"I just told him that was [expletive]," Castellanos said, according to Dave Uram of KYW Newsradio. "You're throwing a baseball over ninety miles an hour and you're frustrated and you're gonna throw at somebody.
"That's like my two-year-old throwing a fit because I take away his dessert before he's finished."

Phillies superstar also sounded off on the situation saying he did it on purpose.
"He hit him on purpose," Harper said. "It's not the game that we play man. It shouldn't be. Guys throw too hard nowadays. You're getting mad because a guy hits a homer off you or you blow the lead ... The whole thing really fired me up, really upset me. Just not something that you should accept as Major League Baseball."
Castellanos did not hold back on how he felt about the situation either.
"I think that he was just pissed off that his numbers got messed up," Castellanos added. "I can't explain it, I just know that he had relatively pretty good numbers going into that and just watching him, I could see him getting frustrated."
"He was just pissed off that he got hit around and his ERA shot through the roof."
