carry around a sign that says "the world ends tomorrow" and you'll eventually be right.

or not

[USAFChief]

Oh no... I just checked back in to see Arraez got carted off. Did he give the thumbs up? Hopefully just precautionary

didn't look precautionary

collision with Astudillo on th mound on a pop up, legs got tangled, ankle injury

Thanks. Hope it's not serious, obviously. Look forward to seeing the video.

Twins r still CRUZING along,  101

[Richie the Rally Goat]

It’s a winner, but man I hope Arraez is ok...

[Heezy1323]

 

Thanks. I was just looking where he was grabbing his leg and he seemed to be grabbing behind the knee/calf ... that worried me.

Totally agree- he did seem to be grabbing hamstring area at first. But seeing the replay, his ankle definitely inverted. There certainly could be more than one thing going on, but that would be unusual. An inversion injury would be a very odd way to rupture the Achilles.

Rogers closes it out for win 101. But it is a costly win. The Turtle is taking this real hard.

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE WINS!!! WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK THAT????

Radio says preliminary is a sprained ankle, but more to come.

 

[PDX Twin]

 

so how exactly does that work? Do you watch the game expecting to lose ?

 

Don't we all?

Thanks for you ‘on the spot’ visual expertise.

a sprain is good news , sort of , but he could miss the playoffs depending on the severity, he’s got a week to heal though

thanks for providing insight Heezy

No. I don’t watch expecting to win, either. In some scenarios I might feel more hopeful and others far less, but I’m still hoping for a win and not watching with any kind of forgone conclusion or expectations. I’m boring that way.

i went back to the replay. It didn’t look good

[FLTwinsGuy]

Even if its a high ankle sprain, hes done for the season..thats a month long injury at the least

Let's hope he gets back and negative on x-rays for breakage (just now) say nothing broken.

Pessimism and skepticism are not uncalled for. But predicting certain death is.

In fact, predicting certain death seems to be the only certainty.

Hope you liked today's bullpen game because we have another one tomorrow with Perez on the hill!

Don't we all?

I don’t , if I truly felt that way I wouldn’t bother watching, which makes me think you’re just full of it

Okay, enough ,,, PDX Twin can approach each game as he wants, as can each of us.
