Hanley Ramirez good to go?

by craig on May 2, 2009 12:50 PM EDT in News and Rumors

Hanley Ramirez may return to the lineup today.

After going four games without Hanley Ramirez in the lineup, the Marlins look like they will be getting him back full-time beginning Saturday -- pain included.

Ramirez, who couldn't take more than 10 swings off a tee Thursday because of the pain in his right wrist, got two at-bats in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs after entering the game in the seventh.

---

''It pinches each time I swing, but I've got to go with it,'' said Ramirez...

---

``I feel it every time I grab the bat. But I can swing. The swelling is a little bit better. But I've got to take it. I want to be out there.''

---

''He's good to go,'' Gonzalez said. ``He had two good at-bats, and he'll be good to go tomorrow.''

It would be good to have Hanley back in the lineup, but I hope they are not rushing him. However, it sounds like they are.

I don’t know if anybody has been watching the last couple of games, but Amezaga has been carrying the marlins. He saved the game on thursday night and made some ridiculous plays on friday. He plays so much harder than hanley it’s not even funny. Guys like Amezaga and Bonifacio play hard and that makes up for whatever people think Hanleys got. I would take Amezaga over Hanley anyday. And I watched Carroll hit BP today and it was incredible. That kid hit about 15 homeruns out in BP. 2 out of the whole park in left and one out of the whole park in left center. It was fun to watch. He needs to get a game where he plays the whole thing. It’s tough being a young guy trying to go in and bat once every series. He needs to learn how to adjust i guess.

as the song goes...

You take Amezaga and I’ll take Hanley
And I’ll be in Scotland before you.

And by Scotland, I mean any measure of success you can think of.

your songs awful

Your analogies weak, but some parts make sense. Scotland is a beautiful place in pictures and from an outside glance, but it is classically a place that is known for its turmoil and lackadaisical inhabitants. Sure they’ll fight on occasion, but only on their own terms and when forced to do so. So in that facet your analogy makes sense. Hanley is one of the laziest players on the team and gets paid alot of money to do so. He thinks he can just put the jersey on and walk on the field. Until he hits consistently, i will take Amezaga who can save runs with his glove day in and day out, and for that matter actually plays hard.

wow

I’m not quite sure how to respond to this, actually.

stats...

that will pretty much cover it

I know

Of course you don’t know how to respond, because Hanley is lazy. He did get a hit yesterday and walked a bunch, but there is no way Hanley should be thrown out at second when Zambrano throws a curve 80 mph. Hanley practices lazy so in turn when the game comes he transfers it onto the field. He should never be thrown out on a slow curve, but because his habits transfer onto the field stuff like that happens. That had the opportunity to be a big inning for the marlins and it wasn’t.

except that, you know, he beat the tag...

although I suppose Lazy Hanley Ramirez, with his incredible reverse empath ability to transfer it onto the field, could have in turn made the umpire lazy, and since the ump was lazy, he made the wrong call.

Goddamn you and your dastardly acts, Lazy Hanley Ramirez. You will be the death of this team.

REALLY?

First of don’t ever say GD. Second of you are an idiot, i was at the game and he was clearly out. Hanley just whined about it and made it look like he was safe.

"Hanley just whined about it and made it look like he was safe."

Goddamn, this just keeps getting better and better.

So first you were able to see an area roughly 1′×1′ with more clarity and accuracy from, say 100 feet away if you were sitting in the front row, than the cameras that can show the buttons on a jersey, from multiple angles, at speeds of, I dunno, 120 frames per second…

And then, as if that weren’t spectacular enough, you must have been able to hear the words exchanged by Hanley and the umpire to know that he was whining, since his actions were just about what you see from every baserunner trying to appeal.

Hey wait a minute… you must have enhanced senses, and it must be that very gift that allows you to pick up on both Lazy Hanley Ramirez’s laziness and his ability to transfer that laziness to others! And what a coincidence, that show Heroes is usually on Mondays but it’s not on tonight… goddamn this is getting spooky…
