Packers linebacker Clay Matthews is probably wishing he had worn his helmet at a charity softball game today. Matthews confirmed that he suffered a broken nose when he took a line drive to the face. "Thank you for all the concern and well-wishes,' Matthews wrote on Twitter. "I busted my nose pretty good and will [more]

Hypothetically our pass rush may have just gotten better, if this gives Matthews out of Biegel’s way, lets him get on the field.

Helps the young guys get some reps if nothing else.

Maybe it’s like when Dez Bishop finally got a chance...

Perhaps his hair got in his eyes. Maybe his quick muscle twitch just isn't what it used to be?

Ray Nitschkie would have picked up the ball and started eating it.

Pitcher is a dangerous position, the ball comes so quick off the bat combined with the pitcher being in an awkward after pitch follow through. Anyone who had played baseball a few years has probably seen this.

I played 1st, 3rd, and pitched a little bit in little league. Also played 1st in college for some softball rec leagues, our shortstop was a really good player who could have played triple A ball and when he sent a heater to me sometimes my hand was sore for days afterward if I didn't catch it right 😲 I never had that problem with a regular baseball.

Isocleas2,
You are correct in regard to pitcher being a potentially dangerous position, My son played baseball in college and was a pitcher. (In fact, he was a teammate with a pitcher currenly on the Brewers.) I was always worried about the ball coming off the bat too fast, especially during the first few years of his college career. They have since “slowed down” the bats in college and I believe in the youth baseball as well.

Where did you play?

Follow up story in Dec 2017  I am amazed he is playing this year.

"I was like, 'What are you doing? I'm fine,'" Poncedeleon recalled in a recent conversation with MLB.com. "I thought I was going to have to pass concussion protocol and maybe be out a week or two. It was once I got into the ambulance, that's when it started hitting me that something might be wrong."

It's been nearly eight months since Poncedeleon took an impact that nearly took his life. The scars and small dent that remains in his head serve as a permanent reminder.

The details of what happened during Poncedeleon's early hours in the hospital have since been relayed back to him. His father flew in from California. His girlfriend, along with their son and her parents, rushed north from Florida while Poncedeleon went in for emergency brain surgery.

He next remembers waking up with a headache, and, later, grasping the gravity of why. In those early days of Poncedeleon's recovery, the doctors didn't speak much about baseball. They were focused on much simpler things. Could he move his hands? What about his feet?
