Poor kid. Hopefully it's nothing, but elbows aren't usually good news.

What a shitty year.

Just forfeit the season, save these guys for 2016.

Hope it's not terrible but fully expect the worst.

How about a dingleberry on a shit sundae.

Ah, shit.

I know this theme has taken on a life of its own but in Breslow's prior 9 appearances over the past month he's been very good.

That obviously doesn't include the HR, walk, 4 hits, and 5 earned runs he allowed yesterday in 2/3 of an inning, right?

Since we don't seem to be discussing the injury or aftermath... there is no need to keep the thread open.
