That news could have easily been worse.

What news is everyone thinking they're seeing here?  He got put on the 15 day IL because they wanted another arm available tonight and we don't know anything other than he has a hamstring strain.  Has anyone seen anything from the scan he was getting today?

Yeah i havent seen anything, just that they are waiting on imaging. He could be out longer, they have a free bullpen arm up in Hallowell until Shotas next start on Saturday/Sunday

[BKHoo]

Did everyone see this?

Maybe a nothing burger but wouldn’t it be great if they signed both PCA and KT in season??!!

 

Tucker open to talks in season?

One win? I hope you are right.  The guy was dealing. 

They’re mythical wins, not real ones.

I am also confused about what some are calling good news. It is standard to put a pitcher in the 15 day IL when he gets hurt. Doesn’t mean he is back in 15 days. Just means he isn’t in the 60 day, which would have been very bad news. This is just standard procedure. If we are lucky he will be back the first week in June. I don’t expect earlier.

A lot of comments regarding Tucker being willing to talk during the season. Might be a nothing burger, but when it is brought up often and my different people, that is encouraging. Hopefully they can get both Tucker and PCA signed. That would definitely chance the opinion of the ownership of this team.

Agreed here. This means nothing.  Just going based off what I saw with Shota and having a ton of experience with hamstring injuries, I would be very surprised if he pitches again this month.

They need to be very careful with the hamstring. Don’t want him favoring it and hurting something else. I agree if they think he is fine after 3 weeks they should give him another week.!just be very careful with it. They should be ok without him for a month.

I think that guy wants to kiss J.D. 😳

But would you pay 30m for a 3 WAR position player?  And ones who are prone to injury including surgeries where you're out 1-2 years.

Found Jerry Rhinesdorf!

GG Ian Happ ladies and gentlemen. If that got passed him, it’s 1-0 Giants.

Happ can keep doing his Wade Boggs but if he wants to go Ted Williams on em that would be great too.

[squally1313]

.351 wOBA, 126 wRC after that home run. Dude is a metronome. 

[CubinNY]

Little Nicky with pick

[JHBulls]

Fantastic defensive play from our 19th 3rd baseman, Nicky Lopez.

[UMFan83]

Damn 2 outs 2 strikes. Now tied

[JHBulls]

That was really sucky. And undeserved, Boyd has been excellent.

[CubinNY]

Did Boog die?
