I grew up watching the Cubs play ball in the afternoon, when I could have been watching soap operas. I feel pretty much the same way today.
What I find interesting and relevant about Zambrano is that he doesn’t have very good aim with any of his pitches. His minimal pitching motion is also a concern.
When I think of Milton Bradley on the Cubs, I remember a hitter who rarely hit a ball hard. When he did, it was sometimes to left center but usually in foul territory down the right-field line. Von Joshua diagnosed Bradley’s lefty swing in detail and concluded, “You can’t hit like that.”
The misbehavior and the melodrama are less important to me than the technical shortcomings.
