I have to agree with you, with all due respect to other people, there are more Castro blind supporters now than supposed Castro haters, imo. In the playoffs, runs are hard to come by against great pitching. It's defense that usually makes a difference. Castro is just not our best defender, period, no matter what he does with the bat.
This is why he lost the starting SS job. Maddon recognizes it as everyone else should. As far as the bunt, that's on Maddon, imo. Players should be able to bunt, period. It is somewhat of a lost art today. Yes, it was a good bunt, but it was the element of surprise, or manufacturing of a run that was the bigger call, imo.
