July 18, 200422 yr Anybody know how bad he hurt himself at the end of the game? I saw in the game thread he was being pinch hit for in the 9th. If anyone hears an update, let us know.
July 18, 200422 yr Probably not horribly if he played out that inning after slamming into the wall. Maybe just sore?
July 18, 200422 yr What happened? 462477[/snapback] misplayed a ball in RF and crashed into the wall... although I think the ball hit him in the hand
July 18, 200422 yr What happened? 462477[/snapback] misplayed a ball in RF and crashed into the wall... although I think the ball hit him in the hand 462501[/snapback] So where did he get hurt? Shoulder or something??

July 18, 200422 yr in related news, Cabs continues to play below average defense in right field. (not that I have a solution to that or anything...) remember last season when he was making diving plays & catching balls on the run & at the wall? for a while I thought he might be okay out there. sigh....oh well, still young. Hopefully he'll improve over time.
July 18, 200422 yr Below average is a vast understatement. If he makes 2 plays that he should in the 8th inning we are winners tonight.
July 18, 200422 yr i have come to the genius conclusion that Cabrera does not belong in the OF and will never be good defensively
July 18, 200422 yr I'll be damned if you guys are gonna start hating on Cabrera...so he's going through a bit of a rough time...look at how JETER played in the beginning of the year...he's (Cabrera) an all-star player, untouchable...don't forget the diving catches he's made out there for us in the past. One game means nothing when there's so many more left in the season.
July 18, 200422 yr He has sucked defensively all year sand. He needs to get the hell out of right field fast.
July 18, 200422 yr I remember a couple of spectacular diving catches at the beginning of the year, forgot against who...he's just going through a bit of a rough time..
July 18, 200422 yr i guess we really have no choice though... i mean you could put him in LF but he could f*** up there too
July 18, 200422 yr I remember a couple of spectacular diving catches at the beginning of the year, forgot against who...he's just going through a bit of a rough time.. 462555[/snapback] houston
July 18, 200422 yr Author I, for one, hope Cabs is fine and is back in RF tomorrow. He has been one of the few guys hitting well. He made some bad plays in the field in the bottom of the 8th, and it cost us. That's going to happen to everyone from time to time, 21 year olds are especially prone to mistakes. However, he'll have more good days than bad ones. Anyways, I want him healthy, back in the field, and back in the lineup.
July 18, 200422 yr Well to put it in perspective, Cabrera drove in 2 runs, and misplayed a ball that negated those :plain
July 18, 200422 yr I hope all is well with Cabs. In a close game like tonights why not a defensive replacement in late innings. At least Nunez is an outfielder, unlike Cabs an infielder stuck in the OF.
July 18, 200422 yr Cabrera is RF is not going to cost us games. Ever. But I wish Jack would stop flip flopping he and Lowell. Keep Cabs and Lowell in one spot.
July 18, 200422 yr Author Good news: "The finger wasn't swollen or cut, and Cabrera said he is hopeful of playing Sunday afternoon in the series finale against the Pirates." Cabrera Update
July 18, 200422 yr Cabrera is RF is not going to cost us games. Ever. But I wish Jack would stop flip flopping he and Lowell. Keep Cabs and Lowell in one spot. 462769[/snapback] This is the most ridiculous comment ever. Right off the top of my head I can remember 2 games where cabrera's errors have cost us games. Once in atlanta in extra innings, tonight.
July 18, 200422 yr i have come to the genius conclusion that Cabrera does not belong in the OF and will never be good defensively 462543[/snapback] lol - He's 21
July 18, 200422 yr give the guy a break half the people on the team wouldnt have gone up for the ball hes 21 hes got balls lets name some other people who would sacrifice there body for the team( besides JP) even if he missed the catch
