Mark Wegner's Pitch Out
The catcher and pitcher got crossed up on a pitch out at the Dodgers games this afternoon and unfortunately, Wegner took the worst of it. While it looked legit, the catcher stepped aside for the pitch out but F1's pitch was literally a "cock shot" for Wegner - actually it hit him in the upper inner thigh. The great thing about the whole play was that Wegner stayed in his stance, took it like a man and best of all, CALLED IT A STRIKE! What's actually kinda of funny, I've seen Bruce Froemming flinch more on a normal pitch that the catcher actually catches. I guess those new McDavid hex pad under tights would have helped out but I bet it hurt like hell.
