  Yeah, I'm pretty sure Church was deliberately using his forehead as a weapon. Since he's already quite familiar with getting Mooshies, he knew what his dome was capable of.
  
  'ah yeah, here we go... I'm bout to kcuf this boy's knee up right here!' is it such a stretch to assume Yunel was the real victim?
  
  Ryan Church's forehead is the Karl Malone elbow.

  I don't think Church meant anything by the slide. I just think he deserved the hit coming in hard like that - especially when he didn't get down in time.
  I hope he heals up quickly - we need someone to beat up on.

  Church definitely deserved what he got. I think he should be suspended for the play. There is a reason you are required to slide or to veer out of the base line. He made no attempt to slide. It was simply an attempt to take out Escobar...same as he attempted earlier in the game when he did a pop-up slide and threw his shoulder into Escobar on a double play.
