Medical Reports Positive on Hawpe
Brad Hawpe has received encouraging medical news.
What was a feeling of concern when Hawpe intially was injured in Monday night’s game against the Padres turned into a feeling of relief on Tuesday.
Hawpe is described as having suffered a contusion on his right neck. He is not expected to be placed on the disabled list and could return to the lineup by the weekend.
A concussion was ruled out by the doctors.
Hawpe was hit in the right side of the neck, just below the batting helmet, by a throw from Padres catcher Nick Hundley, who was attempting to pick Hawpe off second base. Hawpe was diving back into the bag when he was hit.
Initially Hawpe laid motionaless. Eventually a neck brace was placed on Hawpe as a precautionary move, and he was driven off the field and taken, by ambulance, to Rose Medical Center where a CT scan of his head and neck came back negative. He was released before midnight, returned to Coors Field and then spent the night at home.
All I can say is THANK GOD! I have been worried about poor Bradley all day! It is such a relief to know that he is okay. I can only imagine how his family was feeling when he got taken off the field. Let us all hope for a speedy recovery for one of our best players so far this season!!
In other news, I am sure you all saw Jacoby Ellsbury steal home the other night. I think Fowler needs to give that a shot. I'm serious. lol

Yay! That is great news!
I'm grateful that Brad is alright.
As for the Suicide Squeeze, the Rockies need to just go for it one of these games when they are at the end of the game and there is the probability that they'll lose anyway, or if the run makes it they'll tie. That'd be awesomeness.
I'm so glad Hawpe is OK!
