Looked to me like he ducked his head to get hit.

I get coach sticking up for his player, but he did look like he ducked into that throw on purpose. The way the player exited the field after being called out, I did not see that he disagreed with the call at all.   So yeah he knew he was guilty of it.  As a coach why bother at that point unless you are trying to light a fire under some buns.

Worth a shot, they had him dead to rights without help.

I'm not sure I'd risk my head. My hip, ok, but my head, I don't think so.

Drake had the best angle this would be hard from any other position.

I'd take getting hit in the head on the base path any day over any other part of my body.  It's the only place I have protection.

Talk about a breath of fresh air. You loose brain cells reading some of the stuff on this play on other (cough... facebook) forums! SMDH!

Besides the whole call and everything. I REALLY enjoyed listening to the broadcasters doubled over in laughter! And the final comment before the clip cuts out calling Calhoun a "heady player" with them loosing it as they say it. That is greatness.

I'd hope that there might be another body part a little further south that has protection. Every time I step on a baseball field I am taking care of the boys.

Some will say there is no need, but one shot hurts a lot more than the discomfort of the three second effort of proper seating my Nutty Buddy.

Hahaha...nice. In my playing days yes but now I only wear a cup when I have the plate.

Was this in reference to the Reggie Jackson hip or leg play against Dodgers. Joe Brinkman at second possibly had the best look although Frank Pulli had his own look/angle at first.

And no one ever mentions the helluva great backup of first by the catcher. (he's a product of our local LL park. Great kid)

Yes. I was wondering if anyone would get the reference.
