Jason Kendall’s injury was worse than that. We saw bone penetrate skin there

My memory is shady…So you are saying Kendall DIDN’T pop his right back into place by himself as Drew did?

It wasn’t the catchers shin guards; I think he landed very awkwardly on the ground. OUCH!

We need to outlaw sliding at home plate now, we can’t have good young players like Stephen Drew gets hurt at the plate like that. It’s a shame and baseball has to do something about it.

Yep, it was his LEFT leg that hit the shin guards, he just landed really awkward on his right leg while sliding.

Seriously? I mean…really? Outlaw sliding at the plate?

This stuff happens, doesn’t mean the players need to be babied over it.

Honestly, Gomez’s diving center field catch and subsequent fractured clavicle was way better. But of course SportsGirdle doesn’t even talk about it.
