per CTL today.

 

Swisher will be in LF, Griffey in CF.

 

Not sure on the extent of the injry.

 

:(

That is terrible news.

arm numbness from being hit by pitches on multiple consecutive days

arm numbness from being hit by pitches on multiple consecutive days

Is this for real?

 

he probably desperately just needed a day off.

Stiffness in the forearm is what is being reported.

 

If we win the 1st 2 games, give him the 3rd game off. If we win 1 of the first 2, we might be forced to get him in there on Thursday- can't afford a lost series by KC.

Well, he did get hit twice by pitches last night. Probably no big deal. I hope.

 

I'd like to say at least it's against KC, but with the way we've played lately, it's hard to say that.

Assuming it's his left forearm, then this is no big deal.

doesn't he lead the league in HBP?

 

that's gotta catch up with you at some point.

not good. hopefully it's just one game, but honestly we already knew Javy wouldn't give us a good chance to win anyways

I was at the game last night, it looked like at least one pitch hit him in that left forearm area.

You can have my title of Mr. Pessimism.

Didn't he get hit in every game of the BOS series? And more than once in the last Royals series as well?

 

He's taken a f'n beating.

 

Apparently, it's not from HBP. He tweaked something in batting practice.

apparently it's not OK to say the things we're all thinking.

 

give me a flippin' break.

 

you, and everyone else on this entire board has been on Javy's ass for the amount of sucking he's done outside of maybe one start, over the course of the entire year

 

forgive me if I don't buy into the belief that Javy will have a good game

 

string together 3-4 games then I'll start having some confidence

he's been hit in five straight games.

 

don't know if that is a record.

 

No need to find out.

Well that's not good. Are they saying he's day-to-day?

General soreness for CQ, as he felt sore/numb from getting hit.

I dislike Javy, and am pessimistic....but I think we have a better than 50 pct chance of winning tonight.

Assuming it's his left forearm, then this is no big deal.

 

The left forearm numbness that someone mentioned earlier is a distinct possibility. The radial nerve runs very superficial through the radial tunnel on the outside of the forearm. This nerve innervates all of the muscles which extend the wrist. If there was any edema in the area it could easily cause a decrease in the strength of the wrist.

 

This could effect his hitting so it's good to rest him if this is the case. He'll be getting one painful massage to the forearm and elbow that would make him wish he was playing and getting hit again.

While he's been scuffling for more than 2 months now he's had many more than 1 good starts this year.

Well that's not good. Are they saying he's day-to-day?

 

Kerry Sayers said it on Comcast, but no word if it's day to day. They said he was a late scratch.

 

Good to give him a day off to rest the arm and get some physical therapy. One of the reasons we have Griffey is to allow an OF'er to rest, but Griffey needs to contribute with the bat soon. All singles and 2 rbi's from Junior so far.

he was pretty good at the beginning of the year, he fell flat on his face right around the beginning of June and has sucked for the most part ever since (outside of his starts against the A's, and ironically KC)

And against Texas where he went 7 innings allowed 3 runs and struckout 10.
