Who Says Baseball Players aren't Totally Hardcore?! (blood)

Who Says Baseball Players aren't Totally Hardcore?! (blood)
Brief prologue for non-Baseball people: The MLB Championship Series (semifinals) are going on right now.

Earlier this week, Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer cut his pinky finger (badly). He is a drone afficianado, and apparently sliced his finger open on one of his little metal crafts. Because of rules limiting a team's postseason roster moves, Cleveland had about 90 minutes to decide whether they should keep him on their 25-man roster in the semifinals (risking the chance that he'll be hurt and his spot would be wasted) or have another (inferior) pitcher take his place. The Indians decided to keep him on the roster, and moved him back from pitching the 2nd game of the best-of-seven series (Saturday) to pitching the third game (Monday), to give him more time to heal.

That decision... didn't... quite... go well. By the fourth pitch of the night, Bauer felt something on his hand. He looked down and saw... this:

Apparently, blood was splattering down his leg and all over the pitcher's mound. Interestingly enough, the rule that forced him to come out of the game was the one that states you can't affect the ball with a foreign substance (in this case, his precious lifeblood).

Here's what the unobstructed wound looked like:

Pitching problems aside, the Indians won the game and took a 3-0 lead on the Blue Jays. Everyone's excited about the possibility of a Cubs' World Series appearance, and rightfully so - they haven't won since 1908, by far the longest streak of futility in American sports. Just behind them, though, are the Indians, who last won the World Series in 1948. A Cubs-Indians matchup would feature 176 years of failure on display!

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Ten minutes after posting that, I was walking back from lunch, and I stumbled on an uneven sidewalk block, and dropped my water bottle. I went to reach for it as it was falling, caught my finger on my belt buckle, and - I shit you not - this happened:

Trevor Bauer and I are one.

It has happened to me before. A wound going unnoticed in the fray, Doesn't seem deadly anyway.

Heh, even in football (not handegg) when someone has a bleeding injury on field, they must get med assistance off field or be replaced.

About your wound. I think you will die soon as the bucle was infected with zombie blood. Big Grin

This is clearly definitely correct.

I think we should put you on the AF Disabled List.  How can you possibly type with a wound like that?
