August 10, 201214 yr When they got Soriano out, I stepped away for a second, I knew they were gonna put Castro on and just pitch to the rookie. Dusty. :ohbrother:
August 10, 201214 yr Why the hell did they just pitch to Casto? 1st base open, two outs and a rookie with all of 15 ML PAs to his name on deck???? Dusty thought it was Juan Castro. Honestly I don't have a problem pitching to Castro there. I might have pitched around him, but most managers won't walk a guy to bring the tying run to the plate.
August 10, 201214 yr Why the hell did they just pitch to Casto? 1st base open, two outs and a rookie with all of 15 ML PAs to his name on deck???? Because the guy calling the shots is an idiot. It's really that simple. Actually Dusty would say that Castro hasn't had much luck against LeCure he was 0-1.
August 10, 201214 yr Dusty thought it was Juan Castro. Honestly I don't have a problem pitching to Castro there. I might have pitched around him, but most managers won't walk a guy to bring the tying run to the plate. Most cases I agree. However, Castro seemingly kills the Reds and they had a 22 year old kid fresh up from AA (I believe) coming up. What gives you the better odds to get out of it unscathed?
August 10, 201214 yr Is anyone else starting to be concerned with the health of the bullpen? September can't get here fast enough to get those guys some much needed rest imo? Chapman, Marshall, Ondrusek and Arredondo near or over 50 appearances
August 10, 201214 yr Ludwick with his 3rd hit of the day. He's a triple away from the cycle. He's definitely out of the lineup tomorrow. Let's see if Paul can get in another run. I honestly feel the Reds will need it.

Chapman, Marshall, Ondrusek and Arredondo near or over 50 appearances They are 4th last in IP from the bullpen. 26 out of 30 teams.

I might have pitched around him, but most managers won't walk a guy to bring the tying run to the plate. Why throw the guy a strike, you can't walk him because he will swing at anything just like Soriano? Castro 19 BBs in 470 plate appearances. Soriano 25 BBs in 413 appearances.
August 10, 201214 yr Cubs obviously want no part of Paul. They walk him to get to Frazier. Big mistake.
August 10, 201214 yr Camp is not coming to stop on his stretch. I can't believe the umps are not calling a balk on that.
