Encarnacion throw tailed up the line pulling Casey off the bag. Cota was barrelling down the line and barely saw Casey attempt to swing around to apply the tag. Cota attempted to bend out of the way and he threw his left arm up (bent) to balance himself and his left forearm/elbow nailed casey right in the face. Casey's head snapped back and he went down pretty hard, layed there nearly motionless and finally moved after the trainer got out to the field.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
It was completely unintentional on Cota's part. Nothing either he or Casey could do.
