southsider2k5 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Update from Chuck Garfein on CSN postgame. He does have swelling, but no timeline for when he could be back. No word either way on any breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 18, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) Might be a little bit before we know about possible concussion. It hit him in the cheek/eye. I doubt concussion is the concern, but a cracked orbital bone would be a big problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 If it's only a concussion, then thank god. 7-day DL and call up Dan Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Konerko had swelling around the eye but was coherent and wasn't dizzy when AJ saw him in clubhouse during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Damn. He's just got to miss at least a week after getting beaned in the f***ing eye. Thanks, Cubs for the good sportsmanship. One of the all time greats in Chicago baseball history hit by a pitch in the face by a guy with a history this season of hitting batter(s) who homer off him. Hmmm. Suspension?

Hmmm. Suspension? Not sure if he has to miss a week. Hopefully he is okay and the tests confirm that he is fine. Right now slight laceration and swelling. If tests are good and swelling goes down, he should be back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I would bet he meant to come inside, not to hit him in the head. Pure speculation, however. Edited May 18, 2012 by The Ginger Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you say this is the most outrageous thing to happen in the history of the Sox-Cubs series? A Cub nobody hitting a legend in the face with a pitch? The Chicago media needs to step up and somebody call out Samarj on this with a scathling newspaper column and/or TV commentary. The legend should be protected. He's earned that right.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 funny source... Joe Frisaro @JoeFrisaro Ozzie texted Konerko earlier, said Konerko responded in 10 mins and said he is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Samardzjia on the Konerko hit by pitch: "It's unfortunate. There's a lot of superstars in this league that put up big numbers, get paid a lot of money. Paulie's one of those guys that does that, is a superstar, and does it the right way. There's not too many of those guys out there. He's not about showboat, he's not about himself, Paulie's a great guy. That ball got away, unfortunately it hit him up high. If I could take it back I would. The only thing that's making me OK about it is that he's a tough guy. I hope he'll be alright, and I wish I had that one back." my bold, to reiterate my point that I think he was trying to knock him down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Didn't get to see the game. Did anyone from our bench get up? What was the vibe after that hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddling Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 First Barrett....now Samardzjia. Seems like the Cubbies really can't handle losing to the Sox. Hope Paulie is ok. sounds like he will. hopefully not much time (if any) will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) If nothing is broken, I'd be shocked if Paulie wasn't in the line up tomorrow as long as there is no vision trouble. Edited May 18, 2012 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
