Seriously, is Schwarber in the ROTY hunt? Or did we call him up too late?

Same pitches to Bryant and Soler = completely different calls. Every day.
Seriously, Soler must have run over an ump's kid with his car or something.

Castro was benched
"I told Starlin, 'It's not a day off,'" Maddon said of the shortstop, who was batting .236 entering Friday. "I wanted him to understand that up front. I did not give him any promises on how he'll be utilized other than, 'Just stay ready off the bench.' I didn't want to give him any kind of false promises whatsoever. He could be playing tomorrow."
Maddon emphasized the move was not "punitive" and said Castro, a three-time All-Star, took the news well. If Castro was hitting better, would Maddon have made this move?
"Probably not," Maddon said. "If he was playing his normal offensive game, you probably don't do something like this."
Maddon had talked with president of baseball operations Theo Epstein about the moves, and he met with Castro prior to posting the lineup Friday.
"This isn't a permanent benching," Epstein said. "It's just a recognition of where we are in the standings, how many good options we have with the players we have returning now, and it's a nod to Joe's ability to push the right buttons and put the best lineup on the field any given night."
With Montero back, Schwarber's time behind the plate will be limited.
"At the end of the day, it's about the Cubs winning," Maddon said. "Schwarber is the impetus regarding this manuever, more than Starlin. We have to include Kyle right now. You've got to include [Coghlan], based on performance and our lack of offense."

Would be nice to see Soler actually go after a ball as though he hated to miss it.
He just tiptoes his way toward it and makes a very early decision to play it on one bounce.

Soler looks like he has no desire or energy to come in hard on a ball... lot of balls fall at his feet

I don't think they could over rule it. Nice play by Russell.
