[FortyFour]

Hes down

 

[dodgerchromie]

Things do not look good...the sound when it made contact with his head was very scary. My prayers will be with him.

2 bad ones in one day

 

[ryanhoward06]

OMG that was/is pretty bad.

It did hit him in a hard spot, hopefully.

 

[rico08]

I heard the impact very distinctly...on the RADIO. Hope he's alright; nothing he could have done about it.

 

[FortyFour]

just got carted off.

 

[TNP777]

Is he moving at all? Thumbs up? Anything?

Is he moving at all? Thumbs up? Anything?

his arms were moving and MAY have been talking...but it doesn't look good.

 

[ryanhoward06]

He did seem to stay alert the entire time.

It did look like he was bleeding pretty bad. It could have just been the angle.

 

[Wes]

a lot worse than wright's earlier today...

 

[Sweetness]

I just watched it, that was horrible. The ball hit his head went straight up in the air and almost went into the stands behind the catcher.

 

[AKA Coastal]

Anyone got video?

 

[dodgerchromie]

Vin says there was no bleeding and he never lost conciseness.

 

[Pine Tar]

Anyone got video?

Wow your a sick man, but I like it. I kid hope he is alright.

Anyone got video?

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda(notes) was carted off the field and taken to the hospital after being hit in the head by a line drive Saturday night.

A shot off the bat of Arizona pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal(notes) caught Kuroda on the right side of his head with Los Angeles leading 3-0 in the sixth inning. The 34-year-old Kuroda crumpled to the mound, clutching his head, as the ball deflected into the seats behind first base.

Ryal was awarded a ground-rule double.

All eight Dodgers fielders stood on the mound as trainers tended to Kuroda, who was placed on a stretcher and loaded onto a cart. He raised both of his arms as the cart rolled off the field, and was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital for tests.

I really really hope he's okay, but there is something moderately funny about being awarded a ground rule double in this situation.

 

[vwnut13]

Wright, Kuroda, and now Kinsler. Cabrera on the Redsox just nailed him in the back of the helmet.

Thank you! That was the strangest call I've ever seen
