send a prayer yadier molina's way....

[bsucubsfan]

left the field on a stretcher after bruntlett ran him over. never wanna see a person get hurt. send a prayer out to the Molina's.

[Cubs Fan In New York]

Wow. Was he moving? Did he give a thumbs up as he left?

[Little Slide Rooter]

He suffered a mild concussion. Hes fine.

 

They said theres an off chance he may be placed on the DL, but nothing serious.

[TruffleShuffle]

The collective prayers of the Best Fans in Baseball will be more than enough to get him healthy.

[Garage Party]

I'm gonna FedEx a popsicle-stick cross, a teddy bear, and some mylar balloons down to Missouri. They should be there by Tuesday, I hope.

[mjohnson71]

Props to him holding onto the ball.

[CubsGM]

Props to the umps for missing the fact that Molina missed the tag.

 

 

Anyways, prayers go out to Yadier. Hope he is okay.

[E.J.]

From reading over at Gateway Redbirds, sounds like Molina had a slight concussion and won't need to be put on the disabled list. The Cards will bring up a catcher from AAA and go back to having 12 pitchers on the team instead of 13.

It looked to me that the ump was in the wrong position to be able to see that the glove never made contact.

 

Another opportunity for replay to get it right, where the ump simply only has so much information available to him (namely, line of sight) to make the correct call in the moment. And that one could very well have changed the standings.

 

Just saying...

 

Glad the injury wasn't more serious.

I don't want instant replay for tags. Only for homeruns and that's it.

i want instant replay for everything and robots calling balls and strikes.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The problem with instant replay is that it takes way from the moment. I hate missed calls too. But I hated it more back a few years ago in the NHL when they were disallowing half the goals and you could never really get excited when the red light went off because you knew there was a good chance it was coming back.

 

Or when Devin Hester breaks off a huge return, but instead of cheering you are looking around for flags.

[A New Era]

Ok, I pray he will beable to break the Mendoza line some day.

that was the terrible skate-in-the-crease rule, which was quickly changed by the league during the offseason.

[radarluv1]

the baserunner should've just slid, touched the plate, been safe and won the game rather than going for the knockout.

Molina was covering the entire plate, which is the main reason he got a concussion.

You know, he's actually been a pretty decent hitting catcher the last couple of years. Very little power, but pretty good otherwise.
