So, at about 1:25 p.m. CST on 4/05/07, Mark Buehrle was nailed in the pitching hand by a line drive off the bat of Ryan Garko. Buehrle left the game immedaitely, bringing in Nick Masset.

 

Please use this thread for updates on Buehrle's injury, panicking, swearing, and so forth.

[panic,panic]

 

Hopefully Mark is OK.

It was his forearm, not his hand.

Gotta stay positive, as Buehrle is the one person who seems like he could handle an injury like this and recover the fastest.

It's happened before.

 

(Predicting the future)

 

2 hours from now: Mr. Buehrle has been diagnosed with a fracture in his pitching hand.

Tomorrow: Mr. Buehrle's fractured pitching hand has healed, and he is expected to make his next start.

Thank god.

 

Day to day.

No break=best possible news.

Best news of the season, by far.

Do they have an X-ray machine in the ballpark?

 

Anyway, glad to hear that it's only a bruise.

Yes they do.

he can miss a start in april w/o it f***ing the rotation so much right?

Thank God its a bruise...now I'm mad he didn't pick up the ball.

Our next offday is on the 12th, followed by another one on the 16th. We have 6 games, after today, between now and the next offday - 3 games with Minny, 3 games in Oakland. The rotation would have to turn over 1 time before the next offday is hit, so if no one is called up and Buehrle can't go, someone would have to work on short rest.

This year's really not starting the way I'd hoped. Buehrle leaving the game and NOT being hurt is the best thing to happen in a while. That's sad.

Sounds a lot like the CC situation.

Holy crap... I missed the game today and just saw the final score... my first reaction was, "YES, Buehrle had a good game and stabilized the staff..." then I looked at the box and almost crapped in my pants. Thank goodness it's only a bruise.

Through the accent, it sounds like Ozzie is saying Buehrle should be ready for his next start in the postgame interview.

I don't know -- I understand everything Ozzie says.

 

Glad he's good.

Thank god he's okay. I had visions of a season filled with eight walk, six passed ball outings from Charlie. Of course with what Burls did last year, that might not mean much of a difference. Anyhow, here's hoping the portsider is back on beam within a few days.

Just have Coop rub some Robitussen on his forearm and hell be good to go.

My friend mentioned the possibility that if Mark misses a start, we just give Masset the start and pull up Haeger to the pen. Don't see why not, Masset earned it.
