A win, and a loss

At tonight's Braves game, reliever Jay Powell came out from the bullpen, threw a pitch that went waaaay wide of the Pittsburgh batter standing in and then collapsed to the side of the pitcher's mound in what appeared to be agony.

Turns out he'd had elbow surgery a while back and early word is that he might have broken his arm when he released the baseball. It was an awful thing to see.

Atlanta won 2-1, but the Braves lost bigtime. We needed that guy.

At least he didn't get hit in the side of the head like Matt Clement. That was painful to watch too.

How do you break your arm without a fulcrum? Sounds horrendous.
