"During Tuesday night's loss to the Phillies, All-Star catcher Brian McCann and his backup Brayan Pena were both hit with swinging bats. McCann aggravated a bruised left ring finger that he first injured on April 22. Pena was hit on the head and possibly suffered a concussion."

This is ridiculous. I don't know who was swinging the bat, but whoever it is needs to learn to have better control. Mark Redman was pitching and I doubt he was making them swing awkwardly at any of his pitches.
