Exit 117 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah - I just saw that and read it on Metsblog - hurt his calf running the OF, warming up - getting an MRI immediately - MOTHER FUCKER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax 4 Prez Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Calf injury could keep El Duque from Game 1 start The Mets' pitching woes could get worse. Three days after the team learned Pedro Martinez will be out eight months with a torn rotator cuff, manager Willie Randolph announced that Orlando Hernandez might not be able to make his start in Game 1 of the division series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Randolph said that Hernandez felt something in his right calf while running in the outfield Tuesday. Hernandez, who is 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA with the Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks this season, was scheduled to have an MRI exam that afternoon. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2006...tory?id=2611700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax 4 Prez Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 seriously...yes this hurts, but we don't even know how bad it is yet... we are the best team in the NL not because of our starting pitchers, but because of our hitters and bullpen...we'll be fine guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws44 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 We can't rely on Pelfrey or Humber in the playoffs. Worse case we will probably fall back on Perez and hope he has one of his 'good' starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse case we will probably fall back on Perez and hope he has one of his 'good' starts. yeah, but what I'm trying to say is we don't even know how severe it is... he still hasn't been sctratched from the game... he might've just felt a little tweak and now the doctors are just taking percautionary measures to make sure he's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax 4 Prez Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 he might get sctratched one game and that's it... the world isn't over, we're playing the Dodgers not the Yanks or Twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to be as optomistic as possible throughout the Pedro scenario, glavine's trouble, trachsel not being with the team, now el duque... that's 4 of our should be starters.

Last time I checked Glavine went 7 innings allowing only 2 hits, and 0 runs... what troubles are you speaking of? we won the last 4 games of the season, Wright found his bat again... what troubles besides the pitching injuries are you speaking of?

mws44 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Trachsel is back with the team isn't he? Glavine's effectiveness seems to be in direct relation to the umpire giving him the outside corner. You can always tell if Glavine is gonna have a good or bad day in the first inning. Those guys are at least physically able to pitch, but the El Duque news could be very bad for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blood clot, i was an optimist through everything and it just gets harder and harder to see them taking anything this year, I hope I am wrong but I just don't see it happening anymore.

Plax 4 Prez Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 the rest of the story "Obviously, we're up in the air on who our starter is right now," Mets manager Willie Randolph said. "We have some options, but we're going to wait and see how he feels." Those options are limited, however. Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, is out until next summer because of calf and shoulder injuries. Tom Glavine, slated to start Game 2, pitched Saturday in Washington. So if the Mets want to bump him up, he would be working on only three days' rest. Randolph said he hadn't yet spoken to the 40-year-old lefty about that possibility. Steve Trachsel, who went 15-8 with a 4.97 ERA this year, skipped his scheduled outing last weekend to attend to a family matter on the West Coast. He was due back in New York on Tuesday evening, but Randolph said the right-hander probably wasn't an option to pitch Game 1 on Wednesday afternoon. That leaves rookie right-hander John Maine as perhaps the best option. Maine was 6-5 with a 3.60 ERA in 16 games this season, including 15 starts. But he obviously lacks the October experience the Mets were counting on with Hernandez, acquired from Arizona in May. El Duque is 9-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 19 career postseason games, including 14 starts, mostly with the Yankees. He also owns four World Series rings, and his teams are 12-3 in postseason series. "He was very upset," Randolph said. "Hopefully, it's just something mild. ... The doctor said it might just be a cramp." Hernandez, however, has a more dire diagnosis. "I was sprinting in the outfield," Hernandez told Newsday. "And I pulled my right calf. It's not a cramp." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
