Buxton Beaned in Elbow. Leaves WBC game

[Vanimal46]

Can't make it up.

I have not seen the video yet, but now I'm just thinking about it. Getting hit on the right elbow as a RH hitter. Why do the baseball gods hate the Minnesota Twins?

Neither here nor there, but when I see "beaned" I assume head.

"Plunked", to me, is anywhere fragile (not counting the head) like hand, foot, lower arm.

"Drilled" is anywhere fleshy that'll leave a mark, but not really risk a ton of damage, like butt, or on any body armor being worn.

Concur.  The analogous French Revolution Daily headline would be "Marie Antoinette Amputated at Neck."  It just doesn't feel right when you read it.

I'm not a fan of this WBC. Get Buxton back in camp with the Twins.

That was a very difficult forum to moderate 🙂

Lots of problems...
