Giancarlo Stanton

Stanton was carted off the field after being hit in the face with an 88 MPH fastball.

Early report is he is done for the year.

That's not good. Hope Stanton is all right. He's on the shortlist for NL MVP.

We posted at same time, and since mine includes a tweet detailing what went down, I'd say mine wins! lol

Was it intentional? I know Fiers tends to be......unstable.

I feel for Stanton man. he is an incredible player and by all appearances a really good dude.

While discussing this in the Yankees game Chase Headley just got beaned in the face.

This is Fiers first hit batter for the year, so I'm not sure.

Didn't look to be.

Not on the baseball forum. I am not a super mod, just a super cool mod.

worthless Damn Hokie.

Chase Headley was able to walk off the field after being hit in the face just now with a 98 MPH fastball, but the early word on Stanton is done for the year.

Oh man, they should probably trade him to the Mets.

From Hardball Talk:

UPDATE: It was ruled that Stanton swung at the pitch that hit him, so his replacement, Reed Johnson came up to the plate and was hit on the hand on the hand when he swung on the very first pitch from Fiers. Casey McGehee, who was in the on-deck circle, apparently felt there was some intent behind it and then benches cleared. Just bizarre. Order was quickly restored and McGehee and Marlins manager Mike Redmond were tossed from the ballgame. Why Fiers is still in this game is beyond me. He’s clearly (and understandably) shaken up. Wake up, Ron Roenicke.

Thanks for Chris Young Nasty.

Big HR last night and tonight breaks up the No-No in the eighth then hits a three run walk off in the ninth.

Anytime man. You want Colon back?

He was free by 8 tonight.

If the Mets didn't have to play the Nationals at all they'd be a playoff team. You are our kryptonite.

It makes up for the Nats inability to beat Philly.
