Matt Clement Hit By Line Drive

[british_bmx2005]

Boston rallied twice after a frightening injury to pitcher Matt Clement, beating the Devil Rays, 10-9, in 10 innings Tuesday night. Clement was carted from the field and taken to a nearby hospital after Carl Crawford's liner caromed off the right side of Clement's head.

Clement only had 0.8 seconds to react.

Dangit, are you going to be posting news articles for your entire FFR career? It's getting annoying! I don't care about hurricanes, space shuttles, or baseball players. The people who do care already knew without you telling us.

Good god!

I gotta agree with Squeek.... even though its about sports.

At the same time, I was a pitcher for about 4 years... its a known risk that goes with the position. I'd say 1 ball every 2 games comes right back at you, some harder than others. Random factors lead to whether it hits them (and where), misses them, or they are able to get their glove on it.

Its a scary thing every time it happens. For me personally, I was never hit by a come-backer (as they are called). This is likely do to a few reasons... 1. I was never a fastball pitcher. I relied on accuracy and nasty movement to get strikeouts or force ground balls. As my balls never had high velocity (or rarely, as my fastball... when I threw it... wasn't all that fast) the ones that did come back at me were not all that fast. 2. I guess I basically said it above... I forced a TON of ground balls, some came back at me... but those are easy to field. 3. The quality of opponents was fairly low... the kids I pitched against COULDN'T hit a smoking line drive back at my head fast enough for me to be unable to react to it.

But, as far as Matt Clement... it sucks for him.

How about you act a bit more condescending Squeek. If you want to read about FFR, go to FFR General Talk. I actually cared about this article and it seems like it hit home with a lot of people. Just because you never stepped foot on any playing field in your entire life doesn't mean other people don't care about the article. Just click Back and move on to the next topic.
