MLB Network just gave a live look-in during the last two AB's against Axford. Dan Plesac called the final two pitches to Castro right on the nose. The mental exercises he went through were exactly why I loved pitching. He said Axford has been having trouble getting the curve over for strikes. When it was 2-0 on Castro, Plesac was saying what a horrible feeling that is when you know you are a one-pitch pitcher at the moment. He said Axford knew the fastball was the only thing he could get over and of course, Castro knew that, too, and would be teeing off. Got a fastball on 2-0 and Castro just missed, fouling it back. On 2-1, Plesac went all next-level thinking and said Axford should try the curve again, figuring Castro would be sitting dead red and maybe Axford could take advantage of his aggressiveness and get him to hack at one. Sure enough, Castro misses a curve in the dirt. Final pitch, Plesac said he should now go back to the fastball and elevate it. Bam. Hit 95 MPH on that last one, btw.
