Cecil has 'significant tear in calf'

[Stangstag]

Cecil out, Hutch/Tepera in?

 

Not like it matters anyways...

[TheHurl]

Let Buehrle get his remaining inning and a third.

[EMK19]

Bringing in Mark B with his reverse splits to give him a role that he's not used to doesn't really make much sense, but it probably doesn't matter who we switch him out for anyhow. It'll prob be that righty that has the best lefty splits but that doesn't mean that he'll be used... so hopefully, Loup can step up his game as basically our only real lefty arm in the pen now.

amazing that people tear their calves just by running.

Reminded me of this (although this was a quad injury):

f***

[Stangstag]

I have significant tears in my eyes right now.

I have significant tears in my eyes right now.

 

They'll dry in a few days and turn to a smile after a killer win and a series turn around.

Not remotely relevant, but your post made me go watch this:

 

The announcer kills me every time.

 

And, uh, losing Cecil is terrible, obviously. Feels like such a fitting development after these two games, though.

Haha "I haven't seen a rack like that since Mia Yim!" CZW is a little too crazy nowadays though.

[500LevelSTH]

This feels like the inevitable ending to 1987...like a trainwreck. Still not done though, said and felt the same way then as i do now.

[Spanky99]

Terrible timing for this, I hope the Jays don't use Cecil as a loogy next year, the guy should be our setup man or closer. Same goes for Hendriks, Loup is a fine loogy.

[nextyear]

Tepera to replace Cecil:

 

 

 

Tepera has good stats against LHH even though he is a right handed throwing pitcher - http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-add-tepera-to-roster-in-place-of-injured-cecil/

 

 

Here are his stats - http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=10291&position=P. He has had some good outings this year and some no so good outings.

[EMK19]

If there is one thing AA overlooked this past trade deadline, it has to be the horrible depth of the LH relievers we ended up with... someone like Dierkman would sure have looked good depth wise right now. We probably hoped that Loup turned things around in a big way in the final two months and unfortunately that didn't happen. He's LOOGY at best right now unfortunately...

[Followthelight]

Cecil for Tepera......damn news keeps getting worse.

[CJ-Freeway]

f*** our f***ing luck

[500LevelSTH]

Cecil says it was just muscle, should heal in time for spring training. No surgery. Felt the pop on the first step then doesnt remember making tag. Heal up, hope he picks up where he left off.

[Stangstag]

Anyone see the post game interview with LaTroy Hawkins? f***ing hilarious.

 

"Cecil got a torn calf? That's bad... Real bad"

[Jim_Ackers_balls]

I did the same thing to myself playing baseball two years ago. it was about five months before I finally felt right. With the sort of treatment/attention that Cecil will get I'm sure he'll be ready for Spring Training.

Maybe we will see Brett Cecil back in the World Series;

 

Toronto Blue Jays’ Brett Cecil is throwing again after suffering calf tear: ‘He’s moving along’ http://www.canada.com/sports/baseball/toronto+blue+jays+brett+cecil+throwing+again+after+suffering/11437754/story.html

Fingers crossed

 

Beat KC by scoring a ton of runs

 

Get Cecil back to help with the Cubs

[G-Snarls]

Having Cecil to face Schwarber late in a WS game in a big spot would be epic...

[KingKat]

This team should have enough good relievers to be able to survive without Cecil but Gibbons' plan seems to be to simply extend Osuna and Sanchez instead and act like he doesn't have the deep bullpen he actually has. I know that Hendriks and Lowe have had blowups but so has Sanchez and, for whatever reason, he's been given this tremendous rope that they have not been granted.

[EMK19]

Which calf was it again? his supporting leg or his landing leg?

Hopefully not the one that's required to generate his unhittable curveball

Hendriks has had very few blow-ups (less than Sanchez proportionate to use). Lowe has had two but been very good. To me these guys are above Sanchez in high leverage. Yesterday was classic Sanchez against LHH. In the blink of an eye a hit and a BB. I like his arm but I don't like the Gibbyaffair with him and think he used incorrectly sometimes. I hope that doesn't continue.

This really bugged me too. And even after Sanchez was publicly stated to have dropped in the depth chart a couple of weeks ago. He just gets the f***in job right back. Just ridiculous.
