May 5, 200917 yr needed that one. Great job by all the pitchers today. JJ with a nice outing, he was on cruise control for most of the game. No walks. Couldn't quite get through the 8th but the bullpen was terrific. Badenhop with 3 innings gets the win, terrific work by the Hopper. Losing streak over. :thumbup I heard Forte mention in the postgame that Hanley may have been injured on the slide trying to break up that last play of the game. Will update if I hear anything. Hopefully it's nothing because it looks like Cantu may have aggravated the hand injury again too.
May 5, 200917 yr glad to get the win, but the question is, at what cost? We lost Cantu, and may have lost Hanley. Hopper was great, and very good team effort today. Love it when perserverance breaks through.
May 5, 200917 yr Hopefully its nothing too serious with either players. Player of the game I'm giving to Badenhop. He pitched 3 great innings for us that kept us in the game. Hanley and JJ also had great games.
May 5, 200917 yr A win is a win, but they really need to get the bats out of their ass... Hopefully Hanley and Cantu are ok.
May 5, 200917 yr We do not need Cantu and Hanley going down for any stretch of time. Ugh! Hopper pitched well. JJ had like 68 pitches through 6 innings. Kind of a speed bump for him though after that. Let's see how this win looks like in the light of tomorrow morning.
May 5, 200917 yr Continuing from the other thread: There were no outs so it wouldn't have mattered if Hanley was called out. Unless there's a dead ball sub-rule. Then Paulino would've had to go back to 3rd I guess. What happens if all your players(PH's and pitchers) have been used and someone gets injured? Forfeit? The other team gets to choose a player to replace the injured player?

Then Paulino would've had to go back to 3rd I guess. Exactly, there was nothing to lose (game wise). At worse, Cantu gets called out on runner interference, which he would have been out anyways without the interference.
May 5, 200917 yr Tremendous work by the bullpen. I would seriously like to have badenhop as our 5th but then we would have an all righty rotation.
May 5, 200917 yr BTW, it's worth mentioning that Hanley was part of every scoring play, the HR in the 1st, hustling in on the bloop single in the 6th, and taking out Janish to break up the double play in the 14th. Also saved at least 1 run, maybe 2, in the top of the 8th with springing catch of the liner.
May 5, 200917 yr Hanley was Manly last night. Hopefully he is fine and continues playing well, like he has the past week or so.
May 5, 200917 yr What happens if all your players(PH's and pitchers) have been used and someone gets injured? Forfeit? The other team gets to choose a player to replace the injured player? Doesn't anybody know the answer to this? Noone else was curious either?
