Great news! Ambulance came and guy is getting his stomach pumped.
So did DeBord intentionally cream that guy too hard or what? I missed it. Does he have a concussion? Was the heater thrown at DeBord's head in the ninth warranted?
I sit front row, directly behind home plate. Here's the deal...
- After Flattery was hit in the foot, the Bryant players were laughing and having a good time in the dugout. Some people from the crowd started yelling things like "THAT'S NOT FUNNY YOU JERKS" (direct quote). The players noticed and started yelling "good hit" and other things of that nature.
- Watching the play live it was hard to see if DeBord did it intentionally. It was easy to see that the guy was knocked out cold. I personally don't enjoy seeing that happen and I was pretty pissed at all of the K-State fans booing because the game stopped and the coaches were coming out to check on him. There was a guy behind me screaming about how he was being a whiner and a pussy. We have tons of stupid fans and it showed throughout the game. Kind of took me back to around 1993 when people used to yell LFIQ comments nonstop at games.
- After watching the replay about 10 times, DeBord seemed to aim for his head. I personally think it was a dirty play by DeBord, but everyone on gopo loved it and thought it was a clean play so take your pick. Not sure if this had anything to do with the Flattery situation, but it's very possible.
- I think the umpire should have ejected the pitcher after throwing at DeBord's head. He either wasn't aware of the situation, or agreed with me about the earlier play and thought he deserved to be thrown at.
