Is Jessica Mendoza really trying to tell me that AJ Hinch didn't know who Brantley was until last years ASG?

A scorcher, bad-hop clocked him on the chin. 
He tried to make a play but just turned aside, squatted, and held his head. 
He left groggy, moving his jaw, and rubbing below his left ear, as he walked on on his own.
