southsider2k5 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The heat index is 111 degrees. Cramping isn't unusual in those circumstances. Its very easy to dehydrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Better to not take a chance and have Griffey get hurt seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baines3 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I hope it was just the heat getting to Griffey and not injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeah even top athletes are susceptible to cramps in these conditions. He probably didn't even feel any serious cramping, but just a hint of a cramp is good reason to leave the game especially for Griffey. A bad cramp can you leave you sore for days.

Jake Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Some players may have been affected but aren't on super close injury watch like Griffey and simply played through a lingering cramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Lincecum came out of the Giants game with cramping and Lincecum is like 16 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
