So very frustrating.

 

Baseball blue balls. It's getting to be a thing.

How did Soler not drive him in? My Gameday made his AB vanish.

 

Dribbler back to the pitcher.

Honest to God, I'm not saying he needs to be fired but it's incredible how you don't even hear a whisper of this from anyone even as everyone in baseball agrees our offense is bad.

[Careless]

Having Castro be a black hole of awfulness is no fun.

When basically every hitter on the team is significantly underperforming, I don't know how you keep him this long.

[Sammy Sofa]

Castro clearly sucks, so it beats me why people are more pissed at him for failing there than the guy before him who has been hitting well lately. Anger is a weird thing.

[ScrubMD]

Even if Baez hasn't improved at all since last year, being awful with the occasional monster-dong is so much more palatable than being Castro-awful.

because i'm pissed at the guy that sucks rather than the guy who is good who just didn't get it done because baseball is baseball

While the dribbler back to the pitcher wasn't great, Castro's pathetic, desperate lunge at a pitch several feet outside on an obvious "oh it's 0-2 I'm just gonna throw an obvious ball and see if he offers" pitch was severely embarrassing

 

It's the kind of swing no one in the majors should make

Castro looks so lost. Taking BP fastballs down the middle, then offering at crap in the dirt.

[DiamondMind]

Im nervous

I'm just saying, it's pretty much expected that Castro and Ross are going to fail at this point. It's a miracle if they do anything productive. Mr. A Billion MPH off of the Bat was the one we were actually counting on.

LaStella pulled from Iowa lineup

It's a rehab assignment, it's not unusual for them to not play the full game

i know but i'm just fed up with watching castro fail by doing stupid [expletive] and looking completely incompetent

[UMFan83]

What in the [expletive] was that Fowler?

[DiamondMind]

mild stroke there

[BigSlick]

Arrieta gave me a scare there

[OleMissCub]

Insert Fred Sanford gif. Holy [expletive]

[Andy]

That really would've sucked.

Look, it's probably the last game I can in any way defend one of my favorite Cub players ever, and I'm going to do it, dammit.

[DiamondMind]

I would have really thought about turning off the game if that dropped

[Derwood]

What in the [expletive] was that Fowler?

 

Um, he was playing super shallow because the pitcher was hitting
