SoxFan562004 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Well, I'm going to go into panic mode over the MRI being inconclusive. It seems there was an injury of some sort, and in my layman's opinion, I think a break is better than not knowing. If it was a break he would heal up and come back, but anything else can linger. I guess we will get a better answer at about 6:00. Hopefully it's good news, but I'm not thrilled that the new MRI gave no answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 This is what I was told.. Mark is fine and it's been a tab bit exaggerated. Small stress fracture (which I guess is not really a "real" fracture but a "bend" of the bone and not really a "crack" in the bone ) of the bone that joins the top of the foot to the toe. Little bit of discomfort, but he's walking fine today and it's not even swollen. Having more tests. From the look and feel of it today, doesn't look/feel at all serious. What happened... Mark was out catching balls and he just went to move to scoop up a ball and his foot kind of went sideways and he heard a little snap. Initially thought it was just dislocated because it swelled immediately and he literally could not put any pressure on it (which sounds like where they (reporters) got the torn ligament assumption - and is in line with what I heard last night). So.. sounds like he's going to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been two weeks since it happened and it's still sore but she says it's getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 even if CT Scans show that there is no break i wouldnt mind if he sat out a start or 2 just to make sure a break doesnt happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%, MB is not a power pitcher who needs to build up a ton of arm strength, he can miss a start or two and be basically ready to jump in the rotation. Better be safe than sorry at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 White Sox | Broken or Not? - from www.KFFL.com Mon, 21 Mar 2005 15:07:14 -0800 Contradicting an earlier report, the Associated Press reports Chicago White Sox SP Mark Buehrle (foot) is scheduled to have a CT scan on his left foot to see if there's a break in it after an MRI was inconclusive. After going home and taking a nap Sunday, Buehrle awoke with soreness in his foot and was barely able to walk, according to Chicago head trainer Herm Schneider. He did not have a limp when he arrived at camp Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.. sounds like he's going to be fine. It couldn't have been "just a dislocation," In order to dislocate he would have has to injury many ligaments and the capsule as well. Hopefully it was just a "jam" or capsulitis and the snap he heard were just the tendons rolling over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 yeah as bad as it is that Buehrle has got injured... especially him of all our starters im kind of excited to get a chance to see B-Mac face some major league competition that would be kind of cool.

I am somewhat against this just for the sheer fact that if McCarthy gets bombed at the ML level it could damage his confidence, something that could effect him for a while. He needs to be pitching at AAA, but I guess the circumstances will dictate otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Cooper is on ESPN and says Buehrle feels much better. If he felt that way yesterday he wouldn't have gone to the trainer. The tests from all the doctors are not in yet but if he can throw a side on the 29th he'll start opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 im pretty damn sure that mark will be 100 % by the time that the season starts... if he dosent open on april 4th, it will just be out of a precautionary state of mind... i dont see him missing any more then one start then again, im being optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Just heard this horrible news on ABC. To what I heard, they said Buehrle might be out for 2 to 4 weeks. I don’t want Buehrle to be rushed. He still has the possibility of winning 16 games for us when he comes back or losing 16 games if he gets rushed. Brandon McCarthy has looked very good in Spring Training and I am not against him being in our rotation. If he does get to pitch in the rotation than I can see him pitching better than Contreras and Garland. I just hope he doesn’t have any bad luck if he does pitch up here.

hi8is Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 yoda: there is a lot of speculation going around, that is about it... most media sources are just specuating he has a break... which dosent seem to be the case from what don cooper and herm said today... it looks as if he might even be ok we'll know more tomarrow PM after a CT scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
