Southwest Sider Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I hope all this injury and freak injury variance is behind us when we're ready to compete. This is another gut punch to the fans and Carlos Rodon if it turns out he is concussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Aren't bad things supposed to happen in 3's? Clearly the Sox pissed off the baseball gods. What a dumpster fire of a season... Hope he's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 If you are going to take a liner to the face the forehead is the best spot. That said he could still be concussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam8610 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Considering he got right back up and wanted to continue, my hope is that he's fine and won't miss his next start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Scary no matter what, but that ball could have been hit a lot harder. He is very fortunate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 With the maple bats, juiced ball and velocity of batted balls, it may be time to innovate a protective head piece for pitchers. Sixty feet, six inches is just too close to the plate, in today's game. Someone is going to get killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Danks got drilled in the head by a line drive and stayed in and tossed a complete game so I assume he will be fine here.

I don't know that I blame them -- it's certainly the most personal of risks. Hard to argue it shouldn't be up to the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I wasn't aware of the fact that something already exists. I agree that it should be up to the player, however I can't understand how a pitcher would not want protection. Would a catcher be willing to sit behind the plate, without protection? Hitters are using all kinds of protective equipment. The pitcher is arguably at more risk than a hitter. The batter is completely ready for and focused upon the incoming pitch. The pitcher is in his follow through motion, and not as focused on the ball coming back at him. As hard as hurlers throw, they still cannot quite reach the velocity, at which balls are traveling, when they leave the bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The good news just keeps on coming. Looks like this crisis has been averted, but holy cow what a shitstorm of a season. I STILL believe the Sox will be a fun team in the 2nd half of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
