Lets hope he doesn't pull a Kemp...
I guess whenever Hank Aaron was beaned, he played the next day.
Baker is a bad joke.
Still, it's Jocketty's call.
So if the doctors said there's no reason he can't play, why are you wanting him to not play? The hit to the head was not a direct shot. If it had been, it wouldn't have gone 30 rows up into the crowd. It was a scary play, but if Cozart passes the tests and is cleared, there's no reason for him not to be out there. As a matter of fact, I'd rather him be out there as quick as possible, because I'm sure there will be some mental hurdles to overcome in terms of digging in at the plate.

If the guy says he's good to go and passes the battery of tests he's given, I see no point in sitting him. Catchers routinely take dings similar to what Cozart got last night, or even worse, and don't miss a pitch.
He sure did unless his eye was swollen shut, many did not even wear helmets, they were not required until 1970 or 71, I'm pretty sure.
Of course a lot of players wore them way before.
Cozart was hit on the top part of his helmet, pretty much a glancing blow. Looked worse than it was and scared him more than anything, it's a very very loud sound. He's fine.
Nice to have Votto, and Cozart back.
Looks like a winner. Also, Kemp had a hamstring. So it's going to be hard for Votto to pull a Kemp.
