Hate to second guess because I don't like protecting certain players but an ace pitcher not pitching in the lineup (bat ok, nothing to talk about)running home slides feet first right into catcher blocking plate. Ankle swollen instantly, can barely walk after game, unsure of injury.
Wont say what team but a struggling, losing team cannot afford injuries like that. Not only does it hurt the team but maybe future looks in jeopardy (on the radar of a few).
I know its baseball, but he is not going to go to college for hitting or running. I don't know. Sad situation. Its still pre-district tourneys. Anyone have opinions on this?
Maybe I'm overreacting now that it happenned, I didn't have issue before but last year team injury free this year two pitchers down, 1 infielder injured. Bad times, but baseball none the less.
