I can't believe it ....

Ok, 3 plate jobs this year with the new mask. Got hit for the 1st time with an 88 mph fastball, I know b/c I asked the guy charting after the game. It was a right handed pitcher that uses a drop down, side arm delivery and the ball sailed on the catcher. I got hit in what would have been my left nose/cheek area. And I tell you all this, because the freaking mask bent and bent good. I was so pissed. I mean, if I buy a $80 mask and it bends, that is one thing, but when you spend top dolar, you don't expect the damn thing to bend like that the first time you get hit. I am sending it back on tuesday and getting a new one sent to me, but the point is wow, didn't expect it to cave in like it did. Anyone else been hit hard durring a live game with the mask yet?
