2012/05/16 Rhymes hit by pitch

BOS@TB: Rhymes hit by Morales pitch, remains in game

[@gmats_23]

His body was going into Shock. It's not an overreaction, just naturally happens, and he had no control over it. Blood pressure suddenly drops dangerously low, dizziness, fainting. I witnessed a guy slam his little finger in a door, then pass out. Ouch!

[@whyme3904]

These are all the same symptoms I get when my mother in law comes over

[@extra_ice_girl]

D G lol

[@evanwenglarski222]

I dropped about 200lbs of concrete on my middle finger, smashed it hard enough that the skin ripped and flesh slipped out. I blacked out from that as well. Post-injury shock for sure.

[@davidcady7160]

Gayle S. Matsuura Alves My wife did that she slammed the front door on her finger less than 5 minutes I was holding her up because she passed out.

[@DT-hp8de]

Same exact thing happened when I broke my arm. At first, I didn't notice it. Then, it sent me directly into shock. Without folks around me knowing to keep me awake, I would have most assuredly passed out.

[@puffyshirt681]

Man, I totally wouldn't pass out! I would scream, throw up, possibly shit myself, then pass out.

[@mka9386]

puffyshirt681 Wow, that was funny! I wasn’t expecting that🤣🤣 I thought you were going to act all macho! Nice joke🤜🏼🤛🏼❤️❤️

[@Willray1983]

The fact that he barely made a sound, if any, when he got hit, would have worried the hell out of me, as a trainer.

[@christianlawler600]

Yes, I too, share, mutual, feelings.

[@ryansilver11]

exactly what i was thinking. he was holding it all in and then he fainted.

[@bobharris6828]

To the people criticizing the coach and trainer for not letting him fall, you have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, if someone is passing out you want to lie them on the ground. But you do not just let them crumple to the ground. The coach and trainer did it right. They slowly lowered him down, so they could be sure he wouldn't hit his head or his already fractured arm.

[@peteandrepete528]

Bob Jones.I don't understand it either .The coach and the trainer absolutely done the right thing and so would the complainers if they were there witnessing it.A lot of things could have went differently if they would've let him free fall.I'm sure the player was grateful that they were there to catch him.It's a scary feeling especially when you have no control on where you are going to land.Any one who has ever fainted knows what that feels like.

[@Mr.Jtea3]

Spoken like a true know it all when you say you have no idea what your talking about and than you give your own intake. I don’t even disagree but bro your the one who sounds like a no it all.

[@JorgeGarcia-wq2lu]

I agree with you 💯

[@xSinfulGodx]

Basically once he reached first base to a breather and the adrenaline rush went away he felted the pain even more and passed out.

[@sapphire962]

95mph punch to the arm, that's sure to do damage wherever it hits you. You can see his arm turning purple in the shape of a ball when hes escorted off at 1:28 so I imagine it was fractured- and fractures hurt like hell

[@mrsir1872]

You could see the stiches from the ball on his arm!

[@miamiwax5504]

Fractured elbow was the worst pain I ever felt

[@1deep289]

Felt that from here.)

[@korie37]

That fucking sound was horrible. It actually did sound like it hit the bat :-/

[@chrismcwhirter5943]

I'm a nurse. His body went into shock after an acute injury. Blood pressure drops and you can pass out. It's actually very common and I'm surprised you don't see it happen more in professional sports.

[@chrismcwhirter5943]

This happened to me when I was 16 and blew out my knee. It wasn't so much the excruciating pain, it was the audible sound of an explosion that made me sick and weak.

[@Sn1perAJ]

damn, that pain came fast and hard once the adrenaline left once he was standing at first base and the way the colour left his face was scary.

[@benklotz6881]

He was tough trying to keep going but its hard to see somebody go through that kind of impact on the body. There is only so much what a body can take.

[@Rectitude4U]

Vagal episode or vasovagal response or vasovagal attack (also called neurocardiogenic syncope) is a malaise mediated by the vagus nerve. I passed out once because I was exhausted and hit my elbow on a chair. Look it up.

[@jessefireguy]

Frank Steen happens often. Pushing to hard is a cause as well.

[@dhillskier75]

anyone interested why this happened, doesn't really have to do with pain tolerance so much. The body can respond to injury different ways depending on if it is superficial or a deep injury. Receptors for deep injuries are located in deep tissues, such as bone. So the massive impact of the ball sends a strong signal of a serious injury. To respond, the body lowers blood pressure to reduce blood loss. A strong enough reaction means you pass out.

[@terryfury8050]

I took an 85 mph to my bicep. It didn't break any bones but it left my arm dead for the entire day and split the skin about a half inch with a nice ball tattoo. Give the guy a break! He took it like a man, it just got to him. THAT FUKKKEN SHIT HURTS...

[@DoesMahBlockLookBig]

Terry Fury I can relate. Got hit by 87 straight in the back. I got winded, which sucked, but I felt really weak when I got home. Like I could only lay in bed.

[@ThekiBoran]

I got hit with a 70-75mph fastball to my left tricep. It blew up like a balloon but I was able to continue with no issues.

[@ThekiBoran]

The one beaning that really hurt was 80+ in the middle of the back. The pain pulsed through my whole body. It was nasty. Remember Armondo Benitez beaning the Yankees' Tino Martinez? Like that.

[@UchihaFabio]

@@DoesMahBlockLookBig I got hit by a Football ball once in the back (I refuse to say soccer ball) I got winded

[@bjornandersson3538]

for all of you saying that him passing out was overreacting , breaking a bone is one of the most painful things that can ever happen (especially hit by a 90 mph fastball). when the adrenaline wears off you are gonna have a weak feeling and it's hard to stay on your feet

[@tylerjerabek5204]

Luckily for the long term it was a deep bone bruise, but those are nasty too, very painful

[@thaliawilliams5326]

He looked wobbly the minute he stood back up.

[@nessa-marks]

You trying being hit b a 95 MPH fastball and not be in pain.

[@BogusBozo]

only people who's never passed out before or never had a serious injury wouldn't understand.

[@dougjustice6960]

Yeah you can actually see him start to run out of breath and start to stumble right after he signals that he needs to come out.

[@luna-pc3fk]

I broke my collarbone very good worst pain in my life

[@Sn1perAJ]

once he was at first the adrenaline left and that was when his body went into shock by the pain.

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

At 0:15 you can see him almost fall back. He was trying to stay up for awhile. It just caught up to him.

[@stevesteve1729]

Man. I've had swelling that hurt so bad it made me almost throw up/pass out before. I bet he had that same pain. Every heart beat is excruciating.

[@ExclusiveLM]

At 0:42 you can see the umpire looking into the dugout BEFORE Rhymes said he wanted to leave the game. The ump was looking at the dugout because he sensed the deep pain Rhymes was feeling and the ump was saying with his eye you gotta take him out of the game. He is in bad shape. His brain shut off to avoid the pain. That's why he passed out.

[@ChibiProwl]

Okay….I didn’t notice that.🤔😎

[@MikeNolan]

That umpire is Dan Bellino. The one that stared at Madison Bumgarner while checking his hands.

[@Grimblenork]

Try to cut this guy some slack people that wasnt some change up, that was a 95 MPH fastball

[@alanturner4779]

Ikr people saying he was was acting are so wrong. They should let a someone throw 95 mph fastball at them see how they like it

[@Boxscot49]

I dont think ive ever seen someone hit so flush in the arm like that. Literally sounded like a hard foul ball

[@mitchweiner]

Rhymes suffered a deep bone bruise but no actual fracture. The fainting was caused by an adrenaline rush.

[@lukechristensen8730]

Mitch Weiner deep bone bruises are actually known to be more painful than breaks, or at least that's what a doctor told me

[@zekeshapiro6167]

@Brian look it up, thats actually what happened

[@kseries1981]

Almost passed out due to the pain. I've been there.

[@sterlingryan8151]

He fainted due to an adrenalin rush. Thanks.

[@karlaastorga4799]

I remember when I was playing softball a fast pitch came in and I moved to get out of the way and I got hit on the elbow, hurt like crazy. My dad was recording it and in the video it shows the ball coming towards my ribs but once it hit my elbow their was a loud smack sound and my yelp. I got a dead arm instantly and a huge bruise, at first everyone who wasn’t paying attention thought it was a cat that meowed because of my yelp but the pain was horrible.

[@stunnasam21]

Broke my ankle playing basketball years ago. Thought for sure I was gonna pass out. It's a very uncomfortable feeling!!

[@317ivory]

[@peterlombardo2924]

This is a true story: When they asked him his name while he was on the ground he said "Batman".

[@caleballen1510]

No way 😹 where did u find this out?

[@chrishughes3873]

Not necessarily a fracture, as mentioned by the announcer. Passing out with pain, the introduction of high stress, the sight of blood, etc. is a very common response. Us medical professionals call it 'Vasovagal Syncope'. The heart rate drops, the BP drops, you get pale and sweaty. Interestingly enough, it often happens when you are straining to have a bowel movement. Usually you recover in just a few minutes. Occasionally, you pass out in the toilet bowl and drown. We call it, 'Pulling an Elvis'.

[@gamersens2363]

I remember a few years back I was skateboarding, midlander a trick and broke my arm. For the first five minutes I was fine, told my dad to drive me to the hospital, I got in the car and then 5 minutes later I’m just passed out. Not sure how long I was passed out. I just remember waking up with a soft cast on my arm.

[@ironblud]

Just had a little girl at my sons little league game pass out from getting hit in the arm. 6 years old, 35mph hardball. Pretty sure her body went into shock from the “attack” to the body. Scary to watch. The next inning another kid on his team got hit in the finger, tore the nail off. Broke the finger.

[@rqjgaming]

probably the shock of when the ball hit his arm

[@julieenslow5915]

Athletes have to learn their bodies so well - and if a man - they have to learn when to not "man up" and hide the pain. They can do themselves a huge disservice if they do. Did you hear the bat hit that ball? No. That was his arm that was hit by the ball. Sounded the same. But he walked it off - until his body said whoa and shut him down. When the body has to over ride the brain - the brain is voted out of control by the body and that is it. You have no more control. You lose consciousness and a whole new negotiated contract is being negotiated while you are not even present.

First aid guy said i looked like i was in borderline shock (first time breaking a bone since i was a kid....and i could have easily lost the thumb)

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

I've only felt something like this once in my life and it's fucking scary and it sucks. And I've put up with some pretty fucked up shit before. I was at wrestling training and my best friend caught me with a knee right to the jaw with his brace and broke my jaw in two places and it didn't knock me off my feet. I never sat down nothing. Completely fine. But I crushed the tip of my finger putting a massive wooden beam for one of the rings in place into an h brace, and my finger went into the brace with the beam and split the nail all the way across and it was literally dripping blood and that was probably one of the most painful things I've ever had to experience because it was the tip of my finger. And the nail. And I got so light-headed I had to sit down I thought I was legitimately going to pass out. I never did but it's insane that my jaw was broken in two places and I was completely fine but my fingertip was crushed and I almost lost consciousness. Crazy how the body works. I've probably given blood or gotten blood work done 20 or 30 times in my life and never had one issue either. I always get up and I drive home and that's it. No problem. The last time I got blood drawn and blood work done I almost passed out. It was so weird for me because I've never ever ever had a negative reaction to having blood drawn either in getting blood work or donating blood and we're talking dozens of times never one issue until that one time. Shit like this happens. This is a long time ago so I don't know what the injury ended up being but that was a pretty nasty ball off the arm
