14_napoli_recovers_from_his_collision (14/24)
In the second inning, Jeff Conine flied out to Vlad, who fired a
one-hop bullet back to the plate. Javy Lopez, who runs like a
catcher because he is one, tagged and came home, but was called
out because Mike Napoli blocked the plate. The collision
staggered Napoli for a bit, and here Ned Bergert (I think) talks
to him for a bit while he recovers. Rich and I were surprised
when Mike Scioscia pulled Garret Anderson in favor of
Tommy Murphy —
presumably, to rest him — but left the suddenly
heavily-used Napoli in the game.
