J.A. Happ took a line drive to the head.

Anyone just see that in the Jays vs Tampa game. That's scary.

saw it happen to juan nicasio, but didn't see this one, always a shame but thank god it wasn't off of an aluminum bat. I hope he is ok

came hoping for video. i am disappoint.

 

[SassySloth]

I made this the moment it happened. No videos up yet.

 

[SassySloth]

Happy now.

That's scary as fuck. Ball bounced pretty good too. Hard hit.

 

[Spinoza]

He's been pitching like shit anyway

 

[Barefootin_Fiend]

yes, yes i am. much happier than Happ is right now. any word on how he's doing? that looked fuckin' gnar.

i'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, tbh.

 

[pmw]

i mean it happens but no more then i would expect. if you're asian do some math or science or some shit and i'm sure you'll see how unlikely it is for that ball to come back back at his head

 

[Spinoza]

Ball ricoched so far to the side lol, it hit him solid. They just showed an angle from behind the plate. So fucked, that's why I never pitched

when he still played for the phillies he threw me a ball as he came into the dugout when they were playing in colorado

I took a line drive to the shin today while I was pitching. Do I get a thread?

 

[Barefootin_Fiend]

if by shin you mean face, then yes, yes you do. otherwise quit being a fucking pussy and deal with it like a man.

I took a shot to the head like that off an aluminum bat in high school. I just remember throwing the ball and waking up about 10 minutes later. Hurt like hell.

The center fielder actually caught the ball off the bounce it took from my head too.

my brother broke a kids cheekbones(both) when he was hitting and a nose. The kid had to get plastic surgery
