I hope he's alright
Just awful! Brought tears to my eyes! I just hope it's not as bad as it looked! Prayers with him & his family!
Yeah I watched every single replay as close as I possibly could and didn't see anything close to Hopper putting the ball in Freel's glove. I did, however, notice the ump sprinting over to Freel to see if he had caught the ball (and probably to then see if he was OK).
EDIT: After just watching it again, I can see how it might've looked like Hopper was putting the ball back in Freel's glove. But you definitely couldn't see the ball and it looked like he was just moving the glove to get a look at Freel's face.

freel update he is at good samaritian in cincy getting head and neck scans was awake and alert and had full range of motion during transportation
thx for the update, cptn... lets all keep our fingers crossed.
L.A. manager Grady Little had a bad feeling about Wednesday's game when he saw Harang and pitching coach Dick Pole walking in after Harang's warmup.
"I saw two big men," Little said. "Either could have shut us out tonight."
Very scary incident! Good news that he's able to move his arms and legs etc.
I just saw the replay. Hopper most certainly did put the ball back in his glove, it was very slick. Right after he did it the umpire got there and asked Hopper a question and then Hopper opened Freel's glove and the ump looked in and saw the ball. It was very smooth.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
i just watched it again and i saw the same thing hoppers left hand makes a motion towards freels glove the umpire was shielded
