8/26 Braves (H. Ramirez) vs. Brewers (Sheets) 7:05 CST

[heeptom]

So my heart just came out of my stomach - still would like to hear that he will be ok (100%) for his next start but just a strain sounds ok to me right now.

[lithium75]

worst case, Tommy John or Rotator cuff

 

Best case, strain, contusion

 

middle of the road, muscle tear.

 

Wish I had a better option to look at. 90% sure he's done for this year...now I can start writing that best selling novel, or something

[cirillo26]

May miss start, may not miss start?

 

I guess some see the cup half full, as opposec to half empty.

[Brew Crewsader]

How did JJ get to second? What did Rooter do in his AB?

 

Got it. Sac Bunt. Gameday sucks so much. It still says he's batting.

[H0FFY]

you guys are killing me, I just go happy goosebumps when you say lat strain... and I explain to my Russian wife who know nothing about baseball.... how lucky we are...

 

and they someone says shoulder

 

help me guys...

 

lat or shoulder

[Riebes24]

Hmmm, I guess less people will be taking their own lives tonight in that case.

Riiight...because we've never seen anything like that before, where a guy is cruising along, throws one pitch, and whamo, he's next seen playing soft toss 9 montsh later. If doesn't have surgery, I'll eat his hat.

If we are going to waste a batter to bunt, I guess it should be Magruderhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/grin.gif

Sac bunt...

 

Almost paid off... Brady had a double taken away by a web gem by Chipper.

[lithium75]

I have never been so happy to hear the word strain. My new favorite word for the week is strain

[cirillo26]

Magruder got the bunt down? pinch hitting?

 

Couldn't the pitcher just have done that?

[EdgarDiazRocks]

It sounds similar to the injury from earlier in the year.

 

Lets wait for an MRI before we start dancing.

 

That did not look good.

[Milltownhooker]

Worst case scenario he's done for the year & gets all of the off-season to heal. Not great, but certainly better than I felt when he went down

[Brew Crewsader]

Lat is upper back muscles correct? Latissimus Dorsi is full name.

 

At least its not his shoulder......

[ThePurpleStorm]

OK. Ball game time.

[Riebes24]

Best case, strain, contusion

 

So he got punched in the shoulder really hard when he threw that pitch????

[Katuluu]

It's a right lat strain HOFFY. TBS announcers think he may have first aggrivated it during his AB the previous inning as he noticably grimaced during his swing.

[clancyphile]

If that is the case, kiss .500 good-bye.

 

I thought we'd dodged the bullet on aces getting hurt...

That's ok though, if we lost him I would have to wonder aimlessly around in the woods trying to decide what to do with my life.

[DSFastball55]

Tommy John is the elbow, not the shoulder.

That is the extent of my medical knowledge.

[lithium75]

All depends on how bad the muscle is dammaged, and if tendons or ligaments are involved. The best case scenario now is cramp. I never thought I would be wishing for a cramp and hoping for a strain

[Braktalk]

OMG I need a more accurate update!

[naivin]

My money is still on shoulder surgery, but even if it is just a strain (kind of like good ol' tendonitis), with only a month left in the season, I gotta believe its doubtful he pitches any more this year. Maybe he'll be ready for the playoffs though.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

 

Guess we'll find out soon enough. Hopefully it is just some sort of muscle strain.

[lithium75]

Hold on now, I am not watching the game and didn't have to see what happened. Oh yeah, and you don't need to be hit to sustain a contusion. A bruise forms when blood vessels break, any strenuous activity can cause an injury categorized as a contusion, so lay off

[Milltownhooker]

Have to wait for the MRI & then how it responds in the next week or so.
