Brief Update on the Condition of David Wright

Written by Phil Hoops August 15, 2009 at 7:55 pm

Update 9:10 PM – David Wright has suffered a concussion, and will remained hospitalized overnight at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

* * * * * *

During the latter portion of Fox’s telecast of today’s Mets game, video showed David Wright, dressed in a gray shirt and shorts boarding an ambulance.

He appeared to be rather steady on his feet and did not require assistance of any kind to get into the emergency vehicle. This is certainly a good sign because it certainly did not appear that David would have been leaving the ballpark under his own power after that kind of impact he took to the head.

Afterward, the ambulance left en route to a local hospital. He will be undergoing tests throughout the evening and more should be known about his condition tomorrow morning.

Ironically, this whole ordeal comes just one day after Wright himself endorsed a newer, more padded batting helmet that sports manufacturer, Rawlings, is trying to get Major League players to wear.

On a side note, Giants starter Matt Cain, who threw the pitch that hit Wright, was seen tipping his hat to the crowded while he exited the ball game. In my opinion, that is a pretty classless move on his behalf considering what had occurred earlier on in the ball game.

    According to Metsblog.com Wright suffered a concussion…

    • Phil Hoops says:

      Terrible news, hopefully the Mets handle this one better than they did with Ryan Church. I say if there’s any question regarding his health within the next few weeks than I’d just shut him down for the season and let him rest up for next year.

      • yosi says:

        As sad as it is to say, I agree.

        Phil, you’re jumping the gun. As a former quarterback, I’ve had six (6) concussions. DW will be fine and will be on the field in a week or two, at most.

        During the interim, I would circulate a memo tomorrow morning that requires all baserunners to slide feet first, spikes up. DW will be fine; however, I am very interested to see how we respond to our best player getting beaned at a time when our core is on the DL. Its time for gut-check.

    cain is a huge idiot for tipping his cap. i hope he gets drilled in the head one day for that.

  3. Ed Leyro says:

    It was very John Rocker-like of him to tip his cap like that.

  4. D.C. says:

    I hope he better watch his back tonight. Mets fans are fuming angry.

  5. Tommy2cat says:

    A few thoughts about the incident.

    1. Too many pitchers have taken too many liberties pitching inside to DW. It was a matter of time as to when he was going to get beaned. So when Cain hit DW in the head, he didn’t do it intentionally, but threw toward him in a way too many pitchers have become accustomed. The tide must be turned.

    2. I cannot say that Cain’s tipping his cap to the crowd was classless unless I know why he did it. Was he taunting the crowd or expressing his genuine remorse for beaning DW. Cain does not have a reputation for hitting people. In fact, the last time we faced him he walked a few batters.

    3. I am sick of this $hit. I’m glad Pelfrey is pitching tomorrow and I want him to pitch that hard sinker inside all day long, especially to that fat, f**king fathead (yeah, which one…). I want Darryl & Dykstra in uniform tomorrow. Lenny could use a few bucks.

    4. Whether Cain meant it or not, the gloves are off against all opponents for the rest of the year. Cain’s pitch betrays an attitude that prevails throughout the league, that you can take out the Mets best player without serious retribution. This attitude must be changed as of tomorrow.

  6. Mikey says:

    Tommy, you said it all. This is not over. It can’t be over. This team is out of contention, so it’s time they at least salvage some dignity and start sticking up for themselves. LaRussa and Guillen are “You throw at us once, we will throw at you TWICE” guys, and consequently, pitchers respect their teams.

  7. mary says:

    I better not see David try to play any more this season. He needs to go home and rest if he wants to be a decent player next year. I pray that everything is as all right as it can be, but there is no need to be stupid about this. We are out, it dosne’t make a diffrence if he takes the last month and the half off.

  8. Mets4life says:

    First of all, Tipping your hat in baseball is a way for a pitcher to apologize for hitting a batter. If you guys watched the video Cain was a mess after he hit him. Doesn’t excuse him that he did it but whats done is done. D Wright is a juggernaut. He will be ok. Let him take the 15 days off and recover and he will be back hotter than ever. Ryan Church is a baby. His problem was that he had migraines also on top of his concussion that that he had since he was in High school. Ryan Church is a fag, So glad he is gone. Jeff Francoeur was a 1000% upgrade. We need more people like him. Get rid of Manuel and Minaya also. they are clueless. I also wish that the Wilpons would sell the Mets to a real owner that cares. They all suck. Thats why we are missing so much talent. Its not that they are hurt, Its that they don’t want to play for a crappy manager who can’t make a decision.
