Sad News

Sometimes the news can just get you down. I went on the Escogido web site the other day to see how Jamie was faring down in the Dominican League. You most likely saw my post. Well, I cannot read or talk any Spanish so I could not read the article. I did my best to read the box score and guess as to the pitching stats. After seeing three good innngs, I thought, well maybe in winter ball guys just throw three innings. I did not realize that he left injured as can be seen in this poorly translated and very sad article. I saw Karen last night, Jamie is now flying home and will have to see what is up with the elbow. My gut tells me that things are not good.

On the bright side, Karen and Jamie will be on the Today Show Friday morning at 8:00.


11:33 PM - Veteran lefty Jamie Moyer left the game against the Tigres del Licey with an apparent injury to his pitching arm after facing one batter in the third inning, and will not return to the mound in the Dominican League. Moyer was the opener of the Lions of the Chosen on Saturday, when faced with their neighbors set the stage capitaleños Qusiqueya and aggravated a left elbow injury.

The 47-year pitcher allows one hit and three strikeouts against no walks in 2.1 innings. At the beginning of the third act facing Wellington Castillo and left the field without prior consultation with the trainer of all scarlet. Apparently, the left-hander suffered the rupture of the tendon of the elbow and the recovery would be long.

It was the third presentation of Moyer this season. The winner of 267 games in the majors are trying to return to that level after injuring his left elbow right in the middle of the 2010 season.
