@phish, Szczur was optioned on June 7th. So it hasn't quite been 10 days.

Toula, I think Price was banking on Castro's ground ball percentage...he's been doing that all year. I can't fault him for that, although with Baxter with 4 K's behind Castro I definitely question why they didn't just walk Starlin.

Lake was sent down for Schlitter (gross) yesterday. You would think Lake could be useful...I just have a suspicion there is a chance we could see an interesting roster move.

And to answer the previous question from another poster about Turner, I think the Cubs will definitely bring him to the majors at the end of his rehab as he is out of options and is only 24 years old. I just don't know if he'll relieve or start...this has to be the beginning of the end for EJax.

Bryan Price was banking on the fact that Castro did not have TWTW.

The one and only reason for this move was to help the bullpen. We were desperate. The last 3 games before last night the starters had gone 3 innings, 4 innings and 5 innings. That is 15 innings in 3 games from the bullpen.

i dont get the hate for EJax. Outside of that bad outing last month, he has been really dependable.

He has a 0.87 ERA in 10IP since then. And leading up to that blow up, had thrown 9 scoreless innings to start the year.

He's prob been the best guy in our pen outside of justin grimm
