l thought once you were called up in a season, you can go up and down without the 10 day rule?

Never thought I would say this but automated strike zone please.

yeah that was bad but as long as our guy gets those calls the batters can adjust.

Nope. Once you are sent down in a season it uses up an option year and you can go up/down numerous times w/o being released.

Carpenter is hitting more line drives this year and fewer flyballs. It will depress his HR totals, but his average has to creep up. Just be patient. Fowler has the worst BABIP in baseball and Carpenter is 10th worst, but 40% of his contact is hard. It's just bad luck. If you bench him now, you're likely robbing the team of his regression to the mean, which means a month where he hits .400.
Yeah DeJong legitimately drawing walks is surprising. Iirc, and I’m too lazy to look, he’s stroll striking out a fair amount but atleast the walks are there so theoretically I guess it’s better.

I’m just not sure he’s the long term short stop

He’s still looking to walk way too much. You have that lopsided shift used against him. Yet he refuses to take the outside pitch that’s up and just flick it to the left side and that huge hole in the infield. Instead he strikes out. How many of his strikeouts were that same pitch? There’s a book on him now. He has to do something different. You can’t be hitting .165 and just keep doing the same thing.

You don’t go changing your approach that quickly. The numbers say it’ll work out

those last two strikeouts were a great example. He does a a simple inside out swing he’s got two base hits instead of Two strikeouts.

He should be doing that regardless of a slump. They are going to give you a single every time, take that every time.

The Cubs appear to be off the schneid. All it took was playing a horrible team at home. :D

and conversely the Cardinals are flat after the two come from behind wins, extra innings, National TV, rain delays and the sweep of the Cubs over the weekend.

Not surprising.
