A-Rod hit in face (Don't panic)

You mean he didn't get downed for the season? Damn.

Getting hitting in the face changes your approach to batting for the next few (weeks?) and in some cases months. Whether it'll help him or hurt him is the question.

He wasn't hit while batting. He was hit while playing third, so his batting approach shouldn't be affected.
