Let me get the bad news out of the way. Tonight in Tennessee, Nico Hoerner was hit with a pitch and left the game. The Smokies are saying that the ball hit him in the forearm, which is good news as compared to being hit in the wrist, which is what it looked like on video. But we don’t have a report on its severity and we likely won’t until sometime on Wednesday. I will say that Hoerner barely reacted to getting hit. Whether that’s because it didn’t hurt much or because Hoerner is one tough hombre, I can’t tell you.
