Stanton HBP

[Brewer Andy]

Oh man, watching the Brewers game and Stanton just got hit square in the face on a pitch from Fiers. Not pretty

Was just going to post this. That was one of the ugliest HBP I have ever seen. Fastball right to the face below his left eye. He didn't even try to avoid it. Hit him flush. I sure hope he is okay. Hate seeing this happen to anyone, but especially hate seeing it happen to a young star in the league.

To add insult to injury they called it a swinging strike on Staton.

It's been an ugly night for HBP. Jeter in the elbow, Headley in the chin, Trout in the upper arm, Gomez (in retaliation for Stanton & Johnson. Cutch had to duck under a heater coming straight for his head. I'm sure Beltre will be watching himself, 'cause the Angels will be looking to return the favor for Trout.

That's tough to watch.

 

[Hendersonfan]

How the **** was that a strike?

 

[moxacaine]

Horrible, I hope he is ok.

 

[Tywill555]

Sounds like what happened to Jason Heyward last year. Hope he is ok.

So does Kershaw get NL MVP?

 

[TNP777]

Ugh. Awful.


From mlb.com:

MILWAUKEE -- Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton suffered multiple facial fractures, dental damage and a facial laceration requiring stitches after being hit in the face by a pitch from Brewers starter Mike Fiers in the fifth inning on Thursday night.

The update on Stanton's condition was released by the Marlins, who said Stanton would return to Miami on Friday for further evaluation. It was not known how long Stanton would be sidelined, although Marlins manager Mike Redmond and teammates were not optimistic.

Reed Johnson got nailed too. WTF a real classy Brew-Crew.

Did you watch the video? I don't think either were intentional

 

[Super Mario]

The Brewers have been a classless organization for about a decade now.





I wonder how this will affect Stanton's trade value??

 

[u2me57]

That was rough to watch. I hope he is ok.

Only a moron would think either of those were intentional; and I'm not even sure a moron would, since Keith Law didn't think they were and thought the Marlins were just looking for a fight.

I don't know man. Looks like he was aiming to me. I think I even seen him wink at his catcher afterward.
