How'd we get 4??

[The Hot Dog Guy]

I never thought I would say this, but our current SS is a worse fielder than Ryan Theriot

 

No he isnt and its not even close

 

Theriot had a weak arm. Catsros is just out of control. Castro has also had some trouble flipping the ball to Baker today. Everyone wants to annoint Castro as the next greta thing, but his defense is terrible

Unreal. You're gonna need to try harder.

 

 

 

Theriot has a higher Zone Rating, 6.13 to 5.94 and a higher field% by a lot, .974 to .955. Castro does have a slight edge in Range Facto, 4.16 to 4.10. Castro also makes those silly dumb mistakes on easy plays. Hes young so it is expected, but for the time being, Therio is a better fielder.

Another craptacular suckfest today. Great job, guys.

 

Oh well, those high draft picks will be pretty cool.

It's a miracle.

1-5 homestand? Nice!

[NCCubFan]

Another sweep. Are we having fun yet?

[CUBZ99]

I don't think that the Diamond experiment is going to last long. His command is terrible and except the first pitch of the game the velocity on his fastball was very unimpressive. I would prefer that they actually move Cashner to the rotation or call up a guy that has a chance at making the rotation next year.

The box score for the pitchers reads like something out of AAA earlier this season. Their performance wasn't exactly unexpected.

[NCCubFan]

I think Coleman can be returned to the minors without weakening the bullpen.

This weekend was brutal trying to watch this team live. I'm really ready to get home
