Castillo struggled in 2020 and is awful so far in 2021.  Announcers say it, he does NOT challenge hitters.  Bob Gibson is best example of nasty attitude, this is my mound and my game, and going after hitters.  Castillo is all Mister Happy on mound nibbling at the plate and falling behind in the count. He does not attack with his talent.  The better pitchers have an attitude, Castillo is smiling and Mellow as he gets beat.   Announcers are seeing it.  He does NOT challenge and attack the hitters and get ahead on the count.

On India hit in head again, let us not forget Molina the catcher who ordered up the pitch.  Would Molina want a Red hit in the head ? You better believe it.  Bell thrown out of game over it, and a good throw out rhubarb.  Maybe Bell needs to go Lou Piniella and throw a base into outfield or yell at ump over India hit to wake Reds up.

I have dumped Garrett from all Fantasy Teams.  One Team I had Castillo, no longer, I just dumped him. There are too many pitchers doing better than Castillo in free agency in that League, so Adios.  Gray I have on many teams, and I give him extra time due to injury, but May 15th he better be going or I drop him. I have no problem dumping Reds not producing every year. There are 29 other teams of players.

Exactly

He's trying way to hard to be cute with his pitches on the edge of the zone and it gets him in trouble. We need Castillo to figure it out in a hurry !
