Chad Billingsley is going to have a second surgery, this one to repair his flexor tendon. “The flexor tendon runs alongside the ulnar collateral ligament that tore and was transplanted last year in a Tommy John procedure. If the flexor tendon tears further after an injection and rehab, it could compromise the repaired ligament,” so he decided on surgery rather than stem-cell injection and therapy. He should be ready for spring training next season.
NPUT
I love it when everyone in the West loses except us
Per Mark Saxon at ESPN, speaking of Hanley, “X-rays showed his ring finger was bruised, not broken.”
I saw the replay and that ball was blistered. He’s lucky he didn’t break that finger.
that’s good news
A Rockie outing for Kenley, but I’ll take it. Five out now. We’ve gained 4 1/2 games on the Giants in nine days. See you all tomorrow.
we are coming up fast in the rear view mirror, so watch out Gnats!
KK-enley!
Uno mas, KJ!
K-enley!
Again . . . get the K or double play!
Not a K, but very ‘K!
Get the K or double play!
Come on, Kenley!
If this lead doesn’t hold, Zack is going to insist on going the distance next time.
Every Rockie is such a tough out!
C’mon, Kenley — uneventful inning . . .please!
So much for wishful thinking . . . seems that ain’t gonna happen much with this bullpen.
Let’s go Kenley, clap clap clap clap clap!
Given how Kenley has frequently pitched of late, I appreciate the two-run lead.
Hey guys.. and gal! …. 🙂
…
Just checkin’ in … off to bed.
Things sure get busy with 2-yr. old in the evenings. Hard to blog.
But, watching the games… for sure.
…
“What’s that???” … I’ll ask.
“It’s Dodger Baseball”… my daughter will say.
She doesn’t know wins or losses… just enjoys watching the players and listening to
the excitement of the crowd.
Simplicity.
Have a great night guys.
Nice to hear from you.
Thanks Scoop… 🙂
Good to hear from you
Wilson successfully walks a tightrope again.
nicely finished!
Good thing I don’t bite my nails. They’d be gone.
Thank goodness for the DP
First MLB homer by TREE-uhn-fell in his 68th at bat.
Delighted to see that Triunfel just homered. However, did Hanley get hurt?
Yes. Jammed or dislocated his finger, maybe? Couldn’t really tell.
Fielding play?
Yes. Hard hit grounder.
Get the K, Brandon!
Nice going by League in a pressure situation.
Nicely mopped up Zac
Such a lovely night out here. I love this stadium.
I has envy. 😉
If Matt has regains his stroke, this team’s chances would improve immeasurably….On another note, I wonder if Ethier is going for the caught stealing cycle (not that there is one).
Neither one was really an attempt to steal – the first was on a short passed ball, the second a broken hit-and-run.
I see. Thanks. According to the box score, one of them counts as a caught stealing.
It does, but it wasn’t really.
He has an OPS of 1.178 since the start of the last road trip against the Rox. While slugging at .667, he has only one homerun. Back in the day, you could tell he was getting the dinger stroke back when he started hitting them to right center.
Matty joins the party!
Dancing and bubbles in the dugout as Hanley circles the bases, it sure looks like a happier place to be around
Hanley!!
at least Rojas advanced
Ellis is now 5-for-8 since his return.
let’s get something going here
I don’t understand how Either was out on runners fielders choice, is it like caught stealing?
saw the video and read WBBA’s description, all good
Zack’s missing the plate alot. I’m here, and he’s not looking like his usual sharp self.
That’s better Zac
Phew
Hold it together Zac!
Someone asked about Scott Elbert recently. He starts a rehab assignment at Rookie-League Ogden tomorrow.
White Sox have now tied it up with the Gnats
Pale Hose now lead the Jints 5-2 in the bottom of the fifth.
Make that now 8-2, hopefully this is a continuation of a big collapse which lasts a long time
I know I’m probably alone in this thought, but I hope the team and Billz can find a middle ground and he comes back in Blue.
Definitely with you. Before he got injured, he was showing signs of fulfilling the promise he had.
I know average isn’t everything, but Grienke really needs to be on his game, as I just noticed that 7 of the Rockies starters are currently batting over .300 (including Chacin)
