    This may be worth it's own thread.

    And I really hope I'm wrong.

    We'll sub-title it "How will Stros lineup fair without Lowrie?" then.

    Villar called up

    Yea this is likely gonna be a situation that goes well past the Padres series, and as well as he has played this definitely deserves it's own thread

    My guess, if this is long term, is that Marwin takes over at SS and Fontana comes up as a utility guy. Marwin has always been good as a part time guy, but gets a little overexposed playing full time....

    Obviously i'd rather see Correa come up and play SS. It's really early, but we are in first place and have won series against every team in our division. Let's put our best guys on the field..... but don't think that happens

    What an awkward slide.

    I broke my wrist in little league sliding into home and had pretty much the same reaction Jed did last night. Hopefully it's minor.

    He also had some sort of hand/thumb issue in the Oakland series... but obviously didn't stop him from raking.

    That may have affected this more... or it was just simply a bad slide.

    I think his issue in Oakland was on the other hand. He hurt the right hand last night, in Oakland his left was bothering him.

    Clutch has actually requested multiple times that we split more information out in this sub-forum. That way people don't have to dig through threads to find information.

    Hopefully not too serious.

    This will hurt. Jed has quietly held our offense together. Villar will be up soon. Obviously we all want Correa, but the guy has 76 AA at-bats. No need to rush him, even if he is slaughtering the competition. I'd expect Marwin to take a good chunk of Jed's starts, with which I'm 100% okay. Marwin has played really well thus far.

    Always hurt to lose a middle-of-the-order bat. Especially Jed since he's our main veteran presence and is playing very well. Hopefully it's not too serious, and hopefully Gattis/Carter/Springer continue their upward climb to help with the missing offense.

    He had the most sloppy looking slide to cause this injury, as much as he is a leader and a dinger in the line up, its all on him for this injury. Learn to slide better at home, it's not as if you must avoid a collision these days.

    Had he not slid, he would likely have been out. Also, I am pretty sure he wasn't planning to make such an awkward slide. Sometimes things just happen.

    It was a very close play at the plate. Had he slid normally, he likely would've been out. He tried to contort his body so as to avoid the tag, and he did just that. It was a crafty slide. It was not pretty, but it got the job done in a bang-bang play. Not sure what more you can ask for.

    “I just stuck. I’ve slid like that my whole life,” Lowrie said. “I always slide on my left side and drag my knee across. Today it was like I just stuck. My knee hit and stuck and I flipped over and my hand was in the way.” - Quote from Chron.com , Maybe Jed should improve on the way he slides that way he can avoid any further injuries. Thats what I'm too expect.

    Heading into this morning’s game at Midland, Correa is hitting .382 while leading the Texas League in doubles (10), RBIs (21), slugging percentage (.735), extra-base hits (15), runs (16) and total bases (50).

    Correa, who has been named to the last two Futures Games during All-Star Weekend, has four home runs and one triple.

    Correa earned the Texas League Player of the Week award by hitting .435 (10-for-23) with eight runs, two doubles, three home runs and seven RBIs in five games last week.


    I know it's risky, but this kid getting called up soon could keep us in 1st place all year if he's as good as advertised.

    So, if a guy is doing something his whole life and has never had a problem, and something unusual occurs that causes an injury, he should change his mechanics? Plus, this was a freak injury to his hand, not his knee or leg.

    If Clayton Kershaw lands funny on the mound and sprains his ankle, he should change his delivery? The same delivery that has successfully thrown thousands and thousands of pitches?
