Previously on Outside the Boxscore, we showed you a clip of Giants pitcher Santiago Casilla drawing a walk with his unique batting stance. Well, Casilla had to bat during the extra inning affair between the Brewers/Giants and showed again that he doesn't like standing batters box: Your browser does not support iframes.

Santiago Casilla: Afraid of Hitting

Need proof of why MLB should get rid of pitchers hitting and implement the DH for both leagues? Take a look at Giants Pitcher Santiago Castilla’s putrid attempt at hitting in a game earlier this week vs the Brewers (jump to the 1:02 mark). That was pretty horrible…but despite looking completely inept at the plate I’m slightly impressed that Casilla fouled a ball...

Giants P Casilla jumps out of batter's box

Here is the video of San Francisco Giants pitcher Santiago Casilla taking an at-bat in the 14th inning last night against the Brewers.Look at how far away he tries to stand from the batter's box. Casilla is not used to hitting at all and he is very scared of getting hit by the pitcher. The fun begins around the 1:05 mark of the video. Here is another at-bat from...

We Sure Showed RamRam

Apparently closer by committee isn’t just something managers say. When Santiago Casilla was removed from the 9th inning after giving up a leadoff infield single to Jason Bay, anything was in play. Including clearing out the bench. Every position player saw action at some point across the 10 innings, with Dan Otero being the lone pitcher to not get into the game. Much of the...

2012 Waiver Wire – Week 3

The big pickup of the week on the fantasy baseball waiver wire is Santiago Casilla of the San Francisco Giants who is now the main closer with Brian Wilson lost for the season. Sergio Romo could also see a smattering of save chances but Casilla looks like the guy for now to go after in mixed league formats. In addition to Casilla, here are some other names to consider adding to your...

SF Giants Rumors: Bumgarner, Casilla, Sandoval, Posey, Etc…

The San Francisco Giants are back in the win column! The new $35 million dollar man (Madison Bumgarner) gets the win to improve his record (2-1).   With closer Brian Wilson likely out for the season. The Giants gave the ball to Santiago Casilla to get the save, and he was able to get the job done without a real scare. Shortstop Brandon Crawford did make a sweet play for the final...

Fantasy Impact: Casilla Closes and Diamondbacks Hurting

It looks like Santiago Casilla is going to be the closer for now as he picked up the Giants’ first save since Brian Wilson‘s injury. While Casilla converted the save with no issues, I don’t really like him as a pitcher and think Sergio Romo is the much better option in the long term. I’m not saying to go pick up Romo now because if we’ve learned anything...

Daily Notes | Santiago Casilla Closing

When Brian Wilson went down everyone's first assumption was that the saves would then go to Sergio Romo, but as our own Josh Shepardson reported initially, not so fast. Casilla's 6 saves last year compared to Romo's three career saves proves that he has more "closing experience" and thus the decision to throw him in in the 9th yesterday and any day now. It did...
