Castillo settling in....


x 3

Nice inning! Exactly what I was looking for.

[DavidGee24]

Only two innings but I'm not seeing an Ace yet.

I don't know that he has ever really been an ace. 3.62 Career ERA. Solid but he's never been under 3 until this year. Even this year he was at 3.71 on June 22 and just got hot recently. He is probably a #2 on a typical World Series contending team.

Will be interesting too to see how pitching in T-Mobile park will effect his ERA also.

I was about to comment on that, but I just looked and he's actually been better at home in Cincinnati than on the road, oddly enough. He is on pace for a 6 WAR this year and that's really close to ace material.

Yeah, maybe I have been absorbing the hype a bit too much.

Remember Castillo was throwing in a bandbox. Here are his home road splits for his career

He was actually significantly better at home.

hahahah yup, I love that he's helping us pass the Jays for the 1 WC spot from the inside. Keep it up Yusei!!

Actually he wasn't. His opp slg on the road is 90 pts lower than the home slug.
