LOL at idiot Reds manager. Pitching to Castro with Baxter on deck.
Well in his defense, they weren't exactly trying to pitch to Castro. The catcher was set up about 8 inches off the outside corner on all three pitches. Badenhop executed terribly and threw 2 of those 3 pitches over the plate.
With as much of a free swinger as Castro can be, I can't fault a manager for trying to get Castro to swing at balls that are 6-8 inches off the plate. Keep in mind there was only one out. If you walk Castro and Baxter doesn't hit into a double play you have to face Miguel Montero and he has been en fuego recently. I would rather try to get Castro to chase balls than have to throw strikes to Montero right now.

Castro was hot all series. Baxter didn't foul one off all game.
If Baxter gets out in a nonDP, you walk Montero to get to the pitcher spot.
Hindsight always 20/20 though.
