August 6, 200520 yr This is not something that we needed.... I wonder if we contracted the same injury bug that the Cardinals have during the last series.... :mischief2
August 7, 200520 yr Roxy said he left with a "sore" hamstring, and emphasized that the report didnt say "pulled". Hopefully thats a good sign
August 7, 200520 yr I hope LoDuca's injury is nothing too serious. if he goes on the DL, I would think AA catcher Jason Hill would get the call 891488[/snapback] What about Jorgensen? Disabled still?
August 7, 200520 yr What about Jorgensen? Disabled still? 891515[/snapback] No, his problem is that he's hitting .197 in the hitter-friendly PCL.
August 7, 200520 yr Losing him would be incredibly bad. His clutch hitting and patient bat is one of the few things that is pushing the Marlin's recent surge of offense lately. Lets hope he gets right soon.
August 7, 200520 yr What about Jorgensen? Disabled still? No, his problem is that he's hitting .197 in the hitter-friendly PCL. Thanks, fran. I'm on some ridiculously slow dial-up here -- so bad, I can't even open MiLB.com (thanks, BellSouth). :thumbdown
August 7, 200520 yr Call up Mordy! 891654[/snapback] It's actually closer to coming to that than I think any of us would like.
August 7, 200520 yr This reallly stinks with out Lo Duca we may be screwed!! lets hope its nothing bad it diddnt look like it was that bad he will b back
August 7, 200520 yr Right now half the league is on waiver lists (I'm exaggerating to make a point), if LoDuca is seriously injured Beinfest will move heaven and earth to find a Mike deFelice type to fill in. But let's not get ahead of ourselves...he may be dinged up and limping but able to play.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves...he may be dinged up and limping but able to play. 891959[/snapback] Yeah, remember, LoDuca did play with a broken thumb...the man's tough. I think his leg would have to be broken for him to miss more than 2 days.
August 7, 200520 yr Here's the update on LoDuca as reported by the Sun-Sentinel "...Lo Duca reached on a second-inning double and strained his right hamstring trying to advance to third on a fly out. Lo Duca clutched at the back of his leg before third baseman Rich Aurilia tagged him. He limped off and was replaced by Matt Treanor. "I did it like four years ago in the same spot," said Lo Duca, who spent time on the disabled list in 2001 in part because of a left hamstring strain. "The last time I pulled it, it was way worse than this and I played 10 or 12 days later. Hopefully this time it will be four or five or even shorter." Lo Duca had the benefit of being evaluated by a hamstring authority. Tim Kremchek, the Reds' medical director, has preformed revolutionary hamstring surgery on Ken Griffey Jr., among others. Kremckek didn't think Lo Duca's injury was severe. The Marlins will re-evaluate him this morning before deciding whether to make a roster move." http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/basebal...-sports-marlins
August 7, 200520 yr It's a shame Willingham, warts and all, is on the DL. Looks like Treanor's our guy for awhile.
August 7, 200520 yr Tough part is the double header on Monday. Don't envy Beinfest on this decision...
August 7, 200520 yr They may not want to DL LoDuca if he can be back in four to seven days, probably send Messenger back down and bring up Hill or Jorgenson.
August 7, 200520 yr They may not want to DL LoDuca if he can be back in four to seven days, probably send Messenger back down and bring up Hill or Jorgenson. 892007[/snapback] Rather see Valerio get dropped. Don't discount DL'ing Encarnacion. If he was MRI'd, it isn't something that'll fix itself tomorrow.
August 7, 200520 yr For what it's worth, Hill is no longer listed with a team on MiLB.com 892011[/snapback] Hill played 1st base yesterday for the mudcats, anderson caught correction: it was tonight, just turned midnight. hill caught friday night, he's still on the roster unless he's been called up in the last few hours.
August 7, 200520 yr For what it's worth, Hill is no longer listed with a team on MiLB.com 892011[/snapback] Not to say that isn't intriguing, but didn't we go through this with Hermida a week or two ago?
August 7, 200520 yr I'm sure if anything happens, TRESOP will let us know. nothing on the newswires yet other than what I posted above.
August 7, 200520 yr Hill was "not listed on a team" previous to the game tonight anyway Hill isnt said to have a great glove but his bat is definitely there
August 7, 200520 yr Hill was "not listed on a team" previous to the game tonight 892036[/snapback] Ah was unaware like I said "for what it's worth" and it ain't worth much I guess
