I know that he is having a very bad year right now but his head was so screwed up now. How would you feel when you were the breath of fresh for what was such a crappy season last year. He had 20 HR's and looked like he was going to be a bright star in the future seasons. But Quade the mini Frankenstein, for some reason or another, decides to bring up Campana and Montanez in front of him. I would be very confused as well. I know he is a professional and gets paid to play and that he should be above all of this, but I would ask all the people who ever played organized sports, "Wouldn't you have a tough time focusing if this happened to you?

Check the career of Jeff Liefer.

He hasn't looked good at the plate since that bat splinter nearly killed him

_________________

Just put him in AAA or even AA if he is that mentally fucked for the rest of the year. Let him relax and get his swing back. High end he is Jay Bruce and Low end he is out of baseball. He reminded me a ton of bruce and bruce is on fire this year after a few years of good power but bad averages.

Jay Bruce? Are you kidding me? Colvin is going to have to work his ASS off to be even a replacement player, let alone Jay fucking Bruce.

How about the next Lenny Bruce I hear Colvin has quite an acerbic wit

If Colvin got drafted by the reds and Bruce by the Cubs bruce would be in iowa and colvin would be a big league all star.

You should read up on what type of "prospects" both were considered to be prior to their major league careers.

Well Dusty is known for his ability to develop young talent

yeah, i was going to point out that getting impaled very likely has something to do with this... it "puts things in perspective", i'd imagine.

i agree with everything u say, except that right after Colvin was sent down, the Cubs had a bunch of injuries

my thinking is that they were not allowed to bring Colvin back up until 10 days after he was sent down...so thats why u saw a bunch of other guys coming up...it wasnt more than 2 weeks that Colvin was brought back up...I believe Colvin would have been the first choice to be brought up if it wasnt for that rule

Iowa’s Colvin a Cool Customer
Tyler Colvin has every right to play the bad-luck card.

The 25-year-old Iowa Cubs outfielder certainly hasn’t caught many good breaks in the last nine months.

Take Friday night, for example. Colvin smacked a double, a triple and a home run in his first three at-bats at Isotopes Park. In the ninth inning he added a well-struck one-hopper that deflected off the glove of Albuquerque first baseman Jerry Sands into shallow right field.

Initially ruled a single, the hit gave Colvin the first cycle ever completed by an Isotopes opponent. But after postgame video review, the game’s official scorer changed Colvin’s single to an error on Sands.

Some players and officials inside the I-Cubs clubhouse were upset about the scoring change.

Not Colvin.

“I thought it was an error all the way,” said Colvin who went 1 for 4 with a double in Iowa’s 8-5 victory Sunday night at the Lab. “I definitely would’ve taken it. You never argue with a hit. But I never really thought that was one, so it wasn’t that big a deal when they changed it.”

The even-keel attitude is typical of Colvin, who also had a go-ahead, ninth-inning home run in Philadelphia changed to a double when he was playing for the Chicago Cubs earlier this season.

“I thought it was a double,” Colvin said with a shrug.

It shouldn’t be surprising that scoring or umpiring misfortune doesn’t ruffle Colvin’s feathers. After all, he was only temporarily slowed by one of the unluckiest — and scariest — plays to happen in a major league game in recent years.

That moment came last Sept. 19 in a game between the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins. Colvin was on third base and started home on teammate Wellington Castillo’s line drive. Castillo’s bat shattered on the play and a fragment hit Colvin in the chest.

Colvin said he saw the bat fragment but thought it would miss him. Even when the fragment struck him, Colvin thought little of it.

“I just thought, ‘Oh, the bat hit me and knocked the breath out of me,’” said Colvin, who crossed home plate and turned toward the Cubs dugout. “After I hit home, someone told me I was bleeding. Things got a little hectic after that.”

As it turned out, the bat fragment punctured Colvin’s chest cavity, bruised a lung and caused it to partially collapse. He was hospitalized for several days and missed the remainder of the season.

Colvin’s recovery was slow and unpleasant.

“It took me about a month just to be able to walk down the hall without getting tired,” Colvin said.

Bad luck? Even Colvin concedes as much.

“It was such a fluke accident,” he said. “I’m just glad it wasn’t worse.”

Colvin is fully recovered and trying to work his way back to the big leagues. He’s been there twice this season but struggled in a limited role.

“The main thing Tyler needs is at-bats,” Iowa manager Bill Dancy said. “Unfortunately, he lost some time and at-bats last year because of the injury. But he’s working hard to get his swing back and has been very receptive.

Tyler’s a very positive kid.”

And while Colvin doesn’t spend a lot of time worrying about bad luck, he is receptive to a change of fortune.

“Yeah, why not?” he said. “I’ll take all the good luck I can get.”
