Giancarlo Stanton hit in face with pitch

In a sickening scene, Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins slumped to the ground after right-hander Mike Fiers of the Milwaukee Brewers hit him in the face with a fastball in the top of the fifth inning Thursday night. After medical staff attended Stanton on the ground for nearly five minutes, they lifted him via stretcher and backboard onto a cart and drove him from Miller Park to a nearby hospital. The Associated Press reported that Stanton’s father was attending the game and rode with him. Reports say that Giancarlo Stanton has multiple facial fractures, dental damage and a cut that required stitches.

The Minnesota Twins announced their new play-by-play guy will be Cory Provus. Actual game calling sample can be found here. How does everyone feel about this move? I think he’ll make it sound interesting when Trevor Plouffe boots a ball and then airmails it over the first basemen next spring.
