Brock Stewart and Yasmani Grandal got crossed up in the third inning of today’s spring game between the Dodgers and White Sox. Grandal was expecting something soft and low when Brock Stewart buzzed a fastball high in the zone. Grandal was not able to recover and the pitch caught home plate umpire Tony Randazzo in the mask and collarbone. Randazzo immediately hit the ground and was clearly in pain. No one can blame him, a 90+ mph fastball doesn’t feel good hitting you anywhere let alone in the face. The 19 year vet was helped off the field by the stadium paramedics and taken off in a golf cart. Randazzo is one of the league’s best, umpiring 10 playoff series, including two World Series, and two All-Star games. There has been no word on his condition yet, but we’re all wishing him the best.
