Anyway, I think this warrants a discussion about the spate of hamstring injuries suffered by baseball players. Last week, Tim McCarver gave an excellent explanation of why they happen in baseball, as opposed to other sports, with such frequency and said teams need to adjust their conditioning. He even suggested yoga. The cost of these injuries in financial terms and in the sense of lost opportunity is huge. I wonder if it would have happened if he weren’t working on a no-hitter.

Injured for weeks (we know, we know) AND losing the possibility of a no-hitter in his second major league start. OUCH!

But Phil did show that he belonged, and when he comes back (whenever that may be), he looks like he will be able to pitch effectively out of the rotation, and, as mentioned previously, won't have too many innings on his arm where they will have to consider shutting him down late. But what a tease that was tonight, so disappointing. I just got back to my room and turned on the game, and that is what I saw. Unfortunately, all we can do is rationalize.

That is probably more than 4-6 weeks. We're likely looking at 2 months now. Pete Abe is reporting that Cashman said it was a “significant strain.” That is probably more than 4-6 weeks.

It's also good that it is not an arm injury. So I'm picking at straws now... ... at least Wang, Pettite, Mussina should be good enough to get us to a reasonable striking distance for when Hughes does return.
