Jesus Christ! Wow, prayers... So many times, especially at times like these, I'm glad my son is a catcher.. Wow!!! WOW!!!

Yeah, I'm on board with exploring what we can do to help pitchers be better protected.

Finally got the chance to read through this, and like others have said, it's great. Sent it to my dad, and I know he'll like it too.

Thanks for sharing it!

Royals vs. Angels on MLB Network.

You just threw a hanging curveball, but I'm not an ass... so I'll let it drop in for a strike.

KCUnited and I were at the game last night and that hit was as bad as I've seen, but it seems the outcome is going to be better than expected. He might be pitching in a few months again? The sound of the ball hitting his face was louder than I ever thought a baseball hitting human flesh could sound. Almost as loud of the ball coming off the bat. It was downright gruesome and everyone was glad they called the game.

Chen gives up a 2 run HR to Trout in the 6th.

Jason Donald goes DEEP.

Valencia got hit in the wrist by a pitch, and left the game in pain.

I hate to say it, but if he's hurt that might be an easy solution to our bench problem, he could start the year on the DL and we keep both Dyson and Maxwell.

edit: sounds like nothing was broken, just pain and he'll be out a few days.

610 airing josh verniers GMDM interview part one right now..

The Jirschele article was phenomenal. Man, I'm glad he finally got to Kansas City.

And on a related note, the George Brett quote about attending the charity event they had was priceless:

"I wouldn't do that for just anybody," Brett says. "They gave me cheese and crackers everywhere I went. I didn't shit for a week."

LMAO George sure loves to talk about shit.

Cheap shot by Salvy on Chapman. Hopefully he gets suspended.

Just one game, but Valencia looked like warm barf at 3rd today. One was a ball down the line that he didn't even react to. Honestly, it looked like he didn't even see the play.
