It's not often that you knock one player out of the game, allbeit two in one inning. Well that's exactly what Albert Pujols did on Monday night against the Padres.....
SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Padres pitcher Chris Young and catcher Josh Bard were knocked out of Wednesday night's game against the St. Louis Cardinals by Albert Pujols within a span of two batters.Hell....reading is for suckers. Let's just watch it go down. Via Fan IQ....
Pujols hit a line drive off his Young's face in the third inning, breaking the right-hander's nose. Young immediately fell on his backside and put his right hand up to his face. Blood was running down his face.
After a few minutes of sitting on the grass, Young walked off holding a bandage on his face with blood on the front of his jersey.
Pujols' shot ricocheted to the left side of the infield for a single and loaded the bases with one out. After Ryan Ludwick's grounder knocked in one run and advanced the runners, Troy Glaus lined a single to right field.
Aaron Miles and Pujols scored on the play. But right fielder Brian Giles' throw arrived at the plate at the same time as Pujols, who slid and caught Bard's left leg.
I know that Pujols meant none of that, but you still should have buzzed him in his subsequent at-bats. The Padres just let it be though as they probably didn't want Brian Giles going down next. Craziness.
