I had no idea Jackie played at Briggs Stadium once. Cool pic. 
 

Here are highlights from that game, including Jackie at the 23 second mark.

Grossman just about healthy, available off the bench per AJ

[kdog]

Mize to the DL with a right elbow sprain...Daz Cameron activated(he was already with the team).

[RandyMarsh]

Please somebody with more medical knowledge than me talk me off the ledge! The laymen in me wants to think that elbow sprain sounds like an impact injury like a ball off the elbow or something but I really don't know.

didn't think his velo was where it should have been. 

[kdog]

Even if Mize doesn't end up with the worst case scenario, we won't see him for at least a month...probably much longer.

McCosky says more testing underway. If another shoe does drop it probably won't be tonight.

FWIW, in recent years the more common coding for "probably needs TJ" has been "forearm strain"

Pineda will step in for Mize and Alexander deservedly stays in the rotation.  The problem of course is long-term.  "Sprain" sounds more like an impact injury rather than one caused by repetitive movement, but who knows.  I always fear the worst with pitcher injuries.

I LOVE the color of the 42 on their backs and I think the front of the jersey should have the same script it does now in THAT color with no outline.

Yeah it was a little low but it wasn't a huge drop off like you see if it ends up being something major. Like he was still touching 96 on the TV gun, so the optimistic in me wants to think it isn't something too severe but I guess you never know with pitchers. 

[Edman85]

Sprain and tear are literally synonymous.

The exact oppsite: a sprain is a torn ligament. Impact injury would be contusion.

I stop paying attention for a couple games and the house burns down? 

[RandyMarsh]

Skubal with a nice 1-2-3 1st, k's both Witt and Perez swinging.

definitely - threw some successful off-speed.

[RandyMarsh]

Best thing to happen in that hellhole stadium since Granderson robbed Sizemore. 

 

[gehringer_2]

Tiger hitters making Keller look like Cy Young early.

[RandyMarsh]

Witt definitely is smooth defensively over there at 3rd, I imagine not many balls are going to get by him and Mondesi on that side. 

[Edman85]

McCosky confusing sprain and strain is peak McCosky.

I have had sprains before so I know what they are.  You can sometimes get a sprain from getting hit, but impact wasn't the best word to use.  I should hasve said "acute".  Sprains are usually acute as opposed to something chronic.  So, a sprain might cause some damage that is not directly related to pitching and it might heal.  A strain sounds like something that is caused by the repetitive motion of pitching.  Either way, it's not good news.
