  1. Castillo throws great, it's everything else relating to catching that he sucks at.
  2. I don't want to hear any more "waaaah the cubs have the worst luck" ever again. aside from navarro's single, this whole comeback has been crap hits and now a throwing error off of a bat.
  3. his head has always been waaaay too big for his body and it has always been weird
  4. you have to, obviously
  5. that was a really really really good play by span
  6. that is not how i pictured gray. #teamappel
  7. yeah, coming in i definitely thought he was a guy who might hit .240 with a little pop and walk enough to make it work. instead he's doing everything but that. very weird.
  8. His ability to throw out runners outweighs his inability to keep balls in front of him. does uzr or anything make any effort to differentiate between wild pitches that might have been blocked by a better catcher? i'm sure castillo is being penalized for passed balls, but how much do these systems know that he's not blocking as many balls as he might? i am generally wary of advanced defensive metrics when it comes to catchers and first baseman, as so much of their value comes excusing the mistakes of others. if things have improved in these areas, i'd be thrilled to hear about it. i won't pretend to be particularly up on things these days.
  9. TREE JOKES ARE MY FORTE YOU STEP OFF AND QUICK
  10. the only parenting books neely's mom read were written by harry craddock
  11. "CANNOT JUMP IN AIR FOR BALL"
  12. now that the game is in hand i am very much in favor of allowing soto to pad his stats
  13. "nate robinson doing what he does: putting the team on his back" -- a real thing someone said in 2013
  14. that was a pretty great sequence
  15. castro needs to leave the bag and go get that ball. that was going to be into centerfield even if it didn't hit the runner.
  16. whatever happened with him and that child pornography stuff? suspended sentence as long as he promised to look like that as a warning to all normal people to stay away from him
  17. in fairness, soriano was only out by a full foot
  18. MARK PRIOR IS NOT AN INJURY RISK
  19. grace calling the game from prison would be a better option than moreland
