Ouch. Forthcoming trip to the DL, I'm sure.

[SammyBirdland]

Wow. Hopefully most of that pain was just from having the wind knocked out of him.

Oh, and congrats to Joe West and his agent for being right in the middle of a popular clip.

He was hitting .380 the last 2 weeks too...

I gotta say, I cringed through the whole replay thinking about Wieters. I can't imagine if that happened to him...

[The Wedge]

The video after that one (labeled just "Posey's Injury") is a little more insightful. Looks like he hyper-extended his left knee as it was planted left and he was hit right and went backwards a bit. That'll hurt like you know what.

Cousins reaction reminded me of Bobby's in The Karate Kid after he carries out the order in the tourney to take Daniel out of commission.

Edit: or maybe it was his ankle...should probably read news reports.

Watch the replay a couple times. It took me several views to finally see it, but you can clearly see where his ankle was folded almost backwards.

Unofficial update: #sfgiants Chris Stewart and Brandon Belt called up. Ford to D.L. Posey has broken leg and torn ligaments.

[Gurgi]

I guess Wieters is still the best young catcher out there.

Wow, that's awful. Big blow for the champs.

[Blizzard1090]

That chances of repeating just went down by a lot. Plus, that kind of injury is NOT good for someone who is a catcher.

[Can_of_corn]

Thankfully for him he has the bat and athleticism to play other positions.

Fortunately for Posey, if he has to, he can play in the infield or outfield.

[TGO]

That was awful. He was definitely expecting a slide there and Cousins just crushed him. The worst part is Posey never caught the ball anyway.

Fantastic throw by Schierholtz btw.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Buster, there's a Mr. Kendell on line one.

Also for the record, the next time one of our guys slides into home and is out and a hundred people start screaming about plowing through the catcher, I'm posting this video.

So I heard he got injured this morning, but didn't watch the play. Then, on the ride home this afternoon, sportstalk radio was saying that his career could be in jeopardy. That has to be an exageration, correct? He's done for the year, but he should be back next season, right?

Probably hyperbole, thinking of hits guys like Fosse and Buck Martinez took that they never fully recovered from (even though they played after the hits).
