Despite turning their performance around on the field to the tune of a five-game winning streak following their victory on Monday, it was revealed a day later that manager Rob Thomson had benched Nick Castellanos for Tuesday’s game after the star outfielder made an “inappropriate comment” following getting pulled from Monday’s contest. It was a defensive substitution in a close game, something that happens all the time in baseball when a skipper wants to put their best defenders on the field. Castellanos took exception to it and voiced his opinion, and then Thomson responded with the one-game benching.
