J.A. Happ is a very very lucky guy

J.A. Happ was an amazing lucky guy last night as Desmond Jennings scotched a ball back at him and it hit him behind his left ear and it was a very scary moment for J.A. Happ as got a fractured skull and he had 9 staples behind his ear. He lay on the mound for a good 15-20 seconds before medics could go out to see him as the play just kept going as Jennings end up on third because Bautista did not use his baseball fundamentals as he did not immediately go after the ball and those extra seconds before the play was over could of been life or death. So he survived the waiting time on the mound and thankfully he did not go to sleep which he may have not woken up from. J.A. Happ should be extremely thankful that the worst of his injuries maybe either a knee injury or an ankle sprain because of how he went down after being hit and then his nerves maybe gone and his confidence maybe gone as well as he may end up having nightmares about being on the mound. He has been put on the 15-day DL and will be on it for a bit longer than that and maybe moved to the 30 or 60 day DL and the guy right now who is kicking himself right now is Aaron Laffey decided last Tuesday that he did bot want to go down the QEW to Buffalo and instead became a free agent and is in the Dodgers organization in triple A instead of the No. 4 Starter for the Toronto Blue Jays. The Guy gets that opportunity right now is Edgar Gonzalez who in two relief opportunities with the Jays gave up two runs in 3.2 innings pitched. Happ is out of hospital and very thankful while the Jays have a three game winning streak going Tom Mehegan
