We're basically going to have to take on a bad contract to get rid of Castro.  Waited one season too many.  I can understand why they waited but in hindsight it is now a huge mistake.  I really hope Russell and Baez are the middle infield next year and hopefully as soon as later this month. 

I really hope Bryant is ok.  Richard is going down tonight.  Do the Cubs bring up Olt or Baez if Bryant is hurt?  I assumed Sczur was coming back but now they may need someone to play 3rd.

This will be the most important week of Cubs baseball since October 2008.  Hopefully they can take at least 4 or 5 out of 7.

Curt, we are stuck with the bonehead this year.
Well, I understand that about Davep, but I was talking about Castro.  I'm ready to put him on waivers and see what we can get.

I think Olt would come up before Baez if they needed a third baseman.

Giants lose and they are tied with the Cubs for the final Wild Card spot. Please be ok Kris.

A term you hear in other sports when a player can't seem to do anything right no matter how hard he tries is "he's in jail".  That's where Starlin Castro is right now.

Letting him clear his head by sitting on the bench for a few days might help but a phantom injury putting him on the DL followed by a rehab assignment might be better.

Bryant ok. No concussion.

He'll be evaluated Monday and if he clears that he should be good to go.

No roster move post game re: Richard. He's going to Pittsburgh with team. #Cubs want to re-evaluate that on Monday, too

Maddon says they took Bryant out of the game as precautionary move. He'll be re-evaluated on Monday in Pittsburgh. #Cubs

DFA James Russell pretty please. 

Somebody on PSD posted Schwarber's pitch framing stats and he was supposed to be in the positive area.

Impossible.  All the experts have said he can't catch.

I hope needing to re-evaluate Richard doesn't mean they're worried that someone else might be hurt.

I hope it has to do with Richard hitting 94 with his fastball.

I think it probably means that they are happy with some of his starts, and would rather not lose him when he goes through waivers again.
