Top Defensive Plays | CHC@HOU: Castro robs Johnson with superb diving stop - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
For those of you that are lazy and don't want to find it for yourself. Here is the Castro play.
Wood is taken down after 5.2 of 1 earned run ball for guess who.
that was a quick hook. Not like Lee been hitting ball hard
look at that. a bad pickoff throw
now at 2B with 2 outs. just a single now
Again I don't mind the move to the pen with Wood still finding himself at the big league level. I think it isn't a terrible idea to get him out of there before Carlos Lee changes the game with one swing.
Now i can even question the move more lol
And it backfires on Sveum, but I think the quick hook was due to Wood's struggles in spring training.
I don't think it was a bad call on Sveum's part. I think Sveum wanted to get Wood before any damage with how he had thrown the ball. It didn't work out, but I am not certain that means it was the wrong call. As you said Camp had real good numbers against Lee, but Lee was able to take some awfully close pitches to get a walk.
There is some hope though. Cubs have scored 4 runs in 9th inning 3 of last 5 games. Whats crazy is scoring the 4 runs in 9th inning in 3 games have come in all loses. Dont see that much i bet. Usually if you score 4 runs in 9th usually you have some kind of comeback win. Atleast Cubs can hit mop-up pitchers
Castro for the love of god. With Campy at 1B you have to take 1 or 2 pitches
Campana better go on first pitch because that is all he is going to get before Castro swings.
That play was awesome than terrible than awesome than terrible than awesome.
I give umpire huge credit. Would have been so easy to call him out
WOw 4 K's for Castro
Time to move out of 3 hole?
I will post the the highlight as soon as it is available. I am sure it will be there.
Castro Ks with runners on yet again.
