If it's that, he should be fine pretty soon, no? In terms of stress on it, is it any worse because it's his left foot?

 

My guess is that's probably the least problematic spot for a hairline fracture for a left-handed pitcher. There may be a little discomfort...but most of the pressure is on the front toe and you're not coming down on it. I bet he's not out very long.

 

As for BMac...wouldn't it be nice to finally have a young gun step up and produce. Seems like every other team does and there motto used to be: To beat the Sox...start and unknown rook!

 

Shagging fly balls....you gotta be s***tin me!?!?

that was all Offman had from Herm. But it seems from Herm that the foot might not be fractured after all

 

 

I hope this is true. I just heard about Buerhle....damn it! He's been pitching great this spring. I hope they don't rush him back if he's truly hurt.

This is a pretty depressing thread so let me add some more reasons to cry:

http://baseball.espn.go.com/mlb/springStat...pitch&year=2005

Radke is struggling but he always does in ST & the 1st half.

J Mays 1.29ERA, 3GS, 14IP. Nathan, Rincon are doing their thing.

It looks like Mays is back to form. He's produced more at the ML level the past 4 yrs than El Duque, Garland, & Contreras.

He's out performing Silva & Lohse so we might be seeing Mays slotted at #3.

 

This really sucks. They get stronger & we get weaker. They should have let Pohlad contract his team.

They have question marks in Minnesota as well, lots of personnel turn over there.

That's what I thought too, so how do you explain a stress fracture to the toe that gets little pressure on it?

By running like a big clod in the outfield...or fartin around and coming down on it wrong. I wonder if he was on the main field or one of the practice fields? I play in a men's league that plays out at Peoria Sports complex after spring training ends...and on the practice fields...there's these HUGE friggin commercial sprinkler heads in the outfield that are dangerous as s*** IMO. I pitch and play center and I remember on a few occasions going after fly balls and stepping on the heads (not good with metal cleats). I also remember laying out for a ball scraping right across one (that felt good!). So I am kind of curious as to how it actually happened.

Exactly, something fluky happened.

Latest ESPN 1000 update says it's the bone on the 5th (little) toe in his left foot, and that Buehrle is feeling great today and will have another bone scan and MRI this afternoon.

 

Well this may have turned out to be the best scenerio there was, I've broken that toe before and while it hurts like a b**** when you do it, with a special shoe, in a week or ten days he should be throwing again and the majority of his discomfort will be covering 1st base and it should have very little effect on his delivery. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if only misses one start.

 

PHEW!!!!!

Let's hope for the best with Mark but I have to say ...

Santana, Radke, Mays, Silva, Lohse vs Garcia, Hernandez, BMac, Garland, Contreras

 

doesn't look good at all for ChiSox fans. It took Santana 2 yrs of pen/starter experience to get his ERA < 5. We are expecting a hell of a lot from BMac. We were planning for BMac to get seasoned in AAA & then come up when El Duque goes on the DL (which we all know is going to happen!). Now, it looks like Cotts will fill that role later on.

I'd wait to exhale until after that MRI this afternoon. There's a reason they want him to have one.

With all the hand wringing going on about BMac, I thought I'd make a couple of points. All we've heard out of Arizona is that BMac is ready. That has come from Ozzie, from scouts, from opposing managers, from the hitters. Also, they aren't going to be jacking BMac around like they did with the 5th starters last year. He won't be pitching on 2 days rest, oe on 10 days rest. They'll put him in the rotation and let him take his turn. I'm excited Brandon's getting the opportunity and I believe he'll succeed.

The ChiSox will need a whole lot of luck to get out of April above 500.  The ChiSox were long shots to win the division to start with so there's not as much pressure to win this year.  Put BMac in at #3 & let him grow.

 

 

Who is this guy and why is he on a Sox thread if he bashes the Sox all the time????

 

Oh, and sorry to say they Sox are NOT a long shot to win the division. Whoever believes that probably believes the Tigers actually can win.
