If it wasn't for social media I would have never heard of it. So, clearly I'm not the least bit interested in it and will never watch it. sorry for the thread derail.

around4ever 4,139 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 My daughter started wearing a mask in high school after a teammate got hit with a line drive. I don't remember all of the damage done but she had several facial bones fractured. I would make them mandatory for pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it from a pure Mass X Velocity view, it would seem to me that a pitcher is at much greater risk of suffering serious injury from the ball than a catcher, and all catchers wear headgear. A barreled-up softball can leave an aluminum at a much faster rate of speed than a pitcher can react, given the short distance from the plate., and most hitting coaches strive to teach batters to hit line drives right back where they came from. I guess pitchers know and accept the risk, but no child or grandchild of mine would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting time of 6 PM and playing 2 will mean a long night for us geezers. I'm already dragging from last night. Monday will be a long day at work. No, there are at least four of us.
