the brewers are really good at being the brewers. my god...it's like a bad plan gone worse than expected for this team.

walking in a run...after loading the bases with 0 out. neat. HBP in a run...after walking in a run...after loading the bases with 0 out. double neat. this MIL team is awesome!

castro debut at 2nd he's never played anything but SS for the cubs, btw.

castro looks stoked and ready...not 1 shred of whining. it probably helps he's nicely paid and locked in for years, but he's handling his new situation with limited playing time extremely well.

He doesn't seem like a problem character at all to me. And I am fully ready for a career resurgence as a GG 2B who makes up for lackluster tags on steal attempts by flagging down shallow fly balls that nobody else makes plays on. Of course, his career actually hinges on his bat coming around.

If nothing else, if Castro plays well at second he at least boosts his trade value some. I really think Castro needs to go back to being Castro for his hitting to come around. Cubs need to let go of trying to turn him into an OBP guy. Never happening. If he can just start spraying the ball around the field again, and swing aggressively, there are plenty of teams that will happily take a guy who can play both second base positions and collect 200 hits / season.

Of all the players most likely to main second for the Cubs next season (Castro, LaStella, Baez, Coghlan, etc), Castro certainly is the most likely to succeed, but he will need to show something with the bat during the remainder of the season. To that point, I think Castro could be a plus defender at second since the additional time to make a play will help to mask some of his deficiencies at short.

rizzo screwed up castro's webgem from his debut at 2nd (though not his fault). he just makes that play 99 times out of 100.

...and then Castro does what he does best and makes a very tough play on a pop fly in foul territory. He reminds me of Dunston on those. My first time back at the ballpark since "the Strop game"...when Russell gave up the hit in the 9th, I had flashbacks. Fortunately, the Brewers smashed two line drives right at Fowler.

chc win...pit loss...sweeeeeet. stl had to win for pit to get that loss, but 1st place in the NL Central seems a little bit out of reach even with the recent unreal amount of success.

I think that (i) the Cubs could catch the Pirates or (ii) the Pirates could catch the Cardinals. I don't think it realistic that the Cubs could catch the Cardinals. I think if the Cubs make the playoffs, they will most likely play in the WC game.

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 08:14 pm

...and, just to keep the momentum going --- Almora 2-4 with a double tonight. His last 7 games: 16 for 28 with 5 walks.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans.

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.

  • Cubster (view)

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.

    Holy Screaming Bananas

    In honor of dispatching with the Astros, this painting is titled “The Sweep”. 
    I retired a couple years ago, and took a job at Wrigley as a security guy. SO cool having Wrigley as your office. SO cool being there when PCA got his first hit. 
    “The Sweep” happens at the end of every game - the security staff sweeps through the ballpark making sure it’s empty.
    (Hopefully I’ll be putting this painting up often this year.)
    Lastly, because working for the Cubs, they understandably don’t want you voicing opinions on social, which is why I’m only painting the banners here.

    Honorable mention to Jim Bullinger via BleedCubbieBlue: 

    Bullinger, a converted shortstop, had pitched in three games before he came to the plate. He had entered the game to relieve starter Shawn Boskie after four innings, and came to the plate to lead off the fifth, and hit Rheal Cormier's first pitch over the left-field wall to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead; they eventually won the game 5-2 in 14 innings. Of the 129players to homer in their first MLB at-bat, Bullinger is one of just 32 to hit that blast on the first big-league pitch he saw (including Contreras) and one of just six pitchers to do so.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Most of this activity will lead nowhere, of course, but it is fantastic that they’re looking for talent in every nook and cranny. You never know where that can lead, and virtually nothing is lost if if leads nowhere, as long as no one of superior talent and potential is losing an opportunity.
