Video: Carl Pavano Flips Out, Loses Mind, Goes Crazy, Etc. in Dugout

PrintWhen the Royals batter you like a pinata, it doesn't feel good. During Sunday's loss to the Royals, Twins pitcher Carl Pavano more or less lost it, went nuts, went crazy, flipped out, went berserk, etc. At one point Pavano grabbed multiple bats and started swinging. He put in some of the best hacks of any Twin this season. (hey-o)
But hey, Pavano's still got the ironic mustache going. So he'll fit in well when he enrolls in an MFA program, in 2005.
The video won't last long online, so it's best to see it while you can.
Pavano allowed twelve hits and seven runs to the Royals. Pavano's day of shame includes allowing multiple hits to Matt Treanor and Mitch Maier, surrendering a double to Alcides Escobar, and getting blasted by a Jeff Francoeur home run.
Perhaps worse for the Twins is the fact that the loss sent them to 9-18 on the season. Of course, because this is the Twins, somehow this is all Kevin Slowey's fault.

He pitched very badly
Should have taken the bat to his own head. That would have been interesting.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
I'm referring
not to the on-field eruption of that date, but to the fan-punching in-dugout expression of frustration. That was Tudor.

are the most self-deprecating fans in baseball, even in victory.
“Pavano’s day of shame includes allowing multiple hits to Matt Treanor and Mitch Maier, surrendering a double to Alcides Escobar, and getting blasted by a Jeff Francoeur home run.”
Born in Ohio. Chiefs and Royals fan for last 17 years. Yeah, not sure how that happend....
Refreshing, isn't it?

question for you royals fans
when do you think hosmer is coming up? Is it worth picking him up right now?
Choose me, Ash!
seriously?
June. And I’m with those that think that C-Rob comes up first anyway – so maybe September.
Nick Swisher is handsome.
what about moustakas?
i know he’s struggling right now, but any chance he comes up soon?
Choose me, Ash!
Doubt it...
…Betemit is doing just fine. Serviceable hitting out of 1B when Butler’s not DHing is the more glaring need.

I like the idea of them being "blocked" right now
Nothing is worse than just giving a prospect a job. Make them earn it!

why would Clint Robinson get the first shot?
Keeping in mind that neither was in AAA pre-2011, and that one could be a future cornerstone and one is 26 years old

Chairman, The Melky Cabrera Seasoning Sauce. It's great on your outfield!
I suppose the thinking is
that with Hosmer and Moustakas both working the kinks out at AAA, the Royals have little to lose by giving Robinson a shot first.

you seen Hosmer's AAA line lately?
as for Moustakas, I love how we’re giving 93 PA more weight than the 236 PA from last year that were pretty good. There’s no reason to really be worried there
How much time does Clint Robinson get before he gets dealt or demoted? because that’s how it would end. This isn’t Little League

Yes, I have
and it’s great that he’s hitting .410. His isolated power is pretty low, though, so I’d like to see him find his power stroke a bit more before a call-up. You disagree?
As for Moustakas, I’m NOT weighting his performance this year more heavily – I’d just like to see him hitting well. With both of these guys, I don’t see the point in rushing them if the organization feels they’re not quite ready.
Robinson’s hit pretty well, and it wouldn’t hurt anything to give him a chance at some point unless the Royals keep sweeping everyone and we actually make a playoff push. I’m not necessarily saying he should get a shot at the expense of Moose or Hosmer, I was just attempting to parse ChrisCEIT’s thinking.

Well, it sorta kinda would hurt to give Robinson a shot
If we think Hosmer’s right behind him…because then Kila won’t have gotten a full look, and Robinson will get much less of a look than that. I don’t think it’s fair to either of them — the best bet with Robinson for him personally and for the organiztion is to trade him to a team with a need for more hitting in their organization.
You want optimism? My glass is half full of emptiness.
I am not so sure Mous is ready
His OBP in AAA has been 314 and 304 respectively. Seems like he could work a lot on his ability to take a walk and get on base. But then again, what do I know?
As far ass Robinson goes, I doubt he gets much of a look. He is barely younger than Kila and his minor league numbers are pretty similar. Maybe he can get swapped for a prospect.
Regardless, offense is not the Royals’ weakness. We need better SP.
I like how that other Twins player kinda scooted out of the way
“Uh oh, Carl’s raging…lemme just…squeak by…not get hit…”

Here's something that has no basis in fact but sure seems like it in my brain
Consider this — how many vids/stories have you read in baseball for the last, oh, 10 years, about players doing crazy things in the dugout — hitting the Gatorade cooler, throwing bats, saying Lindsay Lohan just needs help and is, deep down inside, a good person…you know, insane stuff.
Anyhow, it just seems like those stories in baseball far outweigh those same stories in football, a much more violent and…ah, PED-laced…sport. Sure, they get to act out their aggression on the field a lot, but I wonder sometimes why it seems we have such ready example of guys going nuts in dugouts in baseball, but not doing the same on the sidelines in football.
You want optimism? My glass is half full of emptiness.
doesnt happen as often
in football its probably because like you said they get to work their aggression out on the field where as baseball you dont. That and in football its maybe grab a helmet and toss it then sit on the bench and pout not to exciting where as baseball you have the bat and multiple targets always makes it funner to watch therefor shown more
Yep, could very well be
And it’s also harder to have cameras on all that NFL sideline looking for something amongst 100 people there than it is in baseball among the 30 people in that small dugout.
You want optimism? My glass is half full of emptiness.
Not to mention...
that all football players
are college educated gentlemen who spent time becoming versed in ethics, philosophy, and anthropology at some of the best centers of learning in the entirety of human history

Accepted part of the culture
Why do we let managers go apeshit and act like total buffoons on umpires, when that behavior in any other workplace setting would get you fired on the spot?

well we do call athletes role models
maybe us normal folk should start acting more like athletes in our work places :)
I think Charles Barkley had it right
And athletes shouldn’t be held us as role models. (Doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be cognizant that they, realistically, are in many kids’ eyes, though.)

Carl in Kansas City they prefer their crazy more Needle in the Hay and phantom toe injury-like

I've never understood exactly why
when some people see a ragefit like this, they’ll point out “at least he cares.” Of course he cares – he made thousands of dollars to suck out loud at the job he’s been doing his entire life today. :P
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
Just from my playing days
At a really low level granted, but the guys that went apeshit and took things so hard to me seemed to be the most high-strung guys that just were on edge all the time. And big time douches.
You can care and not behave like an ass. Look at all the guys in the Hall of Fame – most of them didn’t throw a three year old tantrum when things weren’t going well.

ok, seriously ...
unless and until this team “goes south” and starts to resemble the Royals of Old (last year, for example) I’d be content to just leave well enough alone til about Sept
