I don't have a problem with the move, but it strikes me as odd. I didn't see Rusin as next in line, especially to replace a righty, especially when Wright hasn't been used in a week.
Platooning is awesome. Lake is terrible. I don't even care about the bunts thing I guess because it honestly isn't that much difference. Until you get down to measuring like hundredths of a run per successful bunt, it's essentially a neutral play.
anytime we go to st louis and win the first game i am instantly thrilled we didn't get swept I want to sweep them and get to .500 and send them into a tailspin
He's excellent defensively. I get that his pitch framing has been bad, but someone needs to explain to me how 7 strikes equals a run because I really am in the dark when it comes to this. The first thing you have to understand is that every ball not in the dirt or over the batters' head is Castillo's fault.
