Minor League Brawl

by the goat…Wow. By now you’ve probably seen Julio Castillo fire this ball at the opposing teams dugout during a minor league brawl. It ricocheted into the stands and hit a fan. Here’s an excerpt from the ESPN story.

The fan was taken to the hospital after being hit by a ball thrown by Peoria (Cubs) pitcher Julio Castillo, who was throwing at the Dayton (Reds) dugout but missed during the first-inning melee between Midwest League teams.

The fan, who remains unidentified, was treated at Miami Valley Hospital and released, said hospital spokeswoman Nancy Thickel. She didn’t know the extent of the fan’s injuries.

Castillo was arrested and faces one count of felonious assault. He is in the Montgomery County Jail and has a court appearance Friday.

And now the video:

All the baseball writers are saying this is the most disturbing thing they have seen in baseball. Now I have to admit this is disturbing, but in reality it is just the act of a total wuss. You learn not to throw shit in a fight in like first grade. This Castillo fellow is obviously a sociopath.

That said, sociopath’s to me are much less disturbing than psychopaths. Sociopaths are just dumb and don’t know any better, they can smarten up. Psychopaths on the other hand know that what they are doing is insane, but do it anyway.

In my book this video of ex-Red Sox player Izzy Alcantara is the most disturbing thing ever to happen in a baseball game, not to mention the funniest shit on the planet. Izzy is incredibly diabolical, pre-meditated and precise in his plan and execution of this lunacy. It has to be more disturbing than the heat of the moment jackassery that Castillo pulled.

I mean come on, a karate kick to the catcher to make sure he can’t get him from behind, and with no hesitation a sprint to the mound to behead the pitcher? Sorry Julio but Izzy “belongs in Alcatraz” Alcantara has you by a mile.
