Indians third baseman Juan Uribe, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your testicles, good sir.

Groin shots only seem to be fun when done intentionally. When it’s an accident, the fun stops. Don’t take my word for it, just look at Uribe who tried fielding a ball from Mike Trout, only to absorb the 106-mph ball straight to the family jewels.

Uribe immediately buckles to the ground, probably thinking of all the kids he won’t be able to have. At 37, he’s in the twilight of his athletic prime so this couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Of course, people are terrible, including the Indians’ Twitter account, though their posts were worth a few laughs.
There was a Draymond Green joke here and we just flat out missed it.
Sorry guys. We will get better. https://t.co/vMQ1T3Yw9k

None more funny than this one, though.

At least Uribe had a sense of humor when it was all said and done.
Juan Uribe (testicular contusion) said no BP today. Asked why he doesn't use a cup, he said: "I don't think the trainers have my size." Oh.
