Miami Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton suffered an extremely scary injury after the Milwaukee Brewers' Mike Fiers hit him in the face with a pitch on Thursday night. For those of you who haven't seen what happened, you can check out the video at MLB.com. (Warning: The video is graphic.)

The Marlins' social media team could've handled things better, considering the nature of the injury. This was on their Instagram page the night of the incident:

A number of commenters expressed disappointment with the team's image selection. Miami pitcher Steve Cishek even chimed in to let the team know that this picture wasn't appropriate.

The Marlins eventually deleted the post.

Miami did post a different picture on Friday morning, with a "#GetWellGiancarlo" caption.
