if he is the boston redsox pitcher (as someone previously said in this thread), why doesn't he have fast enough reflexes to catch the ball? 😕

What a jackass thing to say. This seems to be a very serious injury. He was hit off the side of the head and the ball ricocheted all the way to Manny Ramirez in left field. There was very little movement if any from Clement. Both the crowd and television announcers were completely silent for a very long time.
 
Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Boston Red Sox pitcher Matt Clement was hit in the right side of the head by Carl Crawford's line drive Tuesday night and carried from the field on a stretcher.

Clement remained on the ground and barely moved for about five minutes before he was lifted onto a stretcher and immobilized with a neck brace. Replays showed the force of Crawford's liner knocked the All-Star pitcher completely off his feet.

The ball caromed off the back of Clement's head just behind his ear into short left field for an RBI single. Chad Bradford replaced Clement with Boston leading the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 5-1.

Often times, the ball leaves the bat faster than the pitcher can throw it. We're talking 100+ mph. This was one of those super line-drive hits which just made a beeline to his head. He had no time to even react.

Are you seriously asking this question? Do you have any idea how fast that ball is coming off the bat? The pitcher is only 65 feet from the batters box. He has less than a second to dodge/react. I know you're a female and all, but that is an absolutely retarded question about reflexes.

If the ball is coming at him at 100 mph, he has 1/3 of a second before it hits him.

Does anyone else find this sentence morbidly humorous?
 
damn, you're talking serious concussion at BEST.

permanment effects of brain injuries are pretty bad... personality change, loss of cognitive and memory functions...

because you are the official ball catcher?

I don't even know baseball but that comment was the 😕

 
From the Sox's site:
ST. PETERSBURG -- Boston right-hander Matt Clement was struck with a line drive by Carl Crawford with one out in the bottom of the third in the Red Sox-Devil Rays game at Tropicana Field on Monday night.
The drive appeared to glance off Clement's head and he was taken from the field by stretcher. He left the field on a stretcher and was taken to nearby Bayfront Medical Center. No details of his condition are available at this time.
