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

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

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

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

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

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.
