CSF Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 And they're trailing 4-2 to Cleveland. We may not be the only team suffering from early season blues (I can't believe I'm saying that, IT WAS ONE GAME!). Anyway, Mauer is out of this game. That would be horrible for the Twinkies if he missed significant time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 As I said on the other board, the injury didn't look serious at all. He was running towards home, and had to stop and retreat back to 3rd. Didn't appear to have a look of pain on his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Damn just the second game of the season and your stud catcher gets injured... They better hope none of their pitchers get hurt. They don't have the depth of the bullpen like last year to carry the load from 5-7 innings pitched from a starter so I don't think Mauer's injury affects the twins as much as the team's future.

CWSGuy406 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Also, Johan Santana left the game - he strained something in their arm. I like that guys stuff, but, I dont think he'll be able to stay healthy for a whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 We just gotta worry about our guys. The Twins could lose half their team and it would mean s***, if we don't take care of our own business... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 We just gotta worry about our guys. The Twins could lose half their team and it would mean s***, if we don't take care of our own business... exactly, we're only one game into the season and we're already watching the scoreboard. what if, and i'm not saying it's likely, the tigers or indians become the royals of 2004? let's wait a month at least to see how things start shaping out before we start scoreboard watching.

Nokona Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Torii Hunter also sprained(?) maybe pulled his hammy. He was taken out in the 11th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Starting pitcher Johan Santana left the April 6 game with the Indians in the fifth inning with an injury to his left forearm. Santana, the only left-hander in the rotation, called trainer Jim Kahmann to the mound after he felt spasms in his forearm on his third pitch of the fifth. He was replaced by Carlos Pulido. Rookie C Joe Mauer left in the third inning of the April 6 game with a mildly sprained left knee. A team spokesman said Mauer was hurt sliding in attempt to catch a foul ball behind the plate in the top of the inning. His status is day-to-day. ... good news!

moochpuppy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm guessing LeCroy will split time there with Henry Blanco. When LeCroy is catching Offerman should be DHing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I think Bengie Molina started the season on the DL, so both Paul and Jose Molina made the roster. Jose hit a homer yesterday for the Angels. Tough loss for the Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Just saw on Roto that Mauer is out 3 weeks. MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - Minnesota Twins rookie catcher Joe Mauer has a torn meniscus cartilage in his left knee and will be sidelined indefinitely. Twins general manager Terry Ryan confirmed on Wednesday that Mauer, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, will undergo surgery at a date to be determined. Now it sounds a little more serious than 3 weeks... from rotoworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Matt LeCroy is a friggin moose--if he went up north during hunting season he would be in serious danger. Um, that's all.
