Carl Crawford Exits Game With Right Shoulder Injury

Rays' All Star left fielder Carl Crawford left tonight's game with what is being called a bruised right shoulder. He is being listed as day-to-day. Crawford injured the shoulder on a diving catch to end the fourth inning. Ben Zobrist replaced him in left field.  Expect the Rays to be overly cautious with CC, who entered the game hitting .336/.397/.457 with 22 steals. As we saw tonight, I'd expect Ben Zobrist to benefit most in the playing time category.

This injury comes on the heels of the news about Pat Burrell visiting a specialist for a possible back injury. Good luck to both players; we need them.

Joyce/Zobmonstah in RF, short term

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

I would

platoon Gabes (Gross’ arm in right), with Zo in left. If Crawford will be out for a prolonged period of time, bring up Joyce and play him regularly in left to see how he does.

What is wrong with Madden that he can’t see that his buddy can’t throw a pitch!!!!!!!!
Get him out of there or we’ll loose every game. He’s too old and it’s time to retire!!!!!
Friends are friends but this is business.

This fanpost has nothing to do with Percival.
