Castro...wow. The definition of scuffling.

 

Never thought I'd long for Theriot like production at SS.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 33-2 (.943) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 5-31 (.139) when they trail.... 8-5 (.615) when they're tied.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[OleMissCub]

Pretend he's hurt and get Baez up here asap.

 

This x 10000

[Irrelevant Dude]

CUBS are 33-2 (.943) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning

Where is the guy who kept saying the Cubs desperately need to trade for a closer?

[jersey cubs fan]

stop talking about the stupid adrenaline series

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-7 (.588) when they hit an opposing batter.... 36-31 (.537) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[sontensei]

Does anyone know what percentage of Castro's balls in play actually leave the infield?

 

Not sure, but according to fangraphs his grounder to flyout ratio is more than 2 to 1 and his ground hit % is 56 ... of his 44% balls not grounders 15% are popups in the infield only

bullpen is due for another melt down aside for a couple stroped games, the rest of the guys have been pretty good recently.

[profisme]

He was out at second but Joe didn't challenge

[Andy]

He's out, but you know, don't bother asking for a review.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-6 (.571) when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 38-32 (.543) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

kinda would have been nice if the umpire didn't gift eaton a 2-0 count on pitches that were strikes.

[Andy]

He was out at second but Joe didn't challenge

No challenge because we wasted it on a play that never had a [expletive] prayer of being overturned. He could have asked for a review, though

[treebird]

baez isn't even playing baseball right now and only got cleared to swing a bat today. he's not coming.

[HendryWallet]

Not watching, any reason Hendricks was taken out except for fatigue?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

baez isn't even playing baseball right now and only got cleared to swing a bat today. he's not coming.

Yeah, those are weird comments from people who are around every day.

[UMFan83]

HBP, SB, Sac Bunt, Sac Fly. Grinderrrr

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 34-8 (.810) when they score first in the game.... 12-30 (.286) when they don't

Game over. What to expect against Sale tomorrow? No hit?

[HendryWallet]

HBP, SB, Sac Bunt, Sac Fly. Grinderrrr

 

TWTW

[TruffleShuffle]

two innings for our sad sack offense to push across a run.

[Andy]

Oh, look at that. It's not that [expletive] hard to get runs home.

 

This offense's performance is [expletive] embarrassing.

[UMFan83]

I just don't know what to do with this offense. It's been what a month they've been struggling most games? So frustrating to waste great pitching.
