Happens at least once a year it seems. Wonder how much longer it will be before pitcher's will have to wear a helmet, or some kind of less obtrusive protective device. I think this will be the tipping point. A year later and McCarthy is having seizures and can't get his act together, and now Cobb. He could throw for a dozen years, but who knows how he'll recover from this? yeah, it's time for something. obviously you can't just put a catcher's mask on the pitcher and expect things to be cool, but it's time to put whatever the best thing we can come up with on the pitchers. hopefully whatever we start using now will push people to develop better stuff.
