Filthy play, he easily couldve slid, and Jason wasnt even blocking the plate. Mills better do the right the thing and order the bean ball tomorrow night. Sometimes a manager needs to get mean to defend his players.
From the Crawfish Boxes: Glad that Jason Castro shook it off. Gamel straight up trucked him with no regard for his well-being. I don't believe that he should be suspended, and he probably won't. Time for a reprisal.
Ehh... let me rephrase that last part. Although I don't think that Gamel should be suspended, he should know that he can't get away with nearly injuring our catcher without facing the consequences. Therefore, I think it's time for a reprisal.
After what happened with Posey last year, it makes you extremely nervous seeing plays like that. Posey certainly wasn't the first to get hurt on a play at the plate like that (I know Ray Fosse only because he got hurt getting trucked by Pete Rose in the ASG), but was the most recent that got people talking about changing the rules at home.
There have been plenty of better college pitchers than what Greinke is. Greinke has been pretty inconsistent in his career, and outside of that one season, he really hasn't been among the top pitchers in the game.
We are 2-5 in those games, 0-2 in Extras. Our expected record is 10-7, but we are 6-11. That is rough.
an accidental curve ball to the head should be the reprisal. Old school! Ugh, I wish CJ would just serve as a pinch hitter.
I don't know. That is downright dirty. He didn't even touch the plate, he left before touching the plate directly into the catcher. Entire purpose of that action is take out the catcher, not get home safely. I do maybe partial wish they could retaliate though that is totally unprofessional and unsportsmanlike. But it also would be likely to get Bud thrown out of the game, which they cannot afford against Wolf who always seems to dominate the Stros.

As fun as we are to watch, we just don't have very much talent and have virtually no depth. Bogusevic should not be batting 5th. Wish Fernando Martinez would show us something.
