What just happened? Game cast letting me down.

[Castros trade value]

Easily safe. 2-0 Cubs after this gets overturned.

Single to right, play at the plate, runner ruled out but they're reviewing it. Should be 2-0 Cubs with Baez coming up.

Nice thanks. So 5-0 in a minute then.

[Guest]

For the debate whether Soler's single the other night was seeing eye or not, THAT was seeing eye.

[Agony and Ivy]

He's safe. God Pierzynski can go [expletive] himself. I had some asshat in a card shop proclaim that AJ was a top 5 player in Chicago baseball history and I bit on that bait so hard and I should've known there was no arguing with that kind of person.

Gamecast is not built for replay. lol

[kujay]

No joke.

[Castros trade value]

Baby steps. Baez has whiffed only once in his last 6 at bats. Needs to keep that pace up. Edited August 30, 2014 by Castro's trade value

[Guest]

that was a pretty sexy turn

dubront giving up lots of hard contact

Just about to say this. His fastball has no life and his breaking stuff is more cement mixer like. I don't think he has the raw stuff Bosio needs to work his magic.

[Guest]

is this as hard as doubront throws?

[PackLandVA]

I swear, every time I see Castro jog, I can't help wondering if he took a dump in his pants just before contact.

[Guest]

i really like Doubront's makeup, he looks the part of a major league pitcher.

Wow. Not even top 50.

Please tell me he used terms like gritty, team leader and "the right way".

I don't see much to get excited about. His rehab starts weren't very good and he looks pretty bleh today as well.

i don't either, but i wasn't really expecting to.

 

as i get to thinking with all crappy lefty starters, i wonder if he can be a decent loogy at least (have looked at no numbers)

Lefties have a career .736 OPS against him. So probably not. Probably has a best chance of sticking on a roster as the swing/last guy in the bullpen that can spot start/come in and pitch multiple innings

[sneakypower]

he threw a huge fit about being put into Boston's bullpen; his future is likely with a different team

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The Cardinals are in the middle of a big power slump, so waving our dongs in their faces is even more fun.

[Cubswin11]

I like Watkins as a super-sub type player

[Guest]

Watkins bomb

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Right. In Their Stupid. Faces.

[sneakypower]

there seems to be quite a bit to like about Watkins as a utility guy
