4 lefties at the bottom of the order, well three I guess since Marwin is a switch hitter. Let's see how we can handle a lefty relief pitcher late in games with this type of line up.
Well....if there's a silver lining to Castro's game so far he hasn't had his famous watch strike three right down the middle and argue with the ump. Should have had ball 4 though.
Who bats after Castro? He's fortunate that he's a very good defensive catcher. In all seriousness, though, that wasn't a bad AB. He saw the ball well and at least he swung at strike 3. Improvement from watching it go by and looking at the ump incredulously last year.
Yup, the next pitch was a closer but he calls that one a ball. Umps must hate how well the TV shows pitches nowadays.
The umps get every pitch from the system that MLB uses. It's not the same one used on tv. They are told every pitch they missed.
