Castro was hot all series. Baxter didn't foul one off all game.
If Baxter gets out in a nonDP, you walk Montero to get to the pitcher spot.

Hindsight always 20/20 though.

@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.

Most managers don't intentionally walk the bases loaded when they have first and second with 2 outs. Never a good idea.
