Pray for Nick

[Moose Milligan]

Fatass Sabathia just hit him on the hand, Nick's out of the game, no word yet.

This would be a huge, huge blow if it's serious.

[Jagwar]

Did not look or sound good at all. Wouldn't be surprised if he broke something in his throwing hand, maybe his thumb.

[statman]

Stupid Sabathia...I hope we take out Jeter. Hopefully Nick is okay.

[Orioles4Life21]

Hit Jeter hit Jeter hit Jeter hit Jeter hit Jeter hit Jeter.

[SteveO]

Yea that did not look or sound good at all and the fact that he was immediately over to the bench, trouble taking off glove etc only makes it look worse. What a horrible blow if he is out. Gonna hope for the best but ugh......

[weams]

The way he went right to the trainer means it's likely broken. If so, its a major major loss for this team.

I think so as well.

Let's say a finger is broken... how long is that recovery time?

[Jagwar]

The way he went right to the trainer means it's likely broken. If so, its a major major loss for this team. Now..Id consider Hoes as an option to go with Avery.

Really? Bring in a guy who has never been in the Major Leagues right in the middle of a pennant race?

[Moose Milligan]

Reminds me of the time that idiot Tim Leary broke Hoiles' wrist. Granted, Leary was scuffing the ball and Sabathia wasn't...but still a huge blow.

[jonesing4pie]

Going right to the trainer does not mean it's likely broken. That is a rather bold and unsubstantiated claim. I'm not saying it isn't but lets see what they say.

Yeah, kinda like what they did with Machado.

[DuffMan]

That sounded bad. Hoping for the best, expecting the worst.

[square634]

Let's say a finger is broken... how long is that recovery time?

I'd think at least 6-8 weeks.

[Jagwar]

Yeah, kinda like what they did with Machado.

I know what you mean. But it seems a little different bringing Manny up in early August, compared to bringing up Hoes in early September.

Would Hoes even be eligible for the postseason if he came up?

[Danielos38]

I'd think at least 6-8 weeks.

Shoot. I was hoping it was one of those 4 week deals.
