Cohen is right. When the LF made the catch, it was the 2nd out of the inning. The out at 2nd would not be a force play, it would have been the 3rd out of the inning. If Castro touches home before the 3rd out is made, the run counts. If he touches home after the 3rd out, it doesn't matter because the inning is over.
Good explanation, you have semi redeemed yourself.

This is wrong... right? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
If it is a force play then it doesn't matter if Castro has already crossed the plate because force outs take precident and thus the run would not score.
Your explaniation is the one that Cohen was making, but that I believe is wrong.

No, a force play is the first out. For example, lets say you got a guy on first and one out. The hitter hits a ground ball to 3rd and he throws out the runner at 2nd but doesn't get the guy out at 1st. The runner at 1st was forced out. You can't assume the 2nd out. You can only assume the 1st out.
