i never understood pitchers who leave themselves defenseless after the pitch is thrown

that should be at least a priority because it can happen to any one

:what:

The hell's he supposed to do?

its sad it happened to happ but he was in no position to defend himself

You realize Greg Maddux was the greatest fielding pitcher in MLB history right? Not really fair to assume other pitchers can do the things he did out there.

Cant understand why pitchers never wear more protection. especially for their face.

Cause then you compromising their ability to pitch effectively, and thereby their ability to :eat: It may as well be slow pitch softball at that point. I think the most that can be done is to maybe have them wear those batting helmets with dual earflaps. Once that first base coach died from getting hit, that's when you saw all the base coaches start wearing helmets.

Who would have thought 3 yrs later he'd be a cy young winner.

Give credit to pirates pitching coach ray Searage, for making happ the best pitcher in the american league, after Chris Sale.

Searage is easily the best pitching coach in the baseball world right now. Watch hutchinson become legit in a Few seasons, under his watch.
