Jonathan Lucroy Hospitalized After Devastating Collision at Home Plate

https://thebiglead.com/2019/07/08/jonathan-lucroy-hospitalized-after-devastating-collision-at-home-plate/

Angels v Astros. Looks like a violation of play-at-the-plate to me.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy was carted off and sent to the hospital for a CT scan and a possible broken nose after he was bowled over by Houston’s Jake Marisnick at home plate during Sunday’s game.

As far as these things go, the force was way up there: Pete Rose-Ray Fosse in the All-Star Game type contact.

That was uncalled for and he should be penalized.

Clearly he bulldozed Lucroy to avoid an out.

He was not moving after the hit and I feared it was even worse than it looked.
