Video now posted. Kerwin really took a shot when Martin was mixed up on the pitch.

I don't know why, but I can't get the link to produce video.

I went to Harry's the same year he did-- doggone awful to hear about this.

I also wear the HSM

It looked to me that the pitch caught him in the lower side part of the jaw. My HSM covers this spot better than a regular mask. If I'm guessing correctly about where it hit him I think the HSM might have deflected this particular pitch better than a standard mask.

This of course is just a guess.

I was viewing this in slow-motion and it seemed that Danley moved his head ever so slightly right before the pitch hit him. If that was, in fact, the case, then he got hit where he otherwise might not have.

I'm not 100% sure he moved his head, but the many times I've reviewed it, it sure appears he did.

Yes, he did move his head! It looks like an "Aww $hit!" move. In other words, he saw the train coming and tried to react. It could have cost him had he turned just a little more as he would have exposed his neck which may have been disastrous. Had he not moved, he would have taken the pitch dead center of the mask. The result may have been the same, however.

Well, I'm not really criticizing him for moving his head. I was just wondering if he, in fact, did, or if I saw something on replay that really didn't happen.

Talking about bad karma, BTW, yesterday I got hit in pretty much the same manner. Frickin' catcher misses a high outside fast ball and it smashes into my lower right side of the mask then ricochets off my right shoulder. The wraparound pads that I just got this year obviously made a difference!

"Ball". Campos gave the count "1-0" loudly and authoritatively before the next pitch.

And I bet not a soul in the game was expecting anything different.
