@sahadevsharma: Don't look now, but Castro's walk rate on the season is up to 5.0%, higher than last season.

 

Fangraphs has his walk rate at 4.7% this season and 4.9% last season. So not quite.

Fangraphs doesn't update during games, right? He's got 25 walks, so that could be the difference

Not sure if it's new but they have live updates on the player page. The 4.7% walk rate is including the 25th walk.

Brett has played a damn good CF since the callup.

[Careless]

I do not like Clevenger

[ctcf]

Brett with a second straight good game.

[Careless]

Rizzo, Castro, and Jackson all had positive days batting and in the field and Volstad gave up no runs? That's a 2012 success.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-0 when Jackson draws 2 BBs and doesn't strike out.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

He's on my shot list too

Rizzo 2-2 with 2 BBs, Castro 2-3 with 1 BB, Jackson 1-2 with 2 BBs. Love it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS drew 6 BBs in one game.............

Error for a great throw? I love that stat!

I'm pretty indifferent to the guy, but I'm surprised at the number of people here who talk about him like he's likely to be anything more than a backup. I've seen posts where people think he could be a starter or even could be a valuable trading chip.

I do not like Clevenger

 

That's because he's terrible. A young Koyie in the making.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Old school rain delay theater. That's what I like to see!

[davell]

He's a backup catcher though. He's fine. A .600 OPS out of a backup C is probably pretty decent. I think he can do that at least some years.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 30-22 (.577) when they get they get at least 9 hits .... 18-55 (.247) when they don't

That didn't last long.

[Careless]

take a look at the radar. This isn't coming back soon. I'm surprised they didn't call it.
