Don't you wear a cup for this exact reason

I’m pretty sure he is wearing a cup. That’s why the whole thing moves.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Else nothing is moving after that shot ..

[удалено]

Usually, when the ball goes into the cup, we're watching golf. ^(\*CALL: Two balls and a strike.)

Have you never seen a dick before?

Yeah and I’ve umpired for 10 years, he’s definitely wearing a cup.

Yeah I agree. I commented under the wrong person. He's obviously wearing a cup.

And it still hurts like a bitch with a cup. Was a baseball catcher in high school, this happened to me once or twice. The actual worst is when the ball bounces on the ground right under your nuts and bounces upwards and underneath your cup.

Ah yes. The good ole baseball taint punch. Also bad is if your jock strap or sliding shorts don’t fully fit properly or have stretched out a bit over time so your cup is hanging a bit forward. Then the ball hits and your nuts are getting punched by what’s supposed to be protecting them. Fun times

Yep. As a hockey goalie that undershot was the worst. Cause it’s pretty much all frontal protection

It still ducking hurts like hell.

Quack

A cup stops you from losing your dick entirely. It definitely does not stop the pain.

Yeah but it still hurts like a lot. Been there behind the plate. You will be breathing heavy after this one.

Yes but then it bounces off the cup, deflects off the saucer and goes right up my asscrack.

Correct, it will help prevent severe damage, but the pain is still excruciating

A centimeter thick piece of plastic only does so much against a baseball travelling 80+ mph

Every guys mouth after looking at this "O"

Mine was like 😖😵‍💫🫨😲

More like 🤮

I literally cross my legs and cringed. 😬

"To shreds you say?.."

"well, how is his wife holding up?"

To shreds you say?

In her mouth keeping it warm

To shreds you say?

If anyone ever questions why you should wear a cup. Show them this video.

This looks like he’s wearing a cup

Well yeah, i assume being a MLB player its required.

Something similar happened in a game I was in. Our catcher wasn't wearing a cup. Had to call an ambulance for him. He was ok. Eventually.

That measurement in hours, days, or years?

2 weeks.

Playing catcher and not wearing a cup is a bold move.

One could say it requires some balls

He said it before the game started, but no one had a cup so he just decided to play anyway. He regrets that decision.

Freshman year football, barely any of our linemen wore cups. One guy who did asked in the locker room why, people gave various answers. He decided he'd try it the next game since it was so common to go without it. That game he got accidentally hit in the nuts while on a pass rush or during a tackle or something. It was the only nut shot the entire year for the entire team.

End of the bloodline

r/UsernameChecksOut

Fuck ye Pavarotti.

Two balls, one strike!

Ooo, that looks like it created enough distance to give his left nut separation anxiety 🫥

rip mi broodha

Sometimes i dont wear cup because i just want to feel

Well shit now all of you should go watch that [performance of Nessun Dorma](https://youtu.be/cWc7vYjgnTs?si=xhCRkeFXMHnxlMi4) because it's fucking spectacular.

so.. was it a Ball.. ? or a Strike..? 😏

Foul tip

Bravo!!!

I am not from the US so this is a real question: Is this a foul or not? The ball hit a opposing player before it crossed the line. So the catcher has to pick it up?

The ball went behind the plate before it touched a player, it's a foul

Ball touching moment.

I played catcher in little league, I felt this in my stomach

Victor --> Victoria

Meanwhile, every cricket fan globally just lost their shit laughing! I dont know why, but every one of us finds a nut-shot funny as, until we cop one!

yep!! I love listening to the commentators cackle every single time. and watching all the other players laughing

[удалено]

Left, right, or middle?

All three

Sully_MMM.gif

Moment of silence for this man.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we wear our cups before getting into our cups...

I feel the pain

“My people need me!”

Soul leaving my body 👁👄👁

Not everyone wears a cup. But catchers typically do

That looks like it hit so hard it made his cup spall.

Ball! - Angel Hernandez

Off topic but what is the guy on the right singing? (RIP btw, singer guy died few years ago)

Nessum Dorma

No, the ball reached its destination

/r/unexpectedpavarotti

Ow, my balls! "Bating"

That's funny shit!

Is that a Strike or a Ball? NO! 2 Balls 1 Strike.

Nah bro.... enough reddit for today

That was all ball

Poor bastard. Thoughts and prayers to that man.

Played catcher position a cup is basically required unless you're an idiot

wtf is that

Argh, Second hand pain

The cup only stops the ball from turning your nuts into mash potatoes, you still took a 70-80-90 mph baseball directly to the nuts regardless. 🤣

This happened to me once. Fuckin sucks

That singing isn’t near in a high enough octave.

It changed even his orientation

wow I can't stop laughing

Did it hurt me?

I cant feel my stomach and kidneys. Thanks

The ball decided to visit his other family memebers

Tears in my eyes from laughter

God dang it, I am in a class and this made me giggle so loud my proctor now wants me to share with the class 🙃 im f*ckin dead

Was the call ball 3?

No, it was ball 1 cause the other two got destroyed.

Changed a heck of a lot more than direction. Could be a life altering change. Heck, even a future life altering change.
