Sheesh, what happened to Castillo?

Sheesh, what happened to Castillo?

 

Not sure but knowing our luck, he’ll break out today and absolutely dominate.

[young guns]

Reading the blurb under his picture, it sounds like he started to put things together in his last start, so probably will no hit us today.

I'm usually not someone to get excited about why CC sits a guy after just hitting a homer, but... I would have liked to have seen Urias at third base today. His OBP+/SLG+/wRC+ for the last 7 days leads the team at 144/148/186. Shaw is quite the opposite. He's at the bottom of the list (only ahead of Yeli) at the same + slash line of 77/15/12. I know the lefty/righty thing doesn't support this lineup, but Urias may still have some fire in the belly after the trade. Let's ride that.

Agreed...Urias and Shaw have a very comparable stat line vs RHP this year so would rather CC goes with recent trends over the left/righty lineup. Hopefully saying this pregame though will lead to Shaw knocking in 3 or 4 today.

[RollieTime]

Adames should be hitting 5th or 6th. Not Shaw or Vogelbach.

[RollieTime]

Glad it worked out here. I was disappointed to see Adames on deck with the bases loaded and hitting 7th.

[RollieTime]

Adames is so good he hit it twice! And got a 2 out, 2 RBI single out of it too!

[folly412]

Sheesh, what happened to Castillo?

 

You know things are really off the rails when he's faced the Brewers offense for one inning and this is still an open question.

[roadcrew3]

Yelich atleast smoked that ball in his AB. Unlucky that wasn't a hit

[adambr2]

This Adames guy is working out good so far.

[RollieTime]

The two guys who hit home runs yesterday find the bench today. Urias finding the bench after a walk, double, and homerun in his last two games when it’s a young player struggling. He has reverse splits too. Way to give the kid confidence Counsell.

Not so much in the field.

[jjfanec]

Peralta has been wild so far. Only 10 strikes on 23 pitches

Looking like one of those days where he’s going to have trouble going 6 innings.

You’re still banging this drum?

Yep. Hoping he is still under 40 pitches by the time the 2nd is done here

I also wonder why Urias isn't in the lineup considering his stats over the past week, as mentioned earlier in the thread, are pretty solid and him and Shaw have almost the same statline vs RHP, negating the lefty/righty matchup. Not sure I'll ever find myself arguing for more Robertson though

[BruisedCrew]

Exactly 40 pitches and he had to work really hard that inning. Unless he can come back with a quick inning or two I think he’ll be out after 5.

[adambr2]

Long ways to get back to the Yelich we know but a couple encouraging ABs from him so far today.

[folly412]

Pay off pitch

Pay off pitch

Pay off pitch again

Pay off pitch

 

I kind of hope Lepay has a brain fart and yells "First down!" just to break the monotony.

That is all fine. RollieTime repeatedly argues that Counsell always benches a player after a good game when it has been shown to not be true.

[Eye Black]

Glad they drew Luis Castillo this series.

[adambr2]

Just a mirage or starting to see signs of the team turnaround we've all been waiting for ?
