Tigers vs. phillies Spring Training March 19

[kalinecountry]

Cabrera takes hot shot off face, is bleeding here at Clearwater.
Just when Tigers camp seemed to be going swimmingly, Cabrera just got hit in face by a sharp one-hopper. He's leaving game, towel on face.
Cabrera walking off field, towel on face. Hunter Pence hit a rocket that caught Cabrera square in the nose and forehead.
Miguel Cabrera just took a shot one-hopper off the right cheek, and is bleeding relatively badly, he's coming out of the game.
Francona on ESPN: "You're going to pick up a paper and read about his lack of ability to play 3B. Every 3B in league gets hit by a ball."
Cabera was taken into the Tigers clubhouse for precautionary reasons after taking a one-hopper off the face.
Miggy's sunglasses likely saved it from hitting directly in the eye, but were probably what caused the cut in his cheek.
Cabrera never went down, and took his glasses off immediately. Kevin Rand came out, and hustled him off the field, towel in place.
No additional info on Cabrera other than the stitches, X-rays disclosure ... Probably won't get further details until after today's game.

KalineCountry[/color]]fuckn' pence tangle footed fucker.

Ciraco now at third for Cabrera.

Shit I hope he didn't get a fractured orbital bone.

Unfortunately, that is probably exactly what he has sustained. Cabrera is probably gonna be out ala ex-Yankee SP AJ Burnett recently, and his was on an attempted bunt not a batted ball...crap.

that was nasty.....way to go leyland!

Yeah...and way to go on that Tsunami in Japan last year, too...

Tsunami was caused by a Snooki Cannonball....it wasnt leyland.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it all to hell.... Put a football helmet on him and make him the full time DH, trade everyone we have in the minors, and Raburn for David Wright...and any second baseman and 7th starter they have.... God just the Tigers luck...

Just of think of the damage she'll be able to do in about 8 months.

Talk about taking the wind out of your happy-day sails to watch the Tigers play live for just the second time this year , can't really enjoy this game quite as much now... I need a fucking zanny and commiserate with some rogo about Big Mig later.

 

[bassburns]

[motown1958]

That thing exploded off of the bat

 

[kalinecountry]

Cabrera was taken to the hospital for precautionary x-rays and received stitches.
Light some novena candles there isn't any fracture.

 

[kalinecountry]

Inge- more fun with small samples Hitting .240 .296 .440 .736 this spring/
.154 .214 .231 .445 vs RHP

 

[biggunsbob]

Inge should platoon with RS at Second base...

 

[turok]

If Miggy is out for any sig-time those who wanted to see Kringe cut may be disappointed.

 

[servinthed]

@RyanFieldFSD X-Rays negative on Cabrera. Will receive stitches. No further info at this time. #Tigers

Havent heard anyone else comment on the x-rays, but Field says they're negative.

 

[kalinecountry]

good play by Scherzer on the bunt by victorino and Kelly staying to make the catch and contact with runner, Kelly's height makes the out with high toss and able to step on first split second before runner.

 

[kalinecountry]

Scherzer 4 innings 0 runs 2 hits 0 walks 4 k's.
Tigers lead 3 - 0.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers wanted Scherzer's pitch-count down and pitches sizzling today against the Phils. So far, they've won both ways. Two hits thru four.
After struggling with pitch counts this spring, Scherzer is through 4 innings in 50 pitches after back-to-back Ks of Pence and Thome.
