    They're gonna break his intercostal if they keep making him dive back like that.

    How can a professional ball player be so bad at the plate like Castro

    Castro staring at another strike down the middle and looks at the umpire. What does that make now...150?

    High strike call but after you saw what they called on Carter...you swing.

    Would Castro bunting with two outs be frowned upon?

    Come Jason, your a catcher. You see these pitches too much to be fooled so much.

    I haven't seen anyone as bad as Castro in the batters box since Adam Everett and Brad Ausmus :eek:

    Colby Rasmus is warming to October. He's one of 5 players to record an extra base hit in each of his first 5 postseason games. Nelson Cruz was the last to do it, in 2010.

    I'm not going to defend Castro's every at bat. But some of the criticism is kind of funny. Some people are upset that he swung at the pitch that he hit into a double play, and now some people are mad that he took the third strike this at bat.

    I guess he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't... Unless of course he gets a hit.
