Castro gets 2 big hits tonight and all I see is a bunch of emo crap in the thread prior. Some people need to just shut up and enjoy the game. Oh and his defense sucks. Just look at the DP's turned tonight. Save some of the comments for season's end. It's almost here.

getting Arrieta and Strop for Feldman was highway robbery.

I hope Arrieta stays. He's going to get paid this year.

He will get a very nice raise the next two years via agreement or arbitration, but he isn't going anywhere until at least 2018.

Don't look now but Rizzo's slash line is .444/.483/1.0 in his last 7 games. That is not a typo.

Only guy that is Close is Baez. Hitting .316/.395/.711 post all star. The only red flag I see is he is at 34% SO post injury. 27% over all.

You would expect that to rise vs MLB pitching.

That might be the only factor keeping him in AAA right now.

Bryant

Think they need to give Bryant a day off and when he returns to the line-up bat him lower in the order, maybe 6th or 7th to take some pressure off.

Absolutely, he is the hall of very good. Shame Cubs fans never appreciated him. I remember people blaming him cause he wouldn't hit .330 the whole season. Solid defender. Plus bat and came to work everyday. By far, the best Cubs third baseman since Santo and got little respect.

Most Cubs fans I know respected the hell out of Ramirez.

Should have been on CBS message boards then. He only played when the Cubs were out of contention. He didn't hustle to first on every ground ball which in turn made a bad example for the young kids which in turn made them bad players.

People ripped the shit out of the dude on that board. It never made sense.

Just about everything you typed is not true.
