Orioles pitcher David Hess might want to stick to baseball

ST. PETERSBURG http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-sean-newcomb-jersey , Fla. (AP) — The rookie right-hander was hit in the left eye while playing catch with a football Friday night before Baltimore’s game against Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. He was taken to a specialist for an examination of his left eye.“For me immediately I was just trying to make sure I could see and once I could see I knew I was OK,” Hess said after the Orioles were beat 14-2 by the Rays. “That was good but definitely something I’ve got to be careful with going forward”By the early innings, Hess was back in the Baltimore dugout — wearing an LSU football helmet.“I could not entirely tell you where the LSU helmet came from,” Hess said. “It appeared in the second inning and I was told to wear it so I wore it.”It’s a normal sight almost across the majors to see pitchers doing running work involving football passes before batting practice.“I think going out there and playing around … that’s just kind of part of being an athlete,” Hess said. “We want to go out there, we want to toss around a football or whatever it may be. This is just one of those times where a freak accident happens so next time I’ve just got to move my head or catch the ball.”Turns out that Hess won’t miss his start Saturday night against the Rays. The 25-year-old Hess is 3-9 with a 5.27 ERA this season.Hess is not the only issue for the Baltimore rotation this weekend.Showalter said righty Alex Cobb is not expected to start Sunday due to lingering blister problems.

I know probably he doesn't feel that way. And like I said, hey man, thank you for helping us. He went down there, he did what he did."I hate talking about politics and all that http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-j.j.-hardy-jersey , but I think this is more than politics. This is about a country that really suffered, we still ... you see the hurricanes forming now. Everybody's panicking. It's not easy.

We know that."On Thursday morning, Trump tweeted his belief that the reported death tolls from the storm were fabricated by Democrats "to make me look as bad as possible.""3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico," hewrote. "When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-manny-machado-jersey , they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...".....This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!"According to CNN.com'sBetsy KleinandMaegan Vazquez, the Puerto Rican governor "formally raised the death toll from Hurricane Maria to an estimated 2,975 from 64 following a study conducted by researchers at The George Washington University."George Washington University issued a statement Thursday standing by its findings: "Our results show that Hurricane Maria was a very deadly storm Chris Davis Jersey , one that affected the entire island but hit the poor and the elderly the hardest.
