Papelbon of the Week 7/21

This week's winner during the long All-Star Break goes to none other than Jameson Taillon.

IF you are unaware of what happened to Taillon this week, he was hit in the head by a line drive 105 MPH ball off the bat. Hosting the Brewers, Taillon got a screaming ball off that bat lined right at him, with little to no time to react.

As you can see, Jameson get's nailed in the head then immediately goes to the ground holding the point of impact. Real scary stuff as we have seen plenty of pitcher's take balls to the face in year's past ( just ask Joe).

Thankfully, the Pirates had a trainer by the name of Jesus who came out to heal Jameson with a kiss on the forehead.

See, All Better!

This is where the POW comes into play. Jameson (now healed by Jesus), passed concussion protocol and ultimately decided to remain in the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He went on to throw 6 innings, 1 earned run, and 3 K's to get the W for the Pirates and 17.00 points for The Kekambas bitch.
