Just got some Jack Cust flashbacks. It's almost like pudgy unathletic guys aren't ideal.

It's almost like the only glove he should own is a batting glove.

You know he had NCAA RB scholarships right?  You know the guy slipped on a wet field right?  You see the photos from flooding in Baltimore last night?  I’m surprised that game was even played. 

And yet again this has to be said...Not everyone is built like Adrian Peterson, some people are built like Eddie Lacy.

If this were Ryan Mountcastle the board would be talking about how Orioles management was irresponsible for even playing that game. But it fits the failed first round draft pick narrative to pile on Stewart. 

Why the heck didn’t the trainer take him out right when it happened?

That was my thought too.

Don’t want to make excuses for the guy, but the outfield was probably quite wet.   Sometimes stuff happens.

Nobody else was doing belly flops out there.

Dude needs to relax and catch a fly ball.

At least DJ will be able to say he made the highlight reel nationwide.  Seriously though I hope that hit to the head doesn't have long lasting effects. 

He has a concussion.

Have you ever played on a field after it’s rained?   Sometimes you hit a spot that’s particularly slippery or soft, sometimes you don’t.

Stewart's a good athlete and capable corner OF.  Anyone who assumes otherwise because of his build should be ashamed of themselves (coming from a tall lanky guy).

Really stinks if he indeed does have a concussion, he needs reps at the ML level.  Hopefully we're not looking at another 2-3 weeks before he's back.

It was obvious that he would. The ball hit him square on the side of the head straight on. No idea why he wasn’t taken out of the game immediately.

Hyde says Stewart has concussion

Uncle Fester didn't see any reason for taking DJ out of the game at the time.

Capable of what, making Manny Ramirez look like a good left fielder

I said it the day he was drafted, he is not a ML player. He didn't / doesn't have a single projectable ML tool (arm, speed, power, contact)

Man I'd love to interview the scout(s) that thought he was worthy of a first round pick

It's a simple solution for DJ fans... A football helmet and knee pads could have prevented both of DJ's injuries in the outfield.

Just head on down to Atlanta...I am sure Gary Rajsich would be happy to see you.

And the Orioles other prized outfielders are not hitting right now. McKenna between last year and this year is batting .235 at Bowie. Last 10 games batting .057. Hays also is hitting  ..220 at Norfolk  with a ..272 .OBP. Last 10 games batting .122. Both show occasional pop but need to hit more to receive a call up. So Stewart was the choice they made.

Good grief..what is this?  The Deadwood broadcast?  I can just hear Gary Thorne cursing like this guy...lol.

I think it is in very poor taste that the MLB media is making fun of DJ getting hit in the head. I would love to see some of these armchair outfielders try to catch a ball hit 100 feet in the air.
