Castro telling the world how his ass taste! He has been clutch in late situations this year. Also, him driving the ball is only good.

Castro with two game winning hits and a game tying homerun in the last 4 days. Maybe we should take notice that no analyst talks about that.

Good win tonight. Of course, when isn't a win good?

Got my wish for Lester to go seven. Unfortunately, the bullpen gets taxed in extras.

Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day, and we won a game tonight that we shouldn't have.

They demoted Lake and added Schlitter before the game. Being in the middle of a 20 game run I figured they would have to add a arm. With Denorfia back and Coghlan hitting well they could afford to lose Lake. In a pinch they move Bryant to the OF and plug Herrdia in at 3B.

Schlitter was shutting down hitters in AAA. Something to the tune of a 1.13 ERA in a closer role. So something started to click with him.

Karros may have been wrong. But the fact that some fans here say "the castro bashing party....everyone is doing it" is really, really sad. Analysts are paid to give their honest opinions. Why on earth would they decide to just bash a guy for no reason?

When everyone reaches the same conclusion, maybe the fans should take a listen. Maybe the fans need to realize they are not at all objective when evaluating the guy on the team they root for.

If you truly watch Starlin Castro play SS and don't see problems, you are not looking at it objectively. With the possible exception of Washington, no team has a SS who saves fewer runs defensively.

It's not a "bashing party". It is reality.
It is impossible for analysts and scouts to watch every game of every team/player. Most are honest and yet uninformed. The comment about the dirt was dumb as crap. Eric is better than that.

I like Maddon's quotes about Castro having a target on him.

Also, Castro has hit in 10 out of 12 this month. They say he has worked hard with Manny the past few days and he has driven the ball. Castro is a ground ball hitter, but he also has always hit doubles. He has hit barely any this year. I got a feeling he is going to go on XBH tear very soon. You would think the averages would come around. But, Ill take two game winners and a game tying home run in late pressure situations. He has 3 walk offs this year.
