“I don't think he's having kids anytime soon” - MLB Twitter winces in pain after Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain takes a baseball to the groin

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain is going to have cramps tonight. When New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme roped a base hit into centerfield, Cain approached the ball to catch it on a bounce. However, Citi Field is unfamiliar terrain for the outfielder; he's not used to the way balls bounce on the grass.

He came up a little too close and jumped a little too early, trying to correct the ball's unanticipated hop. It came up sharply and hit him directly in the groin area. Cain winced and grabbed the ball. He held on to it for longer than usual as he winced in pain. He weakly tossed it to second base and then went down to his knees. He was in considerable pain.

Upon replaying the footage, the commentators realized that it was a direct hit.

"Oh!" One said. "That hurts just looking at it."
