Excruciating pain for days. Nothing need more be said.

The Orioles should have tried this strategy when the ump ejected the pitcher for a curve ball.

The catcher tried to cover his face when he heard the umpire's balls scream out in terror.

Ump turns around and 3 balls are rolling to the backstop. Ouch.

Two balls and one strike (a hard strike, too) in one pitch

3 balls - 1 out/down

A catcher that's scared to catch the ball? Weird.

STEVED00•84 months

That's what he gets for not giving that guy the calls on the corners.
