Scott Eyre/Sam Fuld shenanigans

[Schwarber Fan]

Watch your back: During a rundown drill, Cubs pitcher Scott Eyre went to tag Sam Fuld near third base and tripped and slammed the outfielder into the ground.

 

Eyre helped Fuld up and gave him a hug.

 

"Don't take off early on me," Eyre said.

 

Eyre could pick on everybody else, but not Fuld. The outfielder made a highlight-reel catch Sept. 22 against Pittsburgh, snaring Nyjer Morgan's ball crashing into the right-field wall, then doubling up Nate McLouth at first. Who was on the mound? Eyre.

 

"A little rookie hazing -- I can handle it," Fuld said.

 

Eyre did say it was accidental and that he tripped.

 

"That's what he says," Fuld said. "I don't know if I can believe him. I didn't see it. All of a sudden I had this big 220-pound guy on my back."

 

The way Fuld sees it, he had to work on his diving and sliding anyway.

 

"I survived it," he said.

Having Scott Eyre fall on you should be all the punishment any rookie is forced to endure.

Hahaha I'm surprised he didn't get the wind knocked out of him.

Or have his heart stop beating.

 

Eyre is a big boy.

The shocking thing in all of this is that Fuld thinks Eyre is 220 lbs.

 

 

Edit: My bad, I thought Eyre was a lot heavier than 220, but he's apparantly listed at 217.
