Narveson Cuts Pitching Hand -- Latest: status for Monday, August 22 up in the air; Wily Peralta may start (reply #107)

[wibadgers23]

Just reported on the WSSP postgame show. Narveson sliced his pitching hand trying to fix his glove. He will miss his next start. Please no Marco Estrada. Please.

[PrinceEatMeat]

This sucks. Now we get to deal with Estrada because of Narveson's stupidity.

[trwi7]

I'd call up Peralta.

[dlk9s]

I'm not to worried about one start. I just hope it's limited to that.

[hawing]

Waaah, and just literally minutes ago I was speculating in the chat room that our next attended game (Friday) would be a Narvdog start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Now I just have to whip up a Wholestaff jersey or shirt.

Not the end of the world for Narveson to be skipped. Last three starts were mixed, but none were great. Might be a good idea to call up someone from the minors for a spot start or two. However it's dealt with, the staff needs to be in good shape for the road trip to NY and PIT (Doubleheader on AUG 22).

[pebadger]

Estrada did a decent job in place of Greinke early in the year, and they've pretty much kept him up with the big club all season for just this contingency. Until he pitches himself out of the start-spot role, he'll be picking up the work. Given how the Brewers tend to handle things, I have little doubt this is the case.

[FoxyFoxes]

Not a huge problem. call up someone for a spot start . DLing him wouldnt be the end of the world either. need him for september though.

[Glennron]

What the hell was he using to fix his glove that would be capable of causing a cut that bad?

Matty Wise's salad tongs.

I think RR said Narvy was using scissors and slipped, but I didn't fully catch it on the Fox postgame. Came up right at the end of the show.

Well, Louis Braille did blind himself with an awl while punching holes in leather.

Is Rosiak on Twitter? I can't find this on the JSOnline.

"Narvy no power tools".

[brwrsfan]

If it's just one start, I'd guess we would go with Estrada, though he's not exactly stretched out. If it's a DL stint, they have to call someone up. Other than Peralta (who would line up to pitch on Friday), what other options would we realistically have to bring up?

 

We could send Dillard down for the roster spot if Narveson doesn't go on the DL. Hopefully it's just one start, we'll find out tomorrow I guess. Which hand was it? If it's his glove hand, they could wrap it up and he'd be back much sooner.

 

Too bad those two off days were last week, not this week or next so we can't just skip him.

I find it really annoying that Narveson could have been skipped at least a few times but wasn't. Now, he can't when he's not available.

[Bombers]

Don't they have a guy for that? Seriously who fixes their own glove and slices off his thumb? Call the glove doctor, he does good work.

[trwi7]

I'm surprised he cut his left thumb. I don't know him and don't know if he does a lot of stuff with his right hand but I figured he would be holding the scissors with his left hand. I guess not.

[Oldcity]

I'm "left-handed." By that I mean I eat, write, throw lefty, but conventional things like scissors, computer mouse, etc I use right-handed because lefty versions are so rare. I'm guessing that's the case here.

 

I'll second the vote for a Peralta callup.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I guess it's moving up Greinke to Friday and Estrada/Wholestaff on Saturday night. Estrada likely has a start coming up with the Doubleheader anyway. Would've been easier if this happened while we had the extra off days...today was first of 17 in 16 days.

[PKBadger]

I guess the bright side is that we've been getting extremely lucky on the injury front. Weeks will be back, sounds like Gomez should be back, and Hart didn't break his hand. Marcum sure scared me tonight but it was just cramps.

 

God is a Brewers fan.

[Mr QL]

Dang, I wanted to make a Matt Wise salad tongs joke. This really puts us in a tough spot tho, really don't want to see Estrada start.

[FoxyFoxes]

KEgStand delete that post........lol

[stoutdude04]

Dont they have someone who should do that for him? Cripes.
