From Sportsline:

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- An arrest warrant was issued Saturday for Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Luis Martinez, who allegedly shot a man three times, police said.

Police believe Martinez, 23, shot Rafael Encarnacion Quezada on Saturday morning in a hotel parking lot and were searching for the pitcher, National Police spokesman Col. Ramon Francisco Rodriguez Sanchez said.

Encarnacion, 37, was shot twice in the chest and once in his left leg. He was hospitalized in critical condition, police said.

Encarnacion works in the Caribbean nation's internal revenue service.

Rodriguez said he didn't have details on a possible motive or why police suspected Martinez.

The left-hander broke into the major leagues last season with Milwaukee, going 0-3 with a 9.92 ERA.

During the winter Dominican baseball season, Martinez played for the Licey Tigers, which gave the Dominican Republic a win Friday against Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Series.

Licey general manager Fernando Ravelo said he had spoken with Martinez.

"Martinez got in touch with us by phone this afternoon and gave his version of what happened," Ravelo told the Associated Press, without giving further details. "He's not running (from authorities), he's just scared."

Yes. I thought the dodgers offense just took a hit (or three if you count each shot)

What's with Brewers pitchers shooting people?

Julio Machado got 12 years back in 1996

Rizon · 02-09-2004, 04:57 PM

I'll bet Willie Nelson put him up to this.

Quite right. I'm sure everyone can breathe a little easier now, apart from the guy's family and friends. But who gives a damn, eh? lol, indeed.

Karros270 · 02-10-2004, 12:30 AM

Since he became the lone offensive addition the Dodgers made this year. We have to hang our hope on something.

Jordan · 02-10-2004, 12:43 AM

[Karros270]
The Dodgers will never have another savior like Eric Karros

So true, so true.

woody5254 · 02-10-2004, 10:19 AM

Phew, I was worried it was Mario Encarnacion

congobeast · 02-10-2004, 04:23 PM

Dammit Karros!
You gave me a damned heart attack! The last thing Blue needs is an offensive player- even a mediocre one- all busted up.

I'm going to go get some nitroglycerine now.
