The Starlin Castro Farewell Tour?

[SKO]

3-3 with nobody on and shit behind him but he GIDP on the first hard hit ball he has all night with the bases loaded. My God.

Saved a no-hitter though, so he's ok by me

Cost the perfect game at the time with his error, so there's that.

My wording was vague. Wasn't hating on Starlin.  I was bemoaning his bad luck. He smote that ball.

Eh, that ball was smoked and was a tough play and arguably should have been ruled an infield hit (even Jake said so), so his "error" is the only reason it ended up being a no-no.

Never been gladder to see Castro make an "error".

DPD.

Yeah I think we're pretty much done here.

Fuck this fucking fucker.

Since the benching, in 61 plate appearances: .344/.344/.475/.820.

Hopefully he keeps hitting this month and at least rebuilds some trade value.

Agreed. If his trade value nets the team a fifth starter and he goes to a team I don't hate, that would be fantastic. Maybe I'll pick him up in the 25th round of my fantasy league or something. Maybe I'll weep silently in the privacy of my own bathroom and think about what might have been.

For added effect, you could hold up 10 fingers and three toes in front of the mirror as you're weeping.

Five toes and eight fingers would be easier.

The less often he plays, the better he gets.

Bench him forever and...  BABE RUTH!

Any trade of Castro that yields significant salary absorption by the acquiring team is a win for the Cubs.
