The catcher immediately turns to offer assistance. Marte.... just walks away You toss your bat like a little leaguer and open a gusher on the man’s head and you just... walk away. What a dick.

i don’t know what you mean here? I played my entire life through college for what it’s worth, and if you are trying to say that players typically don’t give a shit when one of their actions leads directly to an ump being badly injured I’d like some proof please. That dude is a dickhole plain and simple.

I just commented about the fact that the hitter doesn’t seem to care at all about the fact that due to his incompetence he just nailed a guy in the head with a piece of lumber. So you might be right.

Wow, what a dick. You lose control of your bat, and whack the umpire square in the dome, see him clearly in pain and likely injured, see the catcher checking to see if he is OK and calling over help, and you just casually strole over to pick up the bat and walk away?
