So what were you guys saying about Vitters's terrible defense? :lol:

If he can do that consistently I'm all for letting him play every day.

I am happy, but the guy's arm is accurate as Castro used to be.

That was a weird ground-rule double.

Marmol was good enough. Now hoping the bottom of the order can drum up a couple runs.

If Brett Jackson gets a full season of at bats, he will break the single season strike out record. The only question is will he ever get enough at bats in a season to do it.

He took a ton of pitches tonight, I feel like if they can figure out and correct his swing he could be a lot more dangerous. Those strikeouts are annoying though :lol:

I don't mind the strike outs. I just fear how much they limit his production given that he is unlikely to break 30 HRs at any point in his career. If he produces at an 800 OPS clip while playing above average CF defense, he could strike out 300 times for all I care.

It is clear that Valbuena is Dale Sveum's Augie Ojeda or Jose Macais. He is going to need to be broken of that soon.

Cubs lineup: DeJesus RF, Jackson CF, Rizzo 1B, Soriano LF, Castro SS, Clevenger C, Valbuena 3B, Barney 2B, Raley P

Ewww. Vitters needs to play more. And so does Welington Castillo. Fuck the platoon advantage.

Agreed. Castillo needs to play however often a 1st string catcher plays.

He could be ready to start a throwing program at this point since he had the surgery March 20. Or he could just be with the team to be with the team.
