My mind is going blank at the moment, but I recall someone on our team and Jurrjens having an incident a few years ago. Was it Theriot? I honestly don't remember.

Stuck listening to Chip. He explained what happened in the Castro play last night, but he had to preface it by saying that Castro made a real head-scratcher (RIZZO!!) and emphasizing his reputation for being stupid in the field. :?

He and Rizzo can spin it however they want but even if he was waiting for Rizzo to get to the bag there was no reason to not at least take a couple steps toward first and get some momentum going for the throw. To handle it the way he did was not a smart defensive play.
