He didn&#8217;t cry. He didn&#8217;t charge the mound. He simply took off his shin guard and walked to first base like a boss while giving Chapman the death stare. I was expecting the trainer to at least <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n0Go6Vw3o04\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>pour some Robitussin<\/strong><\/a> on McCutchen&#8217;s arm. What a beast!
