I’m hoping it’s just a sprained ankle.Cruz… ugh. Fingers crossed his injury isn’t as serious as all these Twitter doctors are speculating.
Shelton just announced it’s a fractured ankle. From my experience, I’d say it’s about 2-3 months. Early-mid July return perhaps?Bucs take 2 of 3 from the White Sox. Probably a costly win if Cruz is out for any period of time. His slide left much to be desired!
How about that young Cuban pitcher?? 7 plus innings of shutout ball.
Pen closed it out with barely a hiccup.
Fun to watch, except for that injury!
I didn’t see the play but saw something on Twitter that said the catcher left a lane to slide yet Cruz slid into the catcher. Which is what led to the catcher yapping and the benches clearing.Shelton just announced it’s a fractured ankle. From my experience, I’d say it’s about 2-3 months. Early-mid July return perhaps?
I have no idea what Cruz was trying to do. He decided to slide way too late. The catcher was pissed at him for good reason- he easily could have hurt the catcher there.I didn’t see the play but saw something on Twitter that said the catcher left a lane to slide yet Cruz slid into the catcher.

If so what a stupid way to get hurt. Like Polanco getting hurt sliding (shoulder if I recall correctly?).
Yeah, I don’t think the catcher did anything wrong other than chirp at him after the collision. Awkward baserunning strikes the Pirates once again.I didn’t see the play but saw something on Twitter that said the catcher left a lane to slide yet Cruz slid into the catcher.

That fits Cruz overall play . The guy is like a giraffe and does things outside the realm . Just came back to bite him ...Awkward baserunning
As someone whose ankle was trashed, that is often the case. Every doctor I saw said they couldn’t believe my ankle didn’t snap and I’d have been much better off if it had.I saw the highlight and my first thought was that I hoped that it was a break, because breaks are the best case scenario—6 weeks and you’re back.
Steve Blass was pitching?By the way, speaking of wacky baseball going-ons, yesterday the Rocket City Trash Pandas (yeah, that's really their name), the Angels AA affiliate, threw a combined, seven inning no hitter. And they lost. No, they didn't lose 1-0 or 2-1 or something like that. They threw a no hitter and lost 7-5.
Top of the 7th in a 7 inning game (it was a doubleheader to make up a rainout), TPs with a 3-0 lead. And then this:
walk
walk
pop out to second
walk
strike out (so two outs before even giving up a run)
walk
error (centerfielder drops a fly ball to clear the bases)
hit batsman
hit batsman
hit batsman
walk
wild pitch
hit batsman
strike out
Seven runs on no hits and one error.
Ricky VaughnSteve Blass was pitching?
Damn. He had to have surgery, so my 6 week scenario is way too ambitious.I saw the highlight and my first thought was that I hoped that it was a break, because breaks are the best case scenario—6 weeks and you’re back.
Reading 10-12 weeks so at least July.Damn. He had to have surgery, so my 6 week scenario is way too ambitious.
