Dodger reporter goes down Bernie’s slide and ends up on the 15 Day IL.

I’m not nearly savvy enough to add this audio the actual video, so please click play on this at the point in the video where he is at the top of the slide and about to go down:

‘I’m David Vassegh and this is Big Slide.’

Now I have to admit, when they showed this footage on Bally Sports last night, and they went to David on the sideline and he was rocking that cast, I thought to myself, ‘ahhhhhhh they put a cast on him for the extra effect, nice touch!’ Turns out that cast was no prop at all. Dude fractured his wrist AND fractured a rib when he slammed into the wall. ‘First I want to report that he’s okay.’ Well, yeah I guess he’s not dead, Joe. But ‘okay’ might be a bit of a stretch.

Anyway, you know who the big winner is in all of this? This guy:

‘You think this is a game?? You think this is a f@#$ing game??’- DMX/Bernie Brewer.

And Bernie was probably the only guy who could have warned David about the wall at the end of the slide. Sadly, Bernie had to take the mascot oath of silence, so David was on his own. Wonder if they had him sign a waiver before he took off?

Anyway, the Brewers took a tough loss against an absolute WAGON of a Dodger team, but hearing their reporter scream, ‘HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP,’ right before crashing into a wall cheered me up a bit. And if that’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

PS: This Dodger team is ridiculous. They have four, FOUR, legitimate MVP candidates in their every day lineup, and lead the league in runs scored AND ERA. I’ve seen a lot of loaded teams in my time watching baseball, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a team leading the league in ERA and runs scored this late into the season. Bananas.

Double PS: Please, for the love of Jobu, call up one of these blue-chip outfield prospects to play centerfield. Last night was a tough loss in a well played game, but it feels like this team could really use a fresh face in the lineup. You never know what a hot-hitting 22 year old kid can do for a locker room. Sal Frelick is tearing things up at AAA, the outfielder they got from the Padres for Hader (Ruiz) has been too, this squad needs an energy boost. Tyrone Taylor is what he is (an average outfielder with some power), Jonathan Davis is a great defender but offers little else, give one of the kids a shot.
