Detroit Tigers: Nicholas Castellanos and the flying helmet

In Wednesday’s game against the Angels, the Detroit Tigers third baseman was pulled so that Andrew Romine could pinch run for him.

When Castellanos returned to the dugout, he threw his helmet against the wall. The helmet bounced back and hit Miguel Cabrera in the face. The Tigers universe immediately showed its concern about Castellanos’s attitude and Cabrera’s safety.

In response to the action that was captured on video by Fox Sports Detroit, fans called for punishment to Castellanos. Some wanted him to sit for a game and some even suggested that he be sent down to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens for an attitude-adjustment lesson.
