Nathan throws Castellanos under the bus

[Howie115]

"The big out there was getting Jaso," Nathan said. "You get him and it changes everything. It changes how you approach Donaldson. It changes how you pitch to him. It gives me a chance to play with him a little bit. When we didn't get Jaso, it put us in a tough spot."

This is what Joe Nathan said, regarding the single that was lined off Castellanos' glove just prior to the Donaldson 3-run jack.

Yeah, it's a play that Nick should have made. But Joe ignores the fact that he pitched to two batters, and both batters SCORCHED the ball off him. Also, Joe, Nick makes the major league minimum. You are being paid $10 million a year to get the team out of "tough spots" in the 9th. Look in the mirror. You have 4 blown saves already, and you're not missing bats. Calling out a young teammate like this is BUSH LEAGUE.

Was a bad comment by Nathan. He gets paid 9 million a year and should have overcame the situation period.. Yes Nick C sucked as well.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Yup. Act like a vet.

 

[kengel6]

And dress like one too.

How about not throwing mean balls over to hit.

This guy has a long way to go at 3rd base. Flubs another today and won't lay off outside curve balls. I thought he was the second coming of Miggy. Guess again, guess again.

I thought he was the second coming of Miggy.

Umm.... I wouldn't think ANYONE thought that. I think most thought good hit/average-to-below average field.

Umm.... I wouldn't think ANYONE thought that. I think most thought good hit/average-to-below average field.

I think he will be a .280 hitter with 25 and 85 yearly.

Make it Number 5, this guy is a washed up bum ripping the Tig's off.
