SF Giants’ reliever Zack Littell optioned after heated mound visit with Gabe Kapler against Atlanta Braves
SAN FRANCISCO –Zack Littell was optioned to Triple-A in the hours following an altercation with Gabe Kapler during a pitching change against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
“I said that I wanted Olson,” Littell said. “Not that I pitched well enough to deserve that at all. Any guy out there is going to want to finish the inning he started. That’s all it was, frustration that I didn’t get through that. Not by any means frustration toward him, just frustration in myself.” “It was not handled the way I should have handled it or wanted to handle it,” Littell said. “Stuff like that gets caught up in the heat of competition sometimes. Obviously don’t view myself as that guy to lose control like that, but it’s a learning experience going forward.”
