You could tell that call got in Castro's head.

Gameday actually suggests that every single one of those pitches were in the generic strike zone, but it looked very low from my point of view.

In fact, I think Castro had to swing at those curves because they would have passed the zone before dropping off the face of the planet according to Gameday.

He had to swing after that call that is for certain.

That was very restrained for him in talking about that pitch to Castro.

Clearly he is far more concerned about appearing unbiased than McCarver or Buck on national broadcast.

Castro needs to keep tag on. Or could just pull a CHW and tackle him

Maybe if Castro had played behind the bag and received the throw and then launched into McCutchen. You gotta bend it like Beckham
