Poor Nick Allen.
The Oakland A’s infielder was up at the plate, trying to hit a Tarik Skubal fastball from the Detroit Tigers hurler, when the pitcher threw a pitch 98 MPH high and tight. Allen couldn’t decide whether to take it or to swing, so he went in between and couldn’t hold up.
But he was so off balance that he just froze in place before his back leg gave out and he awkwardly fell to the ground. Ouch. Not the first time we’ve seen that happen.
I wonder if his teammates will do one of those mock chalk outlines we’ve seen from time to time.
