Game Notes

Final in 9
Toronto Blue Jays: 6
Tampa Bay Rays: 4


Bottom of the 2nd:

"The Horrific Line Drive"

Tampa Bay centre fielder Desmond Jennings hit a line drive back up the middle that hit J. A. Happ in the right side of his head. The ball was hit so hard it ricocheted off Happ and out to the Rays' right field line bullpen. Bautista got it back into the infield to hold Jennings to a triple. (read more in the scrolling south east text box, top At-Bat box - bottom of the 2nd inning)

As the medical crews from both teams stabilized James Anthony Happ on the side of the mound the entire stadium was dead quite - it was like there was no one there - everyone on the edge of there seats, whispering as they watched.

Soon after Happ was off the field in a wheeled stretcher, news came that he had been taken directly to a waiting ambulance and then immediately to the nearest hospital.

I've never seen anything like this before, and it shook me up pretty good. I think it shook up everyone - even the game took on a going-through-the-motions feel for at least four innings.

I'm still shaky, and my adrenaline is pumping as I begin to write this after completing the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd.

It's just that - we still don't know what going to happen here.

I wish James Happ a speedy and uneventful recovery.

Every infielder's worst nightmare.

'The Horrific Line Drive' is from Gregg Zaun during the 4th inning break on Sportnet's 'Blue Jays Central', with Jamie Campbell.

Line drive hits pitcher Happ in the side of the head and ricochets all the way to the Rays' 1st base line bullpen - Happ drops immediately but is moving - likely in shock - he is talking and waving to the crowd as they cart him off the field about 10 minutes later.

Lincoln didn't take his foot off the rubber before he threw to 1st - but the Umps missed that - so not a balk, and out instead

Arencibia's swipe misses the runner and Rodriguez touches the back of the plate on the way by - Home plate Umpire Marty Foster makes no call indicating to the catcher the runner did not touch home, he runs back and and tags him out. Replay shows Rodriguez did touch the plate and manager Joe Madden gets tossed for being too vociferous.

Rasmus is tracking back into the deepest part of Tropicana Field, where the wall turns into a corner in left centre - and he seems to loose track of where he is and the wall is and it drops in. Not much experience playing this field I guess, better next time
