Archie Bradley OK After Taking Liner To Face - RealGM Wiretap
Archie Bradley was struck in the face by a line drive Tuesday night, leading to sinus cavity damage.
The Arizona Diamondbacks rookie hit the ground immediately after a second-inning shot off the bat of Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez hit him above the jaw on the right side of his face.
The 22-year-old stayed face down for several minutes as trainers attended to him and teammates squatted near the mound. He was able to get to his feet, walk off the mound and let the crowd know he was OK with a thumbs-up gesture.
He was released from a Phoenix hospital and back with his teammates before the end of the game.
"I tried to throw a curveball in there for a strike and I saw the pitch going towards the plate, then I woke up and I was laying down," Bradley said. "I got myself together and opened my eyes. I could see, wiggled my feet and the next thing I know the trainers are there."
Gonzalez was distraught after the game, saying his night was ruined and that he intended to visit Bradley.
"That is one thing you see once in a while on the diamond that you really wish you never see when you are playing," Gonzalez said. "For me as a hitter, it's a nightmare. It's something you don't try to do. Seeing one of those guys going down

Messi Helped Convince Dani Alves To Stay With Barcelona - RealGM Wiretap
Lionel Messi played a role in convincing Dani Alves to re-sign with Barcelona.
Alves claimed to be almost sure of leaving the club more than once over that time, and sides including Milan, Paris Saint Germain, Manchester United and Liverpool all seen as potential destinations.
"Messi said to me 'Dani stay, where are you going to be better than here,'" Alves said. "And for a long time we have said that we live very well at this club. We have the things we need in this city. A year ago, when there were rumours that they wanted to sign Leo and wanted to sell me

Alves said he had actually changed his mind about leaving during the emotional celebrations of Barca's Treble win at the Camp Nou last Sunday.
"I was not liking it here," he said. "I felt a lack of respect because I had done my work. I had the feeling that when things went badly the club blamed me.
"Until the celebration at the Camp Nou, not just for the fans but also my teammates, when I was won over emotionally, I was not going to stay. [Then] I felt I had been wrong, that the fans do love me here, they value me, and these things pushed me to this decision."
