They need to make a decision on Bryant, everyday he is on this team his trade value decreases and his contract with the cubs goes up.

Kris Bryant has said multiple times that he prefers the ball coming right at him and that only happens in center. He said this for every year under Maddon but maddon never listened.

He can control his walks. Guy could be a stud. He allows super weak contact. Its why the Cubs are going to give him every opportunity. He has wipe out stuff

So they talk about Bryzzo, going 0-4 combined, but they walked twice, and mention Albert Almora when he goes 4-4 with a home run this spring.
This is the frustration in a nutshell, Bryzzo just needs to take walks so the secondary guys need to be super stars.

It is called Spring "Training" Not Spring "Competition"
Some guys are locks and need to work on little things to get into every day playing condition. Others have to prove that they deserve more playing time.
Your case in point:
Almora: 2019 S/T: .377/.389/.604
Reg season: .236/.271/.381
Now he has changed his swing mechanic last off season so he will be very interesting to see how it plays out over the season.
But this is a case in point of why some are just getting their reps in and others have something to prove.
But in general most coaches are not looking at results. They look at timing and mechanics. Velocity. Swing paths. Baserunning. Fielding. and so on. We as fans are only looking at the numbers first and create a value system based off of it.

exactly my point. Why isnt it spring competition. That is what Theo demanded last year when he told Maddening to get off his ass and go on the field and communicate with these guys, get back to coaching. After Council showed that every game means something, Theo wanted competition right out of the gate last year. Got the same hippie shit. You compete in spring training, you are starting off in the killer attitude frame of mind. Please dont give me the shit about early games do not matter. One game mattered in 2018, Theo demanded 2019 be different and got the same shit.
I know, top of the order are your stars to get a couple at bats, run around a little, and put the flip flops on. But anyone not named Bryzzo walks, no big deal, but for christs sake, it spring training, you should be hitting the ball.

How long has Maddon been gone now? 4 months or so? The Idiot is still beating that dead horse. A move to an Angels board seems to be in order. But then if he did, we would all miss his inside info on what everyone says to each other in the Cub organization....he is the proverbial "fly on the wall".

He likes to give detailed info on old situations as if it is fact when it is usually conjecture conjured up in his little pea brain. Probably thoughts that were bouncing around for months/years that he finally pieced into some somewhat coherent, misinformed thoughtHow long has Maddon been gone now? 4 months or so?

yeah, my rants are as common, he's stupid posts instead of actually having a conversation over a point. Maybe thats why they keep coming up since nobody wants to do any forum thing over it than be keyboard bullies.
Maybe that would get me to stop?

Now you’re talking to yourself?! Probably should take a step back, take a deep breath, and re evaluate
