Rodolfo Castro apologized on Tuesday night after his cell phone fell out of his back pocket during a headfirst slide into third base in the fourth inning of Pittsburgh’s 6-4 loss to Arizona at Chase Field. The Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for violating Major League Baseball’s electronic device policy. He elected to appeal.
Pittsburgh Pirates manager defended Rodolfo Castro after the incident letting everyone know that if one stays in a game several things fall upon which haven’t seen before, seriously Derek Shelton? He also pointed out that Castro is just a kid who made a mistake and will be informed about his actions.
“I don’t think there’s any professional baseball player that ever goes out there with the intention of taking a cell phone,” Rodolfo Castro told reporters. “It’s horrible that it happened to me. Obviously, it was very unintentional.’
“In all reality, I just remember getting dressed, putting my pants on, getting something to eat, using the restroom. Never did it ever cross my mind that I still had my cell phone on me.”

Rodolfo Castro issued his statement with respect to the phone incident and one game suspension
Rodolfo Castro’s explanation of what happened with his phone at third base, via team interpreter Mike Gonzalez, “I went out there, put my sliding pad in my pocket, never felt my phone and just went out there and what happened. To be honest with you, I don’t think there’s any professional ball player that would ever even go out there with any intentions of taking a cell phone. It’s horrible that it happened to me.”
Rodolfo Castro continued, “Obviously, it was very unintentional, I didn’t do this at all in any way or form, it’s something I didn’t even know I had on me. And to be completely honest with you, I feel horrible. The last thing I wanted was to be the center of attention in this form. “
Rodolfo Castro understood his mistake and concluded, “Obviously, coming right back, getting called up again, my first day back, if I was to be the center of attention, I would want it to be helping the team win, but never in this form. This is definitely something that was an accident, a mistake, something I’m going to learn from. But definitely something that I didn’t mean to happen.”
