Severino removed from todays game

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Severino was hit in the head on a (luckily) 76 mile per hour breaking ball. He was down for a bit and was allowed to run the bases, before Sucre replaced him on defense to start the next inning.

He passed concussion tests and will travel to Boston, while Sisco was scratched from the Norfolk line up tonight as a precaution.

In the game thread, there were a couple of people (myself included) who questioned allowing him to stay in the game in the first place.

Why risk it?  Any update on Wynns?

I heard he was starting baseball activities at extended spring training... I think maybe 5 or 6 days ago?

Last report was he went 3-4 with a long home run in his Extended Spring Training game, would catch Wednesday and play in Bowie on Friday as a rehab assignment.

He should not have been allowed to stay in the game.

Agreed. No idea why he was allowed to stay in and run. As cautious as they have been with the pitchers, this didn't make sense at all.

I was at work and someone posted the video of Severino getting hit on the game thread. Watching that I don’t know how anyone with the team thought it was ok to let him take 1B.

Elias needs to have a talk with the coaching staff and not let this happen again.

That was nasty, I agree they should have pulled him.

Ironic really how shortsighted so many in sports are. Simply because he did not meet the stringent, completely arbitrary requirements to be diagnosed with a "concussion" does not mean he did not suffer brain damage...

At least Severino did get pulled. Twenty years ago he probably finishes the game.
