4/5 Arizona (Enright) @ Chicago (Cashner) 1:20PM CSN

[Rob]

From exciting to depressing in the course of one mound visit. Damn.

[BeerHere]

(not watching) Any indication on the injury? elbow? shoulder?

Looks like shoulder.

[wekim81]

well god damn. From cloud 9 to a [expletive] sandwich in the span of 5 minutes.

Len and Bob were speculating shoulder but there really was very little indication of what it was.

Cashner didn't grab anything, but Len and Bob think its fatigue in the shoulder. Cashner didn't even look into the dugout he just turned to go back to the mound, the trainer saw something came out and talked to him.

[CubmanPi]

Dammit dammit dammit :banghead:

[Guest]

The D'Backs announcers are supposedly speculating that it's a blister problem.

 

We can only hope.

[MWV]

Let's hope they're just being VERY careful with him.

[Guancous]

On a scale of Nolan Ryan to Dave Dravecky, what was Cashner's reaction to his shoulder injury?

 

Was he grimacing and rubbing it or writhing on the infield in pain?

[wekim81]

I'd love him as a starter but if he's not a guy who can regularly make 100 pitch outings lets cut our losses and put him back in the pen.

[CubmanPi]

Or let's just hope he's good with a towel amirite amirite!

If its blisters

 

(a) That would be great

 

(b) He would have even a little more in common with Kerry.

[Schwarber Fan]

good thing Koyie can still play defense to justify his roster spot

Not at all. His arm dropped oddly after the pitch but other than that no real indication as to what happened.

Oh come on.

[JonJayCutler]

Of course with Wood and Prior still fresh in Cub fans' minds, it's completely normal to expect the worst. I think he'll be fine though. I hope.

[Old Style]

I know an ex-teammate of his at TCU. I'll see if I can get some info from him.

He dropped his shoulder. That's it. Didn't rub it, didn't flop his arm around like he was trying to get it to loosen up.

[Rob]

Well, I'd have to imagine Wood and Marmol are unavailable today. Marshall had a shortened outing yesterday, but it was his third day in a row as well.

 

Looks like this is up to Samardzija, Russell, Mateo, and Grabow.

Wow...1st game of the year and we're already talking about putting him in the pen. Even if he doesn't come out due to an injury, I don't think you pitch him past the 6th anyway.

[inari]

Seeing Samardzija without an out pitch is... familiar.

[UMFan83]

"Hey Silv...have you read the papers lately? No? Oh...well that whole 'cut from the team' thing, that was all a joke. We've been looking all over for you since then. Sorry for the mixup. Can you start in 5 days?......wait...you've gained 40 pounds in a week?....and you did WHAT to a hooker?...umm....ok well just get over here, we'll get it straightened out with the cops."

[Sammy Sofa]

Swinging k for Shark.

Samardzija for two, Russel/Mateo, then Grabow. That's what I'm imagining, anyway.
