Jimbo's Drinker Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Rangers placed RHP Brandon McCarthy on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 11, with a stress fracture in his right shoulder blade. Uh oh. There was no sign this was coming, and with a 3.18 ERA in six starts since the break, McCarthy had been pretty effective lately. The Rangers have yet to elaborate on the injury, but it's hard to imagine McCarthy pitching again this year. This could turn into a major long-term issue for him. John Rheinecker will start in his place on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchtower41 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 KW slides another one past. Trust me, I have no intention of giving KW any bit of credit for this piece of chit lackluster season.... But for whatever reason, he just knows when to say when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 After an awful start, BMac's had a nice run going. I'll always be a Manhands fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Damn. I am still rooting for Brandon to do well. This just sucks. Hopefully he can bounce back in 08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 not surprised that he is having arm problems. Was never a fan of his mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
