This is done. Should've been 5-1 when Fowler hit the hardest ball in Petco history to not leave the yard.

[Sammys Boombox]

How did he not offer at that?!?! Are you serious?

to be honest i didnt watch cubs 10-14 at all. i dont get the castro hype.

 

So take 5 seconds and look up his numbers.

 

i have looked them up before seems streaky good year then soso then bad then good.

 

He was a 1.8 WAR player his rookie season, then 2.8, 3.1, -0.1 and then 2.7. He's a productive, very affordable player going through a rough patch. Sending him down would be stupid and trading him now would be selling low. Just move him down in the lineup and work him through it. If they want to move Baez up just kick Coghlan out of the lineup.

 

you say this as if he knows what WAR means.

[sontensei]

they want baez

 

And they can fit Baez in easily if they want to; getting rid of Castro doesn't help them at all right now.

 

i dont think FO wants to devalue any of the rookies

 

What is this gibberish?

 

they dont want to move javy from middle infield. FO has said this multiple times. the team seams to want to keep the middle infield trade value high

[BrockLanders]

is jd advocating for a hidden ball trick or what

a long time ago they were up 2-0

[SouthSideRyan]

I really couldn't tell live, but damn that seems like an unncessary risk.

yeah gonna be safe.

[TruffleShuffle]

our defense has been hot garbage this game.

[ScrubMD]

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

I doubt they'd be that stupidly stubborn; that only serves to undercut leverage if they try to move any of these guys. They can easily fit all of these guys in the lineup.

Yeah just my really unfunny way of saying they've made a lot of errors.

[ConstableRabbit]

Boooooooooooo! Okay bedtime

[Schwarber Fan]

What a gift [expletive] win. And now we have to wait around all day for the next game. West coast is brutal.

[sontensei]

yeah the closer is sick this game is probably over.

[DiamondMind]

aaaaand Im going to sleep

[Sammy Sofa]

Stroooooooooop, why do you do this?

[Sammys Boombox]

This game stings as bad as the "we struck out Myers, wait, no we didn't he hit a 3-run HR" game. Edited May 20, 2015 by Sammy's Boombox

It's going to be funny when this inning ends on a web gem.
