has starlin castro officially retired?

Funny, I was going to name Starlin Castro as a potential free agent we could sign in that other thread, but I was afraid some of you older posters would have a heart attack at the thought of yet another Castro on the team.

By the way, guys, I know it's a little late for this, but if click on settings for the game and choose Audio track (3)/Away, you get the Dan Dickerson call.

And, regrettably, Craig Monroe.

lol c-mo saying he would totally give the .172-hitting Eric Haase the green light on a 3-0 pitch in a ninth-inning tie game.

[mtutiger]

Carlos Pena is solid.... go get him for the TV broadcast!

[buddha]

and the tigers are kicking up their heels here in the 9th...

[mtutiger]

Alright Harold, don't turn back into a pumpkin just yet lol

[buddha]

screwed again

[Nerb]

Pain

[buddha]

cause why would a future hall of famer get the benefit of the doubt on a borderline pitch (that was clearly a ball)?

[mtutiger]

Didn't like subbing out Harold there... splits be damned

Maybe Harold gets a hit and scores two?

[buddha]

cant wait to see the ump report that will say the tigers didnt get screwed in this game because there was some call in the 4th inning that went their way so it all evened out.

Harold was slashing .400/.455/.700 in 11 trips to the plate this year and already had a three-hit day with two homers. I think he deserved the benefit of the doubt to take that at bat.

maybe he strikes out or hits into a double play becsuse the odds of harold doing three great things at the plate in one game are not amazing.

miggy worked a walk but got screwed by a bad call.

[buddha]

and now soto is getting squeezed.

As Chas suggests, Harold's splits should earn him a benefit of the doubt.

The call sucks, I get it, but it wasn't a move I agree with either way.

harold's career split is 231/256/265.  i'm pretty sure his .400 avg in 11 at bats this year is the anaomaly.

i was fine with it, but i can see the other side.  harold was having a good day.

Hey ya know what makes sense? Still trotting out the human gascan who has no business closing in high leverage situations anymore.

Also, on a sidenote, does Chrill Illitch actually have a functional brain with thoughts or does he have people for that?

[mtutiger]

Looking like another one run loss in Minnesota lol

Heh, that would have been nice to have realized a while ago. Instead I spent the whole game fighting to get Youtube synced with mlb.com.

[mtutiger]

Given the relative strength of the bullpen, this is probably a win to finally get to an extra innings game..... but they still gotta score at least one run lol

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

haha, "zombie runner"

[buddha]

jeimar!!!!!

JEEEEIIIII-MERRRRRR!
