Craig Counsell: 'It is time to be a Cub' - Bleed Cubbie Blue

What Was Luis Castillo Up to in the Mariners dugout? MLB fans speculate as best they can.
Pitcher Luis Castillo of the Seattle Mariners was only trying to pass the time during the workday by amusing himself. When NESN cameras panned to Castillo in the bench during the eighth inning of the Boston Red Sox’s 3–2 extra-inning victory over the Mariners, they saw him acting strangely. The 31-year-old starter was sowing sunflower seeds along the edge of an oval-shaped hole he had made in the ground.

A teammate tried to smash his masterpiece with a rolled baseball, but Castillo stopped the ball in time, turned to face the other player, and grinned broadly. After that, he immediately returned to working on his masterwork.

Was it a graveyard or a garden for sunflower seeds? Or maybe some kind of ant-Colosseum at Fenway Park? Who knows? MLB fans, however, enjoyed speculating about the pitcher’s activities:

Castillo did not play in Wednesday’s Mariners defeat; on Tuesday, he began and pitched well, giving up three runs on six hits in six innings as Seattle defeated them 10–6.
Castillo has a 9–10 record, a 3.43 ERA, and 8.6 strikeouts per nine innings in 23 starts this season. It seems that he is also passionate about sunflower seed farming.
