Seems like a pretty immature thing to say just cuz people are pointing out the truth about your boy Castro. Answer one question.... why isn't Castro starting at SS? That's what I thought.

Because he hit horrendously during the better part of the season. He now is hitting well and is playing almost everyday. Point?


Also, you have to let someone answer a question to be right about the answer. So, dynamite post again.

Now when our closer comes in on a non-save appearance, he gets lit up. Let's see what the Pirate closer does here.

He didn't play during that stretch? He just made a solid defensive decision to get out of the inning. What does your dip shit thoughts not get?

Wow. If someone disagrees with you, you immediately start with the insults. Nice!

He fielded the ball and threw to first with the bases loaded, (while a run scored) and stood flat footed while everyone else got involved.

What was the "solid decision"?

Jesus dude...... just tell us all where you and Starlin are registered, and we'll chip in for a beautiful wedding gift.

LOL He made the decision to go to first so they could get two. He runs the runner back. The runners are on the corners with 2 outs. He made a solid baseball decision. Threw a strike to first. How insane are you over Castro? Russell got the day off. Get the **** over it dude. Castro is hitting again. Get the **** over it. You are the ultimate meatball fan.

Or maybe it's because Maddon realizes that both Baez and Russell are better defenders. You ridiculed me all off season about not being a Castro supporter, yet the Cubs tried to move him, demoted him, and yet you're the only one still insulting people in his defense, when pretty much the Cubs have made it clear that they prefer the other players over him. Again .... Nice!

SS. The question involved the key defensive position of SHORTSTOP.

He fucking KILLED us there. All but one person on earth knows that. Tag, you're it.

Does he not play almost everyday? Why is that?

He played. In the 8th or 9th when we had the game won.

Look at the Cubs record when he starts vs when he does not start.

Who said for him to go back to SS? Is he not playing almost everyday even though he is not a major leaguer in your book? You keep trying to move goal post.

Because Soler got hurt and we needed to rotate an IF to the OF.

When we were fully healthy, he was benched - and the team thrived.

Drop the emotion and look at some plain, hard facts.

I am not moving anything. You were asked why he no longer plays SS, and answered by saying "he plays".

He played 2nd only late in games until we were down a man. Now he plays the whole game. And we are playing .500 ball lately. Go figure.

He has started 120 of the 130 games he has been in. Want to try again chief?

Well....the bottom line lately is, that we have not made other teams hit to beat us.

We walked 4 in the loss Saturday.

We allowed the winning run Monday to score without a hit.

We allowed an unearned run tonight in a 2-2 game.

He hasn't played in 14 games. He hasn't started 24 games. Your facts are still lacking.
