| 5/16/24 | After two days of mental lapses, Willi Castro gets vote of confidence from manager. Rocco Baldelli considered taking Willi Castro out on Wednesday night. He opted against it.

The next ball in the inning was hit toward Castro, as well, and after catching it, the utilityman let out a visible show of frustration, chucking the ball up at an advertisement atop the center field stands. “He obviously told me he was thinking about taking me out, but he said he wasn't going to do that,” Castro said. “I really appreciate that. To be honest, I don't know what I was thinking. Source: https://www.twincities.com/2024/05/16/after-two-da... |
