Shouldn't hurt much. Most couches are pretty well padded. Some are even overstuffed.

Crotch! LOL

I bet if I did get hit in the crotch on a couch it would hurt more for the fact that on the couch I wouldn't have a cup on.

The last game I called I got hit in the right ear. The ball went from the bat to the glove to my shoulder pad to the ear. It happened so fast that no one really saw it. I didn't flinch. Called foul and tossed another ball to the pitcher.
I thougth that my ear was ripped open because I felt something wet running down the side of my head. It was sweat.
After the half inning, I asked the FU if he could see any blood or cut on my ear. He said "NO, I thought you got hit, but I wasn't for sure".
Man has got to be tough for this game.
