I was listening to the broadcast yesterday (and suffering through Jeff Brantley’s torturous schtick) when Mat Latos threw a pitch and came up lame. My heart started beating again at some point after that. Now, it appears that Latos is going to be fine:
Latos strained his left calf, but isn’t worried it’s serious.
“I’m alive,” he said. “I’m fine. I’m not one to talk about it. I’m fine. They looked at it. They iced it. This is just a precaution.”
Latos expects to make his next start, probably on Sunday, the day before the Reds break camp.
Latos was two outs into the inning when he landed funny after throwing a pitch. “It felt like I landed on mud, then slipped.”
Good news. After the Madson injury, I don’t think my weak heart could stand a long-term injury to Latos.
Is it safe to exhale?
Madson just had “a little soreness.” I won’t feel quite confident until next Saturday.
“Peachy keen, A-Ok”…. show of hands. How many relationships have you been involved with that ended after a statement like this just a few days before?
Please don’t leave us, we’ll change, we’ll do whatever it takes Mat, just don’t be hurt.
It’s not you. It’s me.
Not buying it, players are never up front with degree of injury and we all know the Reds medical staff are the 3 stoooges…
This one’s much ado about nothing.
I sure hope Walt is working the phones to find a trade for Francisco. My first call would be to Kenny Williams. The ChiSox need help at third, and KW loves this type of all or nothing talent (i.e. Dayan Viciedo). Prying closer of the future Addison Reed away would be real tough, but I’d throw in a sweetener to make it happen.
@Steve Mancuso: “I invented it’s not you, it’s me!”
@Matt WI: If it’s anybody, it’s me.
