She'll settle for at least 500K cash.

Uh, no.
She lives in the town next to me. She's a die-hard baseball fan, heavily into sabermetrics, volunteers countless hours to the local little league, and writes freelance articles for fangraphs, hardballtimes, and baseballthinkfactory.

The fuck it's not, this is the internet, it's always serious...business.

Useless without video footage.

Would hit version gone wrong, it's a whole different ball game..

I couldn't find it but my search did turn of this gem, lol:
There doesn't seem to be any video of the bat actually hitting her though.

poor woman, sucks big time for her son who was there and must of been terrified seeing his mom bleeding like that

Her injuries are described as life threatening. Imagine waking up and going to the ball game. Then a few hours later, your life is in immediate danger. Shit.

How did the bat get from Fenway to her kitchen?
-
They still haven't figured out to place a tall net behind the players? Or finally start using bats that don't break?
-
I can only assume she didn't have the food on the table at the correct time and her owner taught her a lesson.
she won't do it again
-

No no way too advanced
Anyways, how is this such a large story without a video? There is no video of it so a couple of shots repeating over and over.. has it never happened before?
-
She should have stayed in the kitchen where she belongs.

hope she recovers, Cant see the injury but thats A LOT of blood.
Brett Lawrie must feel like shit

I had no idea her injuries were THIS serious!

I now up my cash settlement offer to her to 1.5Mill easy. Maybe more.

I`d rather watch real bluejays chase crows than that miserable crap. Much more entertaining and bluejays are hilarious and cute.

How fast, mph, you think that broken bat end was going? Paying attention or not, just a freak accident. You're closer to Providence than Boston arent you, Grape? Right in the belly of the heast as a NY sports fan LoL! Listening to WEEI must be some serious fantard comedy for you.
-
i doubt she will be able to sue. Isnt there some kind of warning on the back of the tix or somewhere that tells you " hey idiot, youre at a place where objets are moving at close to 100 mph and may come flying at you...keep your eyes on the game" ?

Correct on all, Mr. A. Sports radio up here is indeed high comedy, outside of Felger & Mazz.
I don't believe she has any grounds to sue as there are disclaimers all over the tickets when you purchase them. However I do believe the Red Sox will do something for her to make good in the court of public opinion. In addition I know nothing about this woman or where she lives made all that up.

oh im sure they will too

This, IMO, is far beyond reasonable risk which is what the ticket warning is based on. < That usually applies to errant balls.

i'd say its reasonable risk. Bats go flying into the stands EVERY GAME. Multiple times some games.
-
Regardless I'll go on record predicting at least 500K up to 1.5 Mill cash. She most likely has a permanent head injury which will limit her earning potential drastically.

Yes.

I've never seen one fly into the stands. Infield: yes. On a positive note, if it goes into the stands it's yours to keep. Baseball SOP.

If the player wants his bat you have to give it back , sometimes they give you another bat or something else

yes quite frequently a bat will go flying. Usually it slips out of the batters hands. Sometime when the bat breaks it will(or pieces will) go in the stands. But no where near as often as balls

I saw ken Griffey jr hit a foul ball square nuts into this chicks nose. Her face blew up like Mexican bar mitzvah! Blood everywhere. But I've never seen a supporter catch a bat in the face. I've been to maybe 60 mlb games in the last 2 years

I also think there is no strategy to baseball. At least with baseball, basketball, and hockey, you have different plays and strategies and formations. You change your style according to the other team.
In baseball, you hit a ball and run.

The strategy is most surrounding the pitcher & catcher. What type of pitches the pitcher throws. And also the manager calling the pull pen and using relief pitchers.

Exactly. Really no strategy except for one player. For example, the player in the outfield is really just standing there until the ball is hit to him.
In baseball, football and hockey, every player needs to know exactly where to be at every moment.
I hate baseball.

A shift in what?

A shift in what?
The coach will for examples have the fielders move or "shift" towards say the left because a certain batter tends to hit more in that area.

Oh brotha lol. Yes, that takes brains. Move 5 feet to the left because X player hits that way. lol. Lame. Like, that even really matters in the grand scheme of things. Can you even point to 10 instances where this hugely mattered in a game? Like, it was make or break for the team.
Much different than hockey or football where you have to pretty much know where every player is at every moment of a game.

You have no idea what are you talking about .
I could give tons of examples, but Ill let you with one that happens often
In baseball there's more pressure and more momentum building than any other sport...
For example ... In the bottom of 7th inning while you're the defense ; you know you'll be due up in the top of the 8th and the other team will give the base intentionally to the batter ahead of you to FACE YOU, talk about pressure .. when you'll be standing on the batters box ALONE 45,000 people trashing you cuz you have a low average with players in scoring position the other team will change their fielding position according to the balls youre more likely to hit to get you out, not to mention they can always bring another pitcher in the given case that you got in deed good numbers against current pitcher.
Think about it, youre shitting in your pants and that moment hasn't even arrived yet, cant think of other sport with such pressure /expectations
Is the only sport that when you're batting is just you against the whole team youre playing against.

Strategy may sometimes come into a baseball game, like the instance you describe. Even then, that is much different than football, where youre almost calling a different play every single time, and each player will be potentially in a different position every time. Similar to hockey or even basketball.
For the most part, in baseball, youre just standing around until something exciting happens. Strategy may come into play during key moments. Other than that, the guy hits the ball and run.

Baseball is incredibly boring. They do gotta play a lot of games in a season though, that's the tough part. Compare that to NFL, lol, but the NFL has major life threatening impact every game, baseball? Not really, some fan gets hurt, lol and that's pretty much it!

When you don't understand a sport you can only hope for an accident or a "life threatening " event ... lol
To play at that level a full season in a period of 180 plus day it can consume the best of them all .

Agree. And those guys who just stand around 'doing nothing' have years and years of training, and god-given ability, behind them to make it look like nothing. Put yourself beside them on the field and they would make you look like nothing in seconds flat. Find the game boring? Fine. But these guys are amazing at what they do.

Probably MORE strategy than the other sports - every batter, every pitch. Games within games within games.
Heck, just read this. It's one small excerpt on teaching pitching strategy to kids:
What did the hitter just teach me to throw next?
Here’s what I mean:
If we throw a hitter a fastball on the inside part of the plate and he doesn't swing, what did the hitter just teach us to do on the very next pitch?
» He taught us that he may not have enough bat speed to get the head of the bat out in front—so throw it again.
If we throw a fastball and the hitter pulls the ball, what did the hitter just teach us to do on the very next pitch?
» He taught us he has speeded up his bat, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to go right back inside to him. So what you want to do is make him slow his bat down by throwing either a change-up or a curve ball.
If we throw a fastball up in the zone and the hitter chases it, what did the hitter just teach us to do on the next pitch?
» He taught us that he is undisciplined and we can throw another fastball up even higher or throw a curveball down in the zone.
Can you see what we are doing here?
We are making the hitter make a lot of adjustments.
We throw fastballs to increase his bat speed—we throw change-ups to slow it down.
We throw curve balls down to slow up his bat and get his eyes going down, and then go up with a fastball to speed up his bat and make his eyes go up.
Slow it down—speed it up. Make his eyes go up and then down, or down and then up.
Pitching smart is all about constantly making the hitter change his bat speed and eye level...
...and moving his feet.
But always remember:
What we want to know most is how the hitter is reacting to our fastball.
If he can't catch up to it, or he can't hit it when it is thrown in a particular location—then we can go back with it in that location.
But we don't want to do that more than twice in a row.
Because if we give him that same pitch forcing him to speed up his bat, and then we throw it more than twice in a row, we are giving him an edge.
