Jose Alvarez Takes One Squarely in the Crotch, Finishes the Play
Published:
This play is nuts.
Watch Jose Alvarez take a 105.3 mile-per-hour line drive right into the gonads, stay up, and then throw the runner out at first anyway:

Talk about painful. It hurts just watching the video.
To have Alvarez carted off the field is no bueno. He had just come in and thrown two pitches before this happened. Top of the 6th right now, Phillies up 2-1.
