Luis Castillo

That could lead to a little bit of an early exit for him, and it's backed up by a Cardinals bullpen that's 22nd in the big leagues in terms of ERA, and they've really had some mixing and shaking here recently.

You've got a lot of guys like a Ryan Stanek, Brandon Motts, along with George Soriano, guys that are posting up all above a four-year A. Luis Castillo, they have not been able to get the job done.

Goran Gusefo, sub-three-year A, he's been able to do a relatively solid job.

And then you take a look at the lineup.

there you go yeah I uh yeah it's gonna be an interesting one we have like so much time to like have these conversations but um I don't know do you I guess my last question for you do you guys care who wins the postseason do you have like a little bit of a rooting interest

I had been hoping for a White Sox victory for the sake of Luis Castillo, but if they're just going to have him sit on the IL and he gets like a token ring for his, you know, two months sort of pitching poorly for the team, that doesn't feel as good to me.

Seven plus to the

RA is rough.

And so we're going to start off with injuryless placements.

Luis Castillo of the White Sox going on the injuries with right shoulder impingement.

Probably not coming back for the wildcard series, so if the White Sox make it out of there, then maybe he's available for the ALDS.

Christian Javier dealing with a right groin strain.

And then, you know, then we'll focus on the offseason and get prepared for another year.

You put Luis Castillo on the ILS today.

Are you hopeful the shoulder is kind of explaining some of the, you know, the finished stuff grades and what's kind of the outlook for him as far as, you know, potentially being on rotation next year?

Yeah, I know that – You know, there was impingement in the shoulder and, you know, with impingement, there comes weakness and instability.

And we look forward to getting him healthy.

Chris Goetz discussing Luis Castillo's health as he was placed on the injured list on Thursday prior to their game in Kansas City.

Jake Rogers has been placed on the paternity leave list, and Drew Romo has been activated to the active roster.

That's a huge loss for any team, let alone one trying to compete.

And Luis Castillo is on the 15-day IL.

Chase Mydroth is day-to-day.

Willie Castro is on the 10-day IL.

They never really made an attempt.

The deal that they made at the deadline was to placate a trade that they had to do cartwheels over to get Luis Castillo's contract out of here, right? Which seems to be their most important move of the year.

And, you know, the three in the middle never really got it going.

They kind of got it going.

Sox might be up 3-1, and you knew the wheels were going to fall off the bus at some point, but I'd still catch myself watching.

I'm like, why am I watching this? What is going on? So to be the first team in Major League Baseball history to lose multiple seasons of 100 games and then to make the playoffs, I just, you know, damn, like for the fan base, for the White Sox fans that are out there that have had to deal with people talking trash, coming down on your team, questioning the decisions that the front office is making, bringing in Chris Goetz, signing a guy like Sir Anthony Dominguez, Luis Castillo, everything that you could point to.

Does not matter because you made it to the playoffs.

And it felt good that despite losing the game to Cleveland to give up the lead, you still go to Detroit, handle business.

And it's why they were in a position to go out and add at the trade deadline.

Again, I didn't agree with the Luis Castillo trade.

But a lot of the things that they've done have made a ton of sense.

Murakami, you can see it on the field with his power.
