"He threw at him on purpose, OK?" Garfinkel told an estimated crowd of 40 or 50 at Petco Park on Friday, a day after the fight. "That's what happened. They can say 3-and-2 count, 2-1 game, no one does that. Zack Greinke is a different kind of guy. Anyone seen 'Rain Man'? He's a very smart guy."

He of course apologized after these comments came out.

Yeah but that is what he thinks. Greinke is a weird cat from all I hear. Do I think he thinks differently than other people? Yep

He admitted it was a public setting. You think it is right for him to opine on Greinke's mental health?

It would be sort of ok if he also compared his guy Quentin to Carl Everett.

The attitude towards Greinke's fairly common anxiety disorder and mental health in general could probably use some improvement throughout the sports world.
