Heard that Roenker hurt his ankle in the Lloyd game. Not sure if he will be able to pitch in this one...I'll still take Holy Cross 3-1.

I'm hearing the same from my sources. They have been feeding me the same information.:cry:

Sad, sad news. I feel terrible for the kid, he was having a good year.

I am not buying this! I say AR will be just fine and we will have a great, well pitched game. JMO

You're not believing that he hurt his ankle when more than one person has heard/seen otherwise?

 

I take HC 5-3.

How many people said Smith from BW broke (or very bad sprain) his ankle in a thread earlier this year? There are so many players (kids) on here any more you have to be careful what you believe. Like I put at the end- JMO.

He may have an injury, but I say there is NO way he does not pitch this game. We will see come Tuesday.

Probably not going to happen as of last night. Smith was knocked unconscious by a line drive at Boone and suffered a broken eye socket and is out for the year. Roenker's ankle sore probably will not go since Smith is not pitching.

What? Really?

This thread says Smith has a broken eye socket and is done for the year, another thread says xrays were fine and he will be back. Does anyone have any confirmed information on the real story.

There is no comfirmed information as of now. I do not know where these sources are coming from and if so, please pm me. But for all of my knowledge there is no comfirmed information.

When did all of this happen?

I don't believe any of it honestly. I think even if Roenker has a sore ankle, he'll still go, or at least give it a try and make a decision from there. There is no way he makes a decision 3 days ahead when a slight sprain might only take 3 or 4 days to get over. As for Smith, I definitely don't believe any of that.

Theoldguy up on his soapbox!

 

While I wasn't there at any of the games in question, I am hopeful that the posters are telling the truth about the injuries! If they are not and are just playing mind games, then I for one will be writing Guru to complain about members breaking rule #6.

 

We have a great community of baseball enthusiast who post to the baseball forum on a regular basic, and we don't need false or misleading information being posted thinking its going to gain an advantage for one team over another.

We'll all see on Tuesday I guess. Hope both players are healthy.

Smith did get hit in the eye with the ball. If his eye is open enough to see he will pitch IMO cant confirm or deny the broken socket but I did here it was his fastest pitch of the game, when he kept battling the batter and he kept fouling off his fastballs.....

Thanks for the apology. Story was true that Smith was hit. I spoke to A.J.'s dad Saturday night at Maifest and he said A.J. was doing good. No broken bones just lots of swelling. He also said he is not sure if A.J. will be able to pitch. This will be depend on how the swelling subsizes.

 

A.J.'s dad did want to thank everyone who has called and checked up on him.:thumb:
