Man, I hope Chris Young and Josh Bard are going to be alright. That was gruesome to watch.
Padres pitcher Chris Young took a Pujols line-drive off the snoot, and two plays later, catcher Bard tried to block the plate with his left foot as Pujols slid into it. The ankle went in ways it is NOT supposed to go (It was a clean play). Poor guys.
As much as I hope those guys recover quickly, I also hope this doesn’t shake up Albert for too long. He didn’t look good the rest of the game before getting pulled.
That has got to be a pitcher’s worst fear, and Young certainly didn’t deserve that kind of luck.
Now Zambrano, on the other hand…
