Chicago – Maybe White Sox manager Paul Molitor is on to something. Either that or he hasn’t updated his hitting charts on the Tigers.
Either way, he’s been getting away with it so far.
Three times in the first two games of this series, Molitor has walked Victor Martinez intentionally to get to Nick Castellanos.
He did it twice on Friday night, and was possibly trying to do it semi-intentionally another time, only Martinez foiled it by swinging at a 3-0 pitch.
“He’s done it a lot,” Castellanos said.
Castellanos is hitting .298 on the season, Martinez .
