Wow. At first I misread your post and thought you said Daytona, so I was wondering if Hill was involved.

Kenney on the Cubs game said Vitters would be playing for the Chiefs at Wrigley... maybe he's just uninformed?

Depending on the forthcoming suspensions, he might be right.

Maybe...but after a 71 min delay they reversed ALL the ejections...an we are playing again...for the record Castillo, Rosa, Guyer, Merceds, Andersen, Vento and Santana were ejected...along with Interim Manager Carmelo Martinez

[Jon]

Hill recovered, I suppose:

 

5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 4-3 GO-FO

 

Not what I wanted to see.

Guyer's been raring to go. Wow.

There have been rumors of that going around.

at least he didn't walk anyone in his last two innings... gotta celebrate the small victories where you can get them with hill.

[Rob]

Vitters sitting out tonight too. :banghead:

[sporrer17]

Samson is 2-3 with 3 SB and an RBI. He stole 2nd and 3rd in the first, and stole 2nd later in the game.

 

Other than that, not much noise from the Chiefs tonight. A few hits here and there, only XBH was a double by Mercedes.

 

Rosa is 0-3 with 3 Ks.

Gian Guzman broke his leg in Dayton.

 

Julio Castillo hit a fan with a thrown ball during the brawl. The fan was rushed to the hospital.

 

Nasty, nasty episode.

:shock:

[Guest]

Oh, sorry. Gian Guzman broke his leg colliding with Julio Castillo on a play.

Trouble may have started in the top of the first when Dayton pitcher Kyle Lotzkar hit the second batter, Nate Samson.

 

That half-inning ended without further incident, but when Cozart came to bat as Dayton's second batter — with a runner on first — he was drilled in the left side of the helmet by a Julio Castillo pitch.

 

Cozart fell to the ground immediately and eventually was helped to the dugout, finished for the evening.

 

 

Dayton's next batter, Angel Cabrera, was hit with a pitch, reacting angrily by throwing his bat and batting gloves toward his dugout. When Keltavious Jones, Dayton's next batter, hit a grounder to second, Cabrera slid into second, legs high, to break up the double play.

 

Now Peoria shortstop Nate Samson reacted angrily, gesturing it was too rough a slide.

 

Castillo then threw a pitch close to Brandon Menchaca's head, prompting Dayton manager Donnie Scott to leave the third base coaching box and complain to home plate umpire Tyler Wilson.

 

That prompted interim Peoria manager Carmelo Martinez to join the conversation, which quickly became heated, and when Martinez pushed Scott, the benches emptied.

 

Several fights broke out behind home plate, and Castillo threw a ball that sailed into the stands behind the Dragons' dugout, hitting a fan who had to be taken to a hospital.

 

Menchaca jumped on Castillo and eventually both managers and 15 players — including eight Dragons — were ejected from the game.

 

Those ejected from the Dragons were starting outfielders Justin Reed and Phipps, Kevin Feiner (who was taking the place of Cozart), starting catcher Devin Mesoraco and pitchers Henry Arias, Jeremy Horst, Jeff Jeffords and Luis Montano.

Wonder what would have happened if Ryno was there.

It seems like #5 (Justin Reed) for Dayton was really getting into it.

Walt Jocketty was in the stands for all this.

An obviously different view point from the Chiefs' side of it

 

Angel Cabrera was then hit by a pitch in the arm and after throwing his bat down, he started jawing at Castillo on his way to first. Kel Jones bounced into a fielders choice to second and Cabrera went in hard, spikes up, on Nate Samson. As Cabrera walked off the field, the players jawed and then Dragons manager Donnie Scott started yelling at Castillo and Samson from the third base coaches box. Chiefs Interim Manager Carmelo Martinez came out of the dugout to confront the Dragons skipper, and he and Scott had an animated discussion down the third base line. The players began jawing as well and it quickly turned into a full-blown, benches-clearing brawl. As all the players from both teams converged around the Dragons dugout, punches were thrown and players hit the ground. By time the umpires finally gained control, they handed out 15 ejections. After multiple conversations with both coaching staffs, substitutions were announced an both teams were ready to put two pitchers in the outfield. The umpires then disappeared into the clubhouse and returned 10 minutes later to announce that all of the ejections were reversed. Play resumed with Chris Siegfried on the hill for the Chiefs, 69 minutes after the brawl ended.

I just saw the video.

 

Castillo has to get cut for what he did. I don't care how much a guy gets you angry, you don't chuck a baseball at him at point blank range.

[Guest]

Looks like Castillo was aiming at the Dragons dugout, not randomly throwing the ball at fans. Still unacceptable:

 

Martinez and Scott appeared to make contact before Castillo fired a ball toward the Dragons dugout. The ball ricocheted into the crowd and both benches and bullpens emptied.
