It was a good hit; it was a fair hit. It was a legal hit. It was a devastating hit. It was, nothing short of, an old-school train wreck for possession of the plate for the game winning run in the 12th inning. The diagnosis is remarkably not an upper-body injury; but a fractured lower leg bone as he was driven backwards during the collision. The injury is especially devastating for a catcher, who squats most of the game. As you can see from Baltimore's Matt Wieters, a talented, tough young catcher can really help a MLB young pitching staff. Posey's loss is tremendous for that club. We feel in the age of the long-ball, that bang-bang plays at the plate, and home run saving catches, sometimes go unnoticed. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110526&content_id=19599270&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb {the violent collision is featured within this link}
