Oakland A's player Sean Murphy's buns are definitely not made of steel.

A slow-mo clip of the player taking a wild pitch to the backside during Monday night's game proves Murphy is a 'more bounce to the ounce' kind of guy. And it has Twitter captivated.

Buns of Steel could never.

The clip:

Let's get into some context, shall we?

Murphy's Oakland A's played against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The Rays starting pitcher was injured during the first inning forcing relief pitcher, Chris Mazza, into the game several innings (and hours) earlier than expected.

Mazza had little opportunity to warm up before entering the game; which can mean stiffer muscles, slower movement, and decreased ball control.

Mazza's first pitch—to Sean Murphy—was way off target... unless the target was Murphy, himself.

The pitch cut well into the batters box, and straight for Murphy's side. He could have moved out of the way, but instead chose to hold his ground and arch his back, letting the ball hit and bounce off of the side of his meatier rump/round region.

For you non-baseball fans out there, if the pitcher hits you, you get a free move. Murphy wasn't just taking bruise-inducing balls to the butt for fun.

At least not his fun, anyway. Twitter is having a blast.












Murphy is very aware that him being double cheeked up on a Monday evening is breaking the internet, and honestly he thinks it's hilarious. He talked about the hit-by-pitch and social media's reaction to it during a brief interview with NCS.

Murphy even congratulated the camera person for a great shot!

We wish Murphy's likely-bruised badonkadonk a speedy recovery.

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

When Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor in June, Republicans and some old school Democrats were positively apoplectic.

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.

People Who Quit Their Jobs On Day One Reveal What Made Them Say 'Nope, Not Doing This'

Every now and then, simply because we need money, we might take a job that doesn't fulfill us in any way, but at least keeps our bank accounts happy.

Some jobs, however, are so soul-sucking that even with no other prospects immediately on the horizon, we can't, in good conscience, keep working them.
