Other than live sporting events on TV or online, I get my news via Twitter now. Other methods are molasses-slow by comparison. With no local or national televised broadcast of today’s game, that’s the way I first learned the details about Zack Cozart. In retrospect, 140-character messages were the easiest way to absorb the blow.
At 12:45 p.m., my feed filled up with reports that Zack Cozart had suffered what appeared to be a knee injury. It’s in no way fair that a player who gives his best every play of every inning of every game hurt himself on hustle, trying to beat out a ground ball out at first.
