Amidst Laughter of Broadcasters, Potentially Life-Threatening Situation Erupts at Cincinnati

Few teams have surprised fans as much as the Cincinnati Reds this season. Be it their exciting prospects proving their worth or the solid play from their more experienced members. All of this has led them to be in a playoff spot. But a potentially harmful incident occurred most recently as the team?s latest game was suspended.?

Many players have suffered severe injuries during both the Spring Training and the regular season. But accidents happen outside of the time of play as well. The one such recent case is where a Reds? ground crew luckily avoided a dangerous situation.?

Cincinnati Reds? Grounds Crew Member Avoids Possibly Harmful Tarp Accident

The Reds recently took on the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a 3-game home series. It was a close 2-2 contest before rain interrupted play and suspended the game. The ground crew quickly ran onto the field with a tarp to protect the mound and infield from the rain.

But as they ran to cover the field, one crew fell and got caught under the tarp as commentators laughed. It was a potentially dangerous incident, but luckily, he was relatively unscathed.

MLB on FOX shared a video of the incident on Instagram. In the caption, they said, ?The tarp monster takes another victim ???.

Fortunately, the grounds person escaped from under the tarp and had no severe injuries. But the situation could have been much worse. This arises in the face of mounting incidents, eliciting questions from fans.?

During an away game, Aaron Judge suffered an injury against the Los Angeles Dodgers this year. This has led to questions over whether Judge will sue Dodger Stadium. Irrespective of that, this incident was the best-case scenario, as it hurt no one.?

The Reds? Game Has Been Postponed

The game between the Reds and the Giants has been postponed. It will resume on the 18th of July at 5:40 pm at The Great American Ballpark. Fans who missed the ending of this game will be allowed to watch its completion tomorrow. The happiness of the fans is not only limited to this.

Furthermore, the team is also offering a $5 discount for fans with today?s tickets to watch tomorrow?s game. This is a great deal, as they watch an extra game at a lower price, if the rain does not strike again.?

The Cincinnati Reds? grounds crew member avoided a close call in what could have been a nasty incident. What do you think about him getting trapped under the tarp?
