This is the worst foul ball shot I've ever seen

Why isn't there a screen?

I don't think that's as bad as the one a section over for me right behind the O's dugout the night the O's clinched vs Toronto last September.

I saw the woman about 4 or 5 seconds after it happened and a huge knot -- definitely bigger than a golf ball, was protruding from her forehead.

I am assuming this is the incident from tonight in Pittsburgh. There is a screen. But she was standing right behind it and the ball took the slack out of the screen.

As I said in the thread about the Orioles fan turning his back on Alex Rodriguez when he came to bat ......

I wouldn't turn my back on anybody at the plate, I don't care what they did/have done.

The risk of getting hit in the back (or side) of my head with a line drive wouldn't make it worth it.

If you can help it, you should try to never turn your back on the baseball action while it is happening ...... whether you are doing it intentionally as a means of dissing a player, or if you are doing it unintentionally, as this woman did.

    • The Machado trade wasn't the mark of poor judgment.  We got a decent return for when we traded him (2018, with less than a year of control left).  The underlying issue was failure to recognize the timing of that team's window shutting.  2017 started off well enough, but May was punctuated by a 5-14 stretch in the last 19 games of the month (including a 7 game losing streak) and a losing June (that had a 6 game losing streak).  They then limped into the AS Break on a 3-6 July start (including another 5 game losing streak).  Went from a season best 22-10 on May 10, to 42-46 at the break. The pitching clearly couldn't keep up, and denial is a powerful thing.  We didn't do any selling or start a minor rebuild.  Whether that was a Duquette decision or an Angelos decision... who can say? I always look back at that period as having a silver lining though.  We had to crash and burn... to be built back to strength with our modern iteration of our team.  I'm not so sure that the team would have decided to take the same path if they had found additional ways of treading water for several seasons longer than they actually did... so I'm loathe to criticize the failures in the last seasons of the Duquette era.  Without them, we very well might not be where we are today. 
    • Even our bad lineups have a brutal top half of the order for opposing pitchers. 
    • Mullins had a good AB left on left last night that hopefully is a good sign of a turnaround. 10 pitches and fought off several fastballs that he has been swinging through. Ultimately just a groundout but I thought it was encouraging.    Liked the bunt single too. 
    • Well...the "A" team hasn't been scoring runs when he pitches anyway.  Might as well shake it up a bit.
    • And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real Can you dig it Whooo-oooh I can dig it, he can dig it She can dig it, we can dig it They can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby I can dig it, he can dig it She can dig it, we can dig it They can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby    
    • I was thinking he'll get until the AS break to show some signs of life, but it could happen by Father's Day. I'm not implying that they'll release him but that his role could decrease significantly.
