vs. WHITE SOX, 6/12

[spiritof66]

From http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1193015-mlb-the-most-nagging-yet-debilitating-injuries-in-baseball :

"When a player suffers an oblique strain, there is a minimum period of between six and eight weeks required for the injury to heal before a player can even return to baseball activities. Needless to say, an oblique strain is not an injury that any baseball player ever wants to experience."

Disappointing Adam.

Might be Pedro Alvarez's big break.

Good point!

Jones look like he pulled up a little hobbled?

[25 Nuggets]

How in the world is the starting pitching WORSE than last year?....

He might as well join Davis on the DL then.

Tell you what, if we're going to forfeit, I expect Ubaldo to pitch until he's thrown 200 pitches. I don't care. Burn him.

Line 'em up. Get 'em on the DL. Why not just swap the names and numbers of the Orioles and Tides players now and get it over with.

Thorne was talking about something called a "shutdown inning." I think I've heard of those things, but I can't remember what they are. Is just a theoretical construct, or can they happen in real life?

He really should. At some point, we get it, you're tough, but if it is going to affect you getting to balls (not saying that knuckling fly ball was missed due to his injury) I'm not trying to wait for a game were he ends up laid out on the ground with a more serious injury.

It's when you turn off your TV..'shut down' the computer and find something else to do. Ref: Firestone, Roy

Man this sucks.  I don't want us to be terrible again.  

[MDK02]

This is just not fun to watch anymore. There's a new injury every week it seems, and the pitching is so atrocious.

Can you use it in a sentence?:

Chris Tillman's performance in the first inning Saturday against the Yankees turned it into a shut down inning for me.

Dan Duquette must go.

 

There is no longer a debate to be had.
