 I think it was the initial discomfort and pain that caused him to slam the bat down. Now he walks past first base as he got it. Oh, side of the knee. Yeah, it looked like he was going to miss him, but he leaned back into it, which is the natural reaction of the batter to move away from a pitch in, but the pitch kept boring in on him because it was a cutter, and that caused him to get hit on the knee. Lipscomb's at second, and Abrams at first with one out.
