It’s not always funny when someone gets hit in the beans. When he stays down a long time, it’s not funny at all. It makes you sick to your stomach, both figuratively and literally. So don’t think it’s automatically funny that umpire Brad Myers got hit in the groin with a baseball. He stayed down a long, long time.
Two balls, one strike
Umpire Brad Myers got hit in the balkin’ bobs, which kind of ruined his day.


The TV broadcast didn’t replay the hit, so it’s a little hard to see in this GIF:
Ouch. Myers was helped by firefighters with scary looking beans-related equipment in their hands.
“Goodyear?”
“No. The worst.”
Sorry, that was more of a reference than a joke. Because this isn’t funny. Someone’s hurt out there, right, Brandon Phillips?
Dammit, Phillips. Someone’s hurt here.
The trainer on the left looks like he’s about to throw a punch. But Myers was okay, as he made it to the cart under his own power.

Good luck, Brad Myers. We’re all rooting for you.
