What the heck was that? 

It appears Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers just did a one-two step and threw directly at David DeJesus. 

The umpires discussed it and called a balk on Verlander. DeJesus had to head back to the plate and Daric Barton was awarded second base. 

Verlander tried to explain the whole thing to

Well, Justin, when you do a hop step before your pitch, people are going to notice. Had Verlander not thrown right at the feet of DeJesus, then maybe, just maybe he could’ve gotten away with it. I highly doubt it, though, because it sure was a strange situation.

Sometimes there’s more entertainment in the stands of PNC Park than on the field. 

A disruptive fan at the Pittsburgh Pirates game Saturday night was first beaten and tased by police and then arrested. It’s unclear what the fan was telling police, but the officers felt they were in great danger.

From PittsburghLive.com:

“We both feared for our safety.” city detective Francis Rende wrote in a criminal complaint filed yesterday.

“The PNC Park staff is well trained to ensure the safety of our fans to maintain the fan-friendly environment at PNC Park for all fans and followed PNC Park procedures last night when dealing with a disruptive guest,” [team spokesman Brian] Warecki said in a statement.

Scott J. Ashley, of Friendship Pennsylvania, wasn’t very friendly as the Pirates lost to the Colorado Rockies. The 41-year-old shoved a park staff member and then everything went down hill.

This video is outrageous. The police felt unsafe in all of this even though they were constantly beating the disorderly fan. The report says that Ashley was not affected by the taser, therefore they began to club him.

He is a big dude, so I understand the much-needed force. I think all cops with only taser guns freak out when the taser doesn’t work effectively on an individual. The shots to the neck and head are a little excessive, though. The police continue to beat Ashely, saying he fought back.

“I then tased (Ashley) but it had no effect on him,” [Officer Francis] Rende wrote. “I then physically grabbed (him) to place him under arrest, (he) was a very muscular man and fought with both of us. I kept activating the taser to no avail.” 

That’s not what I see in the video, buddy. I see the man unaffected by the taser and then clubbed to the neck. In the age of cell phone cameras, cops should report the facts. 

Is the excessive beating needed? You tell me. 

The best part of this is all the fans in the background reacting to the first clubbed hit and then quickly grabbing their cell phones to take pictures and videos. Kudos to the person who shot this video, though.
