Amaro is such a clown. Count is 2-1, and the right-handed pitcher throws a low and away slider to Castellanos and he lays off it to make it 3-1. Amaro immediately glazes.
"Now that is a great take! At the end of the year last year you're used to seeing Nick swing at those and either miss or make soft contact. But lately he's been taking those pitches which is a great sign."
Next pitch, at 3-1, is another slider out of the zone. Swing and a miss. Amaro makes excuses. "Well that one was a little more up, it was much more competitive. On a fastball count you figure Nick got fooled there."
Next pitch, now 3-2, is another slider in the same spot. He reaches out at it and makes soft contact, pulling it to 3rd for the easy ground out.
Silence from Amaro
