Umpire takes a Yu Darvish pitch to the kneecap in today's A's-Rangers game

Today's A's-Rangers game featured more than every single Athletic unloading on the Rangers - umpire Ron Kulpa was unlucky enough to take a Yu Darvish sinker (which hit the ground first - thankfully) to the kneecap. Amazingly, Kulpa walked it off, and it seemed like Darvish was the one rattled - a few pitches later, he gave up a 2-run homer to Daric Barton.
