Between sending Castro against Cespedes on the Baez hit and having Russell continue to 3rd on his hit, with 2 outs already in the inning (never make the 1st or last out of an inning at 3rd, and it was a close play) I have to say, he has done a bad job of coaching 3rd base in the playoffs. I would have held Catro and either had someone pinch hit for Ross, or had Ross bunt Castro in and Baez to 2nd. In any case, the send was a bad idea and not having Russell stop at 2nd was stupid. He was already in scoring position there. Forget that he got hurt going to 3rd, I am focusing on the risk-reward aspect of having him continue to 3rd.
Ross didn't need a hit..he just needed to hit a fly ball to anyone but cespedes.. Third base coach has to go..he's an idiot.. Castro is a slow, poor base runner.
