Admin Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 After being hit with a pitch in today's game, Stanton exited with a left wrist contusion. He's now having x-rays done at a local hospital. Update: X-Rays were negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy42Jack0 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 He didn't look like he was in a lot of pain and the wrist and hand have a lot of nerve endings. I'm no doc, but I think Giancarlo is day to day and will probably sit a few out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The Mets announcers seemed excited, hoping he was done for the season. After the pitch hit him, they said "boy, not something Marlins fans want to see!" about three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Life Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Unreal.. That douche of a pitcher will pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Me Some Fish Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I feel bad for the ball more than I do Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hope it's not as serious as when I hurt my left wrist a few weeks ago...Was just a bad bruise but seemingly took forever for the pain to go away. Worst part was I could barely workout because it hurt my wrist when I tried to lift weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Contustion -> fancy word for bruise I am a doctor. Lets hope x-rays show nothing is broken. He should be fine, hopefully just precautionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikol87 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Who was the guy who hit Lowell in August 2003? I wanted him dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Ramos Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Bad news. Reports are he broke his Metacorpis and tore his MCP. Could be 2-4 months. JK... I just made that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 If it's actually broken, how long would he be out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 According to Rotoworld there have been times where the Marlins have said a player had a simple bruise before x-rays revealed a fracture...Guess there's no real way to be sure without an x-ray.

Marlins Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Marlins have already said that Stanton won't travel to Ft. Myers tomorrow. No point of risking anything. The Marlins trainers said they don't think he broke his wrist, but again, there's no real way of knowing anything for sure without x-rays. Stanton said his hand isn't too bad right now & that it simply "locked up" right after it was hit. He predicts it will be "nice and fat" tomorrow.

Marlins Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 For those who are curious, Mike, I mean Giancarlo, got hit by Chris Schwinden who had just entered the game with the bases loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 If it's actually broken, how long would he be out for? Depends what's broken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Me Some Fish Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Not sure how similar the injuries are, but how long did Lowell miss in '03 when he broke his wrist? Then again, both had different kind of bodies, and one is really young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJuice Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Giancarlo's bones are laced with adamantium.... so no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico1270 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Almonte from the Expos hit Lowell in 03. Mike missed 32 games. Héctor Almonte played 15 for the Marlins in 99 and was in the minors until 01. He then left to Japan, Red Sox and Expos. He played in the minors until 2009 in the Golden Baseball League. Edit: My bad. He missed 26 games. He was injured on August 30th, and he came back on the last game on the regular season against the Mets, September 28th.

Marlins Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Picture after getting hit on the wrist...Doesn't look very happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Interestingly, Stanton led the team last season being hit by a pitch 9 times... EDIT: And at least 3 of those pitches were on his hands! Stanton said in reference to that: "Those aren't fun,' he said. "Aim for the ass. More meat." LOL!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Dim should write an article about how f***ed up we'd be without Stanton like he did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
