Bagwell broke his hamate on three separate occasions, if memory serves. The first time was in 1992 or 1993 at the end of the season. The second time was a day or two before the 1994 strike, the season in which he won the MVP. Unlikely he wins it without the strike. I can’t remember the third occasion, but he fully recovered each time. It did take awhile. 

Wore that giant batting glove padding the rest of his career

Good news: They apparently do not think it is a hamate bone. Still being evaluated so not sure the exact injury yet. 

Galvan should be fine. No break. It's possible he will be back this weekend.

Belyeu I have no clue on.

My guess is that none of them will play tomorrow regardless, and Schloss won't say shit until Friday morning. 

fcb did say shit

I can certainly believe FCB saw reference to hamate bone on Surly and immediately put out "don't think it is hamate bone but not sure of actual injury yet".  sounds like FCB. that'll be 9.95.  how people like him still make money is truly one of the most amazing things known to man.

I take it the baseball coach doesn't have a Monday press conference.

his contract stipulates, no regularly scheduled press conferences, except for the Monday after Texas wins the National Championship.

at which he will be presented with overly large bonus check.

If I had to pick which one was the worst to lose for an extended period of time, Belyeu was probably it given the roster. Damn, pretty much have no choice but to play Winfield, yuck

Fuck it.  Bone up Winfield let’s get it!

Gotta be someone else they give a shot outside of Winfield. Duplantier has kinda been a utility guy this year, maybe he gets more run on the midweek games. Or Winfield figures it out.

He broke it 93, 94, and 95. He wore the big batting glove starting in 96 for the rest of his career.

Winfield has had plenty of opportunities so it’s not like he will get a long leash but the only other options are Duplantier and Scott. If Winfield continues to be a black hole I would imagine Jayden and Matt would see starts and ABs against lefties.

Pretty much hope and pray Winfield figures it out but right now he is lost at the plate, just guessing pitch to pitch.

Can we please get a better nickname for Galvan, the one we had for Ivan kind of sucked, hated the Hispanic Titanic. The Titanic sunk after all. 

How about the Latino Bambino

The blessed again Mesican

The Sancho from Sinton 

 

 

Ivan's was the worst of all. Turrible. 

  Unless that's our thing now.   In that case for Galvan,  I vote for Rylan Nine-Eleven.

Belyeu is day-to-day but needs surgery.

He has a fractured thumb and out for the season.

He has ligament damage and a fractured thumb and out for the season.

Getting to the point that he is either day- to- day or on his death bed.

He already died. We left him in Columbia 

Texas is big on appearance. Belyeu didn't choke anybody or get drunk with Missouri coeds and miss the game.

I would think they left him in a funeral home with a Texas flag draped coffin.

They really should offer to pay to ship him home to his family for a proper burial.

Maybe they will send DDA to the funeral for a last "Texas Fight" cheer too.

Paysite info ?

Someone in Belyeu’s family actually posted on one of the 9.95 sites about the ligament tear. Surgery scheduled for later this week. More complicated than a simple wrist fracture.

Sounds like they are holding out hope he could be back for the postseason but his wrist has to be immobilized for a month so it’s going to be a long rehab process.

The whole thing looked pretty odd. He dove to make the catch, but his wrist came up and the glove was pointing straight down. He twisted his wrist I believe to try to keep the ball from falling out of his glove, which he accomplished.

The umpire signaled the out and Belyeu got up and threw the ball back in. Then he took off his glove and was looking at his hand. I thought he had jammed his wrist. Then that female trainer goes out and examines his hand and seemed to be pressing on it with her thumb and asking him questions. He shook his head a few times and then she lets go of it and said something and Belyeu shook his head again. He said something like I'm ok and then trotted back to his position. He must be good to go I thought. Seems like with a broken thumb and torn ligaments maybe too, there would be a lot of pain if moved or especially pressed down on like that trainer was doing. Seems also like it would start to swell quickly too.

But no, he goes back to right field and finishes the inning. Imagine if he had a broken thumb and had to make another dive on a play after that or just a fly ball hitting that thumb on a catch. The pain would be rough. Thankfully it didn't happen.

Who knew it all went down this way if we had a microphone near the conversation with the trainer.

She picks up his hand and presses different places and asks does this hurt. Yes, he says. What about here and here? Yes, and yes. Then she presses his thumb, and he says, Hell yes.

She lets his hand go and Belyeu asks her what she thinks. She tells him I think you have a serious thumb injury. It could be broken and there could also be ligament damage. Either way it's going to require surgery.

What are my options he asks her. She pauses and says, you can either stay in the game or go to the hospital now. 

He thinks about it and says, "I'm good," and heads back to right field.

Sadly, now we know he made the wrong decision and succumbed to his injuries. Max, if you had only gone to the hospital instead, you would still be with us.

RIP

Feels a lot like the Witt injury that fucked us right when the train had momentum and will never wear orange again sadly 

Max is good and all, but he is not a key starting pitcher...and then our other starting pitchers just start sucking.

If Galvan and Rodriguez are alright I think we should be ok. 

But we obviously don't have enough depth for too many more of these.

In this league losing max puts winning the league from a toss up possibility to unlikely. I bet we end up in the top 5 but at the top probably not. I guess if we can get some breaks, finish top 3-4 to get a top 8 seed that’s all that matters. I’d sure love a conference title though.
