Ross on 15 day DL
Ross got his start agains left hander Cameron with the Padres. 2nd inning Ross hits a solo line shot out of the park. I mean drilled it out. 4th inning Cody draws a walk, steals second base and on an Olivo double, Ross rounds third base and feels something pop. Almost going to his knees he hobbles to home plate and scores the run. What an effort to keep going and score. If anyone has ever hurt a hamstring, you know how much it well……. hurts. That was really a gutsy play. Way to go Cody. The bad news is Ross had to be helped off the field and is now on the 15 day DL with a strained hami. I hope it is just a strain, a pulled hami can take a long time to heal…The Marlins had to call up Eric Reed after they just sent him back to AAA. He had actually not even left Miami yet. Marlins are really getting hammered with injuries. To make matters worse, the Marlins lost the game in the 12th inning 7-6 with some sloppy playing. They lost again on Sunday with some excellent pitching by the Padres Jake Peavy. Marlins lose the game 3-1 and the series 2-1. Marlins are now 14-16. Third in the division behind the Braves and Mets.
I just recently had a hammy injury playing softball. I didn’t even make it through the first inning. While running to first base crossed the bag and couldn’t slow down, then, “pop” I felt it, then gimped over to the bench. It’s a really weird injury. I was told by a cute 20-something that I’m not a spring chicken anymore. 15 days sounds about right for that.
