Default Tanaka takes a Liner to his head

....

https://www.tsn.ca/new-york-yankees-...rive-1.1492212

NEW YORK — With crumpled motionless on the mound, repeatedly waved behind home plate and scolded a video journalist for taking images.

This wasn't a scene anyone wanted to see at Yankee Stadium.


Tanaka was alert and sent to a hospital after being hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of New York slugger during live batting practice Saturday, a frightening scene moments into the team’s first official summer camp workout.

That was scary. From Giancarlo no less.

There's a video on Twitter where it has full audio. It's from the announcers booth I think, so fairly high behind home plate, and the thud when Tanaka gets hit is very cringey. Glad he's ok.

Hate that. I especially think Stanton would feel terrible after being on the receiving end of it a few years back.

In response to this line drive, people are going to protest and demand that these new baseballs be used:

Aide note: MLB also says pitchers can now use these to throw at hitters intentionally.

He will never pitch to him again unless it's a regular season game.

50/50 chance that Stanton also got hurt on the play.
