Agreed. Got hit twice today, each getting more painful. Top one. The first pitch of the game was inside corner about chest high. How did I know? Let's just say I had a good look at it. WHACK!!! Right off the facemask. Catcher turned around and apologized. I asked if that was going to happen again. She said, "No guarantees." Apparently she was right. Bottom seven and the next to the last pitch of the game. (Hint: If you are going to buy a cup, make sure you buy something to hold it in place.) The pitch was about waste high and again inside corner, and when I squatted down to see the pitch, my cup shifted just a little. After about 3-4 minutes, I called the third strike and slowly walked with my partner to the cars.
