I get it, but it's frustrating because Castro had no chance.  None.  At all.  You have a better chance of Gomez hitting a flair on a half swing than Castro making contact against a tough lefty.

I would have PH for Castro and had Stassi catch the 9th. I ain't the manager though.

I agree.  I think had it been tied or the Astros down, that's what would have happened.  But Hinch probably figured with a lead, having Castro behind the plate is more important.  At least that's my guess.

Angels get an unearned run in the 9th, walk off 5-4.

So the Astros stay tied for the second wild card spot.

Where did the Angels miss 2 games?

ETA:  Nevermind.  Only one game, and they play it Thursday against the Rangers.
