I had just traded for Phil Hughes, 3 games later he gets his first start and in the 3rd inning a line drive nailed his face! It was hilarious watching him roll on the ground for the first time, I thought he had died. Not only that, the ball ricocheted to Wright at 3B who was able to still get the batter out on the play.
My next happened a few games later while trying to turn a double play. Posada got the ball at first and threw it to 2nd base where the runner slid into A.Cabrera who absolutely launched it over the pitcher's head who was covering. To make matters worse, he picks up the ball after the runner starts heading for 2nd base, and throws it back over Cabrera's head!!
