Duchscherer returns, poops pants
Welcome back to the Big Leagues, Justin Duchscherer! Throwing to live hitters for the first time after missing all of last season, the A’s starter had a scary moment in Phoenix today.
Catcher Max Stassi smoked a line drive that Duchscherer barely had time to react to, and the ball hit off his hand and then his shoulder. Duchscherer spent a few moments in shock but otherwise was unharmed. As was evident by his comments:
He hits that rocket at me and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God’ … I just had to gather my thoughts and come sit down. And wipe the poop out of (my) pants.
Well that’s a fun image. Fans, please don’t send Depends. Video is here, if it loads.
