Pitching on only 2 days' rest, after throwing 35 pitches in an outing against the Red Sox on Sunday.

One of the 2 hits that he ceded today could have (and should have) been caught.

Can he get this movement on his fb intentionally or consistently. 2 move like screwballs & one sinks like a ZB fb. Saved the best for last. 

 

That last one was absolutely filthy.  Where are the strikeouts?  He should be striking out twice as many batters as he currently is.

Castro has been unbelievably valuable to this team.

I don't want him to start. Teams not preparing for him helps, he throws strikes, a great long man is as valuable as an average starter.

He's absolutely been gangster for us! A guy who can come in for several innings and bridge the gap while keeping the other team off the board.

I don't think he can do that intentionally. If that ever changes ?

He's almost got just as much value doing this every 3 games than starting. I'd like to see us get a real SP and replace Ubaldo. I think Castro would excel, but I just like him in the super reliever role.

Yup. The offense is good enough that when a starter gets knocked out early it's very rarely 'junk time.' Hold the other team at 5-7 runs and the offense has a chance to come back.

Funny thing is that Keller is 25 and Castro is 22.
