Pitcher KO'd. I finally saw it!

It took years of playing MLB The Show, but it finally happened last night. In the 5th inning of a 13-1 blowout by the Pads, Cashner got hit and had to be pulled. LOVE IT.

Even though it was against me, I thought it was finally a tick towards reality. I've hit shins, ankles, knees, chests, shoulders, arms, and ribs for years. When that notification came up that Cashner was trying to walk it off but couldn't, this game got another nod of approval from me.

I've never seen somebody so pleased that their pitcher got knocked out and had to be taken out of the game...

Was this franchise? Did he have a corresponding injury after the game?

[thiel82]

Just a single game. Brought in Perdomo, who arrived with 8 warm-ups absolutely cold. Not sure if that changes when play continues or not since RPs get all the time to warm-up after an injury.

Was easier to handle up 12 runs at the time. Was close to just fast forwarding, but glad I didn't.

This is exactly why I hate pitchers getting hurt. Unless you happen to have a reliever warming, the guy you pick is dead cold and, as far as I know, that's just the way he is.

They should come in warm to emulate what you just mentioned, imo.

I've read that they do, but you just can't see it.

Which basically means "We can tell you we fixed it but we might be lying and theres no way for you to know."

I had it happen to Jason Hammel in the fourth inning of his first start this year. 6+ month head injury. He'll never play for me again.

That's it, then, Next game my pitcher is wearing a helmet, even if my catcher has to give him his.
