So this was in today's paper:
Quote:
"It's not like you give a guy a little breather and let him watch and all of a sudden he's going to have a miraculous (change)," Quade said. "But that's pointing out the seriousness of it, that's taking a little pressure off a guy for a day or two. … There are so many things that go into that (decision).
"That didn't happen because I thought he thought he had (the game) licked. That's an area that gets you on the bench pretty quick too. But there was so much, so fast, and it was so important for this kid. And sometimes you just think 'Maybe it's a little too much right now. Maybe this is a good thing.' It gets taken as 'discipline' but it really wasn't. I really thought it was a teaching moment for the kid to step back."
Looks like Quade is saying much the same thing today as he was back in early September about the benching.
To me that sounds like he was honest in the first place, and he didn't just jump to conclusions and bench the guy without first arriving at the decision after giving it serious thought.
And I like that he said that there's no doubt that castro needs to work on his defense. Spot on, and nice to see truth come out rather than "where'd you play your ball" snark.
I don't think this overall translates into a playoff team, you can't polish a poo, but still... maybe an end to the era of Live and Let Live Cubs management?
