How is Castro supposed to qualify for the batting title
If Barney’s taking his PAs?

For sure!
and why is Colvin sitting?

why is Castillo sitting is an even better question

Calling him Clutche is an insult.
A lovely story:
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....
But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The end
Hit-and-run fail
