        He's one of the slowest guys. He just got hit by the ball and in no way does it look like he slowed down to let it hit him. -- nm - Krusty May 30, 05:41 6
        
        I saw this guy do amazing things in my youth so I'm confident in saying he "hoped" it would hit him and it worked according to plan. -- nm - Last Of My Kind May 30, 06:31 1
        
        Maybe but that's not against the rules either. He doesn't have to try and avoid the ball. He just can't interfere on purpose which he didn't. - Krusty May 30, 06:39
        
        Meh, he made no effort to avoid which is what you try to do but still…who cares. He’s out and the Angels suck. - Will Hunting May 30, 05:50 3
        
        It hit his trailing foot so I think he though he would get passed it without it hitting him. I don't attribute it to malice. -- nm - Krusty May 30, 06:00 2
        
        Oh, I’m saying good play anyhow, intent or not. - Will Hunting May 30, 06:46 1
        
        That was my initial concern and another reason I didn't think he'd just let it hit him. He missed half the season last year though - Krusty May 30, 07:10
