My favorite Juan Castro pinch hit memory is this game:
Castro actually pinch hit for the Reds blockbuster offseason acquisition for that year, the pinch hit specialist John Vander Wal. The strangest part is that Castro actually tripled while pinch hitting for the team's designated pinch hitter.
That Cozart kid can play a little. Did I just say that?
These are the Cubs we've grown to know and love.
This game shows you contact is good.
Mes double play ties game, not a strikeout.
Heisey makes contact on the bunt, something good happens.
Hitting is good. Missing is bad. Even if not a line drive.
I like Rolen batting here. Seems like he always does good in these spots. Probably just jinxed it though
Incompetence trumps impotence
At the end of the year, it was just another mark in the win column...right?
