Well, that is I believe the thickest part of the skull. If it were his temple, he'd be dead fo sho. That's why you headbutt fascists with the forehead where the hairline usually starts.
107 mph doesn't quite sum it up. A line drive leaves the bat at about 25 Gs - 25x the usual Earth-normal force of gravity. That's the same force with which a Nike-Hercules missile (1960s-era tactical nuke) leaves the launch cradle.
Thanks, no worries. I didn't notice until your comment. They probably got a bad self-promote type vibe. I understand.
But that wasn't my intention or I would have just posted an original post with link, because your post reminded me if the clip.
When I saw a reference to the clip though, I thought it was relevant, knowing some might like seeing it and some not liking the link to a previous post of mine. Thks for the support though.
As he should, my little brother nearly died from a fastball with no helmet. Internal bleeding, had to cut open his skull. Probably only had minutes left.
I have had to have a hole put in my skull as well, but it was planned. Whatever the reason, however, I recommend NOT getting a hole put in your skull, or ever being in a situation where you would need one. It’s not pleasant.
This is correct. I'm an athletic trainer (like the guy who comes running out from the dugout) and we are trained on injuries, including brain injuries, and we say "better out than in" for head injuries.

“Off of Lugo’s head and into right field.”
That’s one hell of a ricochet.

Glad he’s not hurt. Unfortunately it’s a risk you take as a pitcher. Sometimes you get unlucky.

Runner stopped at first as quickly as possible and signaled that they should come on out

They have helmets for pitchers.

I always wondered why only batters and catchers wore them...

I would feel so bad. Nice to see people being human for a change.

So glad Lugo is okay - hope he stays so.

Wait, was the pitch 107 or the incoming ball traveling at 107 mph?
ThailandExpress
speed off the bat

Dang, that's gonna leave a mark the next day.

He clearly didn't see this weeks post of pitchers making insane catches. He could have learned a thing or two.
Jokes aside, glad to hear he's doing ok.

Former teammates too. You can definitely see Nimmo's sincere concern.
CT scan came back clear. Lugo says it throbs when bend overs but no headaches. Good news.
DVSBSTrD
Really needs a puncture to take the pressure off. A clear CT scan doesn't mean it won't cause damage over time.
relsky
I'm fairly certain the doctors for these literal millionaires have a pretty good idea of what they're doing.
DVSBSTrD
Yeah, getting him addicted to painkillers.
BadPunsAplenty
He's seemingly OK, but went in for CTSCANs immediately.
Nostradamuswaswrong
Yeah, because brain trauma isn't immediate. Always reminded of that BSG scene https://youtu.be/KLjt706WFl4?t=145

Wow! I hope he's ok.My dad also had to have a hole drilled in his skill to relieve pressure

I need trepanation like I need a hole in my head.

I appreciate the vocabulary boost. I didn’t know that was a word.

Luckily they came back clear and Lugo says he has no headaches.
BadPunsAplenty
That's pretty amazing. Thanks.
UnattendedDeviant
You're welcome. Lugo says it throbs when he bends over, though. As expected.

You can literally watch the lump grow.
MadamPuddifoot
Which is actually a good sign! More likely to be a superficial injury versus a concussion.
Meyek
Had the lump before he even got up.
YeahFineSure
It's far bigger as he puts his hat on than in the beginning of that shot.
SinStar87
I remember hearing a lump's a good thing after a major head injury, no lump signifies internal damage.

This is correct. I'm an athletic trainer (like the guy who comes running out from the dugout) and we are trained on injuries, including brain injuries, and we say "better out than in" for head injuries.

Can confirm. Had a doctor tell me this after my head injury
YpsilantiRomani
I can't believe he put his hat on.
