Castro being able to play multiple positions bodes well long term so slumping players can get a break.

I’d like to keep him around next season too

10-9 with 4.3 Era. Not great but serviceable. I'm on fence. He's done better since he came back in late June but not significantly. Probably can't afford to wait but would like to see how soroka does and tallison/assad progress.

That was last year. I would pay more attention to his 6.23 ERA in 2025. His #'s just aren't good: low strikeouts, high HR rate and averaging 4.5 innings/start.

But even if you look at 2024 and his 4.3 ERA. It was 5.98 in the 2nd half a WHIP of 1.77. He gave up 75 hits in 50 innings.

Both starters out with injuries.

Hopefully Brown gets pulled before costing us the game.

What was your favorite moment of the Soroka Cubs era?

 

[JP4CY]

Dansby!

 

[BigJCy]

So was this a royal Cubs screw-up or the right thing to do at the time to let him go? 40 HR's on August 4th.

He is good for few innings. He has good stuff and high ceiling.

Why isn't Dansby hitting a grounder to the right side to move the runner?!?

Selfish player.

 

[BigJCy]

Just keep Swanson at the bottom of the line-up. Seems to hit better down there.

Dansby!

I liked his approach at the plate. That was the right time to swing for the fence.

He jacked 2 today.

He is a free agent after this season....

He is not a selfish player. I actually liked his approach at the plate. That was the right time to swing for the fence.

A lot of people weren’t too happy getting rid of Scwarbs including me.

If we can’t sign Tucker, let’s go get him. He would probably demand a damn big contract but likely not as much as Tucker.

Tucker is younger but is he that much better than Schwarber?
