Illinois Times -- More details of the Zambrano, Wieters fight are coming to light. In this grainy cell-phone photograph provided by an unnamed Georgia player, you can see the extent of Matt's injuries. Apparently, the Roadkill trainer had to rub an extremely strong salve all over Wieters face to try to heal the damage inflicted by a raging Z.
The fight appears to have originated when Wieters refused to try to catch Zambrano's out pitch (a slider) with a speedy runner on first. According to the Georgia player who provided this photograph, when Zambrano went to talk to Weiters about pitch selection, Wieters said, "I have a lot of money to be made in this sport and I do not want to be regarded as a Piazza. I will throw guys out, and if high heat is what it takes to make my arm appear a little better, high heat is what the 'Kill staff will throw."
Zambrano and Wieters have yet to comment on the incident. But from the photo above, it appears that Matt had more injuries than the slight swelling above Zambrano's eye.
