You let Castillo put the first two guys on, get to 50 pitches, then you bring in the "closer": in a game and series you expect to win on the way to the playoffs you totally let fan sentiment and your own feel good BS blow a game.Robin vibes 100%.Closer should have been in to start that inning 100%

That is some White Sox style logic. No, you have to try and put the team in the best position to win. This half assed demotion for Castillo helped lose them one last night. Oh well, we'll take not being the dumbest guy in the room on a nightly basis.

Let's let him work the 9th in this close game haha Once Miller gave them the performance he did, the "piggyback" should have gone out the window.

Wednesday at 05:22 PM3 days There was no problem using Castillo in relief. But look at that 9th inning. Mune, Vargas, Colson due up. That's where you either go get a trusted lefty (may have already burned their only one?) or just your most trusted reliever, period. If you're up by three, sure keep Castillo stretched out and maybe give him some momentum. But it's a 1-run game. I bet Munoz's poor start to the season played a role in the decisionmaking too.

And I know it bothers closers too as it's outside their routine. Munoz has been poor but if the closer is the closer you let him do his thing, not "piggy back" off another reliever, like apparently the Ms are trying.
