One of the #Tigers hit by ball in outfield in Baltimore - writhing in pain.
Someone is down, this is NOT good - can't see who it is.
Cart is beiing driven fast to stricken player on #Tigers.
Robert Andino liner just struck a Detroit Tiger in batting practivce. Medical personel rushing out there.
It's Al Alburquerque.
He is conscious, and was standing, but his pain was obvious and the players around him seemed shaken Tigers.
Al Alburquerque was the Tigers player hit by the BP ball in the OF.
Kid seems to get hurt a lot. Hopefully, he's OK.
Al Alberquerque hit by a line drive in BP today. carted off the field according to JohnKeatingFSD more on his status soon.
Really scary scene. Went down head-first and feet were flailing.

Yup, what the hell?

 

[mhughes0021]

-.- ridiculous...hope hes ok.

 

[staegrac]

wow this kid cant get a break with the injuries

 

[Thumb]

Fate is trying really hard to fuck us.

 

[cmlfactor]

Didn't Bonderman roll his ankle on a stray ball a few years back? Pitchers shouldn't be put shagging flies...period.

 

[tycobb420]

Hope A-A is ok. If he goes on the DL, do they promote a catcher before Avila and Martinez both get hurt at the same time just to spite us?

 

[jas5lf]

Talk about bad luck with AA. We're going to need to score 10 runs tonight with Penny and his 6.36 road ERA.

 

[manchild98]

I hope Al Al isn't the new Zumaya.

 

[biggunsbob]

I hope AA is OK... Man that is a bad break....

 

[biggunsbob]

Here we go... Lets get some base runners for Miguel.

 

[biggunsbob]

I wish AA would have been more patient.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers batting .226 on this road trip according to the TV broadcast.

 

[biggunsbob]

hanging Curve.... Damn it..

 

[kalinecountry]

There goes Maggs' 0 for 14 line drive single,

 

[kalinecountry]

Cabrera with a rbi single and Dirks scores,

Tigers lead 1 - 0.

 

[jas5lf]

Damn, they just showed Al Al getting hit in the head during the Orioles batting practice. He never saw it coming. Ouch.

 

[mhughes0021]
