Ouch and double ouch. Can't really blame Pujols in either case though. The first was freak bad luck. The second -- the catcher blocked the plate with a foot -- what was he supposed to do really? I guess he could've tried to go around it, but I'm nto thinking too many 3rd/4th batters in MLB would be tap-dancing around the catcher to get to home...

Seeing this once was enough. The pitcher got jacked up. I'm surprised that shot didn't just kill the guy as hard as it hit him. And then wiping out the catcher on top of it? Jesus. I really felt bad for those guys and the Padres in general; you want to win, but not like that.
It was clear, though, that none of the damage inflicted was intentional. Even the slide was clean. Just a whole bunch of bad luck packed into a few minutes of baseball. |

Right. I also feel bad for Pujols. He's gotta feel guilty as hell about it all, even though it's not his fault. But, obviously, I don't feel as bad for him as for those two Padres, or the rest of the Padres team, or their fans. Dayum...

Normally when something like that happens the other player just keeps his distance. Albert actually went up to the guy right after it happened and was obviously upset.

Who slides home with their nails up like that?
That's not a safe play, EVER. You risk an injury like that every time you do it. |

That wasn't a dirty slide. He was going straight for the plate.

They boo'd the hell out of him when he came to the plate the next time. It's too bad too because he is one of the genuinely nice guys in pro baseball.

Holy fook. How the **** did that pitcher even stay sober enough to sit up after taking one to the face. That's amazing.
By the way, Albert is a class act for immediately coming over to see how he was doing and even say a prayer.
