome playing full-time RF…and expect only one instance of a pitcher facing more than one batter tonight until next week when we see two pitchers doing it and so forth and so on…
