Your right I mean he probably has been hit before and espeshaly from behind the plate you can see where he was hit so it is indefinitely a great guy under that mask.
Nice sentiment but he really has never been the same and I'm sure his dad understood the gravity of something like this. I played highschool baseball and sid well until I took a ln intentional brutal fastball to my back, couldn't not flinch after that. Wind got knocked out of me, when a pitcher wants to hit you there's nothing you can do. You just hope you don't run into pitcheea like that who just enjoy hitting people, hurting people. Local cops kid with a reputation for hitting people.
@@Moneymike29thats insane. No pitcher wants to kill the batter. He just simply lost control a bit. If he wanted to plunk him it would have been below the shoulders.
Yankees fan here and Fiers is one of my favorite players. He publicly apologized to the Marlins Organization and Stanton himself. It wasn't intentional .
That reminds me of when Ron Santo got hit in the face. That's why the ear and check protector on all MLB helmets were invented. I saw that happen at Wrigley Field and that was the most scariest sports event I ever witnessed in my 71 years of age.
You're right. But they are professionals, you know how many people they have hit before and shrugged it off, now they getting paid millions of dollars to pitch in MLB, but I agree he could have taken himself out but respect that he tried to keep playing
God what a scary moment. I can't even imagine the devastation the pitcher feels. The pain and regret. What a freak accident. Looks like a 2 seam that just got away from him and slipped.
I remembered a time a guy told me that, we went to play baseball. I threw a speed ball at the guy's face, got grounded and all that. A couple days later, I asked him if baseball was still dangerous. He said fuk off. I told him the ball slipped
I once almost drowned in a bathtub, bathing is dangerous man, also I slipped once when I was walking and could of broken my knee, walking is dangerous 😬
The pitch obviously got away you don't hit a guy with the bases loaded on purpose. He swung to protect himself and when it hits that area of the face it could cause serious damage therefore he didnt get up cause he was probably unable to
***** Do you know what you're even talking about? They got in a fight earlier with the same pitcher? The fight happened after Johnson got it, and it wasn't intentional.
All these years watching baseball, still don’t understand how the ‘Catcher’ gets to wear a helmet and the hitter don’t or not have one-side protective gear??
They actually just have helmets that cover that side of your face for people who have been hit in the occipital lobe before. It's not like a mask add on, just a custom helmet. And as someone who was a catcher..believe me, yes they need one lol as does the ump. The ump gets hit in the face more than anybody on the field
@@maxyp4932 that was so awesome to see him looking like he used to. Not saying he isn't a good player and that power is unholy but he sadly was robbed of the days of being the best player in the league or in the discussion. His numbers over a season did never return to what he has done year after year. I jumped up and down and I am a huge.
As a pitcher hitting a batter like that makes you feel like crap and then you are emotionally compromised you can't blame anyone in this situation it just happens
What's messed up about the whole situation is that the umpire called that a swing, and it was a strike. Next batter comes up and gets hit high again, once again called a swing when both batters tried getting out of the way
If the bat crosses the plate for any reason, it's a swing and a strike. No exceptions. I've seen intentional balls called a strike because the batter took his bat off his shoulders during the pitch in a downward swing, like clearly not going for the ball. But those are the rules. It's not messed up.
+joel trigoura aha I know man, but theres concern without showing it, and theres just straight up not caring...and he straight up looked like he didnt care
@chrisheffernan6600 um what? I'm strictly referring to the clips of him onlooking chewing gum. He shockingly didn't look concerned at all. I didn't say he wasn't concerned (I'm sure he was as any parent would be). To say he doesn't "looked" concerned is just saying what it looked like. I, for one, covered my mouth and legitimately couldn't uncover it for several seconds bc it was that horrifying to me. I was just surprised at his reaction during that clip and how he could stay so nonchalant looking.
I don't remember when this happened. What was the damage from this accident. I don't know if I could pitch after this. I wrestled in HS, COLLEGE (D2) and the ARMY. I was wrestled a guy in a duel meet, and actually new the guy , a good kid wrestled him HS at state, he beat me! Anyhow we were in the second period and somehow I shot he tried to sprawl but I managed to stand him up with his leg tucked under my arm and he was hopping trying not to be taken down when he tried to roll through and I heard and felt a pop in the knee under my arm and let out a scream and I let go of his leg so fast. I was so glad it was a duel meet and I didn't have to wrestle another match that night or that weekend, because that shook me for a couple days. He ended up with a torn MCL and ACL and something else with his patella. But does anyone know the extent of his injury?
A bit graphic what im about to tell you. The ball split his cheek open down to the muscle if im not mistaken The accident caused alot of permanent damage to his veins to this very day (hence why he wears the guard a lot). That injury not only cost him his season it almost cost him his career
@@sugewhitejacoby8654 honestly I Don t really know. Im sure he was I know I would be. I was watching the game when it happened. I've been following his career since Miami.
Back in early 70's my room mate ( having my tonsils out ) at the Hospital was a kid ( pitcher) that was hit by a line drive to the forehead. It had happened 2 days before I got there , I was there for 2 days and he was still out of it.
+NO_N4ME I'm pretty sure that's a trainer that winked. Irregardless, I think he is winking at the catcher, to let him know that there is no ill will, and and that the batter is being worked on and they got it under control. It sometimes can be used as a subtle way of letting someone know that you understand that you are remorseful and it's acknowledged.
Not really though I can understand the INTERPRETATION. He's from old school and raised him so, "Get up. Shake it off. Or do what you have to do and get better. Not from the parent who uses sympathy and the child play into it to get attention as many sp households do. That's why he's a professional baseball player and as I hear became MVP after this incident. That type of man is dying in men just as femininity is dying in women by the new philosophy.
@Mb it's true lol he was swinging that's why he got hit if he wasn't so focused on swinging at every pitch he would have probably been able to avoid that but it that doesn't matter
SonicOfPoon point is STANTON was SWINGING not AVOIDING and thats why he got hit NOTHING wrong with that IF he would have not swung AND was able to see that the ball was coming to him STANTON wouldnt have gotten hit
It's a nightmare no matter which direction the ball is traveling. I remember a few years back when Alex Cobb was pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays caught a 107-mph comebacker off the side of his head and went down and lay motionless. He was carried out on a stretcher, barely conscious, and I think the batter was pulled from the game because he was so distraught he couldn't hit anymore. I know the arguments about pitchers wearing or not wearing protective gear, but imagine if an 88-mph pitch can do that, what about a hit going over 100-mph hitting someone wearing only a cloth baseball cap? Charlie Morton was pitching for the Braves when he took a comebacker off his landing leg in the WS. He went on pitching but after the game xrays showed his leg was broken. Even if they aren't actually hit, a large number of pitchers face Tommy John surgery to rebuild their elbows which takes them out of their careers for close to a year or more. No matter what position you play, taking a rock-hard object like a baseball off your body makes baseball a risky business.
Or maybe his dad recognizes he'd only get in the way of someone way better trained at emergency medical care than he is. You're not helping by screaming "my baby my baby" shoving people out of the way. In fact, it kinda makes you a bad parent.
I am glad he is ok. I can relate to when I was hit directly in the forehead by a chunk of a brick that was thrown by Scott Cox in nursery school, blood on my hands and stitches. Then less than three years later, Dominic Luppino tripped me and pushed me down face first on the concrete at Griswold Elementary School. I suspect that perhaps that is where the black eye came from. I should have had X Rays. All I can say is, I know what it feels like and it is painful. Again, I am Giancarlo is ok now, and that he should protect his face.
This is sad. Even in the most heated game this wouldn't get kudos. It was clearly an accident. I got nailed by a pitch when I was younger while I was not in the box and even looking down. When I pulled my bat up the pitch was already coming. It was also an accident but the pitcher seemed to be the only one that was unaware of that My nose swelled up so big that I looked like Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Looking like Odo was the only thing funny about it, lol.
I love how the catcher from the other team ran to him that is good sportsmanship great job

I know. And they always waste all the talent, that was a great team if they had time to grow
They needed more pitching. So tragic what happened to Jose
You can always tell when those hits are unintensional. The look of agony on the pitcher's face says it all

If I was the pitcher I'd ask to be replaced. I wouldn't feel competent to throw the ball at high speeds for the rest of the game.
You're right, he should've.

You're right. But they are professionals, you know how many people they have hit before and shrugged it off, now they getting paid millions of dollars to pitch in MLB, but I agree he could have taken himself out but respect that he tried to keep playing

How did you catch that, good eye

All these years watching baseball, still don’t understand how the ‘Catcher’ gets to wear a helmet and the hitter don’t or not have one-side protective gear??
It's by choice. There is gear for right handed and Lefty's. Face guard batting helmets
The catcher gets to wear a helmet and mask because the batter could tick a ball, and the catcher probably wouldn't have time to react and catch it.
H2Omatters11 he had a choice so 💁🏽♂️
They have them he didn’t wear that type of helmet

What's messed up about the whole situation is that the umpire called that a swing, and it was a strike. Next batter comes up and gets hit high again, once again called a swing when both batters tried getting out of the way
Kenneth Jordan Stanton did swing.
