Christian Garcia was through 5 2/3 innings, and threw 69 pitches, 48 for strikes. With a 1-2 count, trainer Tim Lentych came out and after a long meeting with the infield and coaching staff, Garcia and Lentych walked off together.
I will get whatever updates I can for you.
Garcia was pitching at 89-92 MPH on the radar gun.
According to Frankie Piliere, Hector Noesi is ready for Double-A and could be the guy if Garcia has any sort of serious injury.
To update, and a lot of this is on my Twitter, there is/was no obvious injury to Garcia. He looked into the dugout after his 1-1 pitch. He was not clearly favoring anything. I will continue to update as events warrant.
Garcia is now in the dugout with a jacket on…he’s still here. It’s the bottom of the 8th inning.

April 8, 2010 at 8:38 pm |
You can’t even make this stuff up with Garcia.
April 8, 2010 at 8:48 pm |
What the hell happened??! I was going tonight, but something came up. Little did I realize it was my only chance to see him pitch.
April 8, 2010 at 8:50 pm |
PLEASEEE DON”T BE HURTTT!!!! NOOOOOOOO
April 8, 2010 at 8:50 pm |

Man i hope garcia is ok! he’s my favorite!
April 8, 2010 at 8:56 pm |
Come on, Christian! Be all right, man!!!
April 8, 2010 at 8:58 pm |
So what are you saying, they yanked him in the middle of a 1-2 count because of pitch count?? Wasn’t he 1-2 on the batter??
April 8, 2010 at 9:00 pm |
No. The trainer wouldn’t come out for pitch count issues. He was supposed to go 75 according to Tony Franklin and 80-85 according to Garcia himself.
April 8, 2010 at 9:02 pm |
where is he now?
April 8, 2010 at 9:04 pm |
South Beach? 😦
April 8, 2010 at 9:05 pm |
Training room is my guess.
April 8, 2010 at 9:05 pm |
The game is now completely beside the point for me. I need to know about Garcia.
April 8, 2010 at 9:19 pm |
How many times has Garcia been injured while in the Yankees organization?
April 8, 2010 at 9:22 pm |
I believe six.
April 8, 2010 at 9:27 pm |
I think I’m gonna be sick.
April 8, 2010 at 9:32 pm |
Update on Garcia?!:beg:
April 8, 2010 at 9:34 pm |
89-92 would be a few mph below where Pilliere had him in ST a couple of weeks ago. Could be further evidence something was bothering him.
Also remember he was briefly shut down with a sore elbow while in ML Camp early this spring.
April 8, 2010 at 9:40 pm |
ANYTHING ON GARCIA?????

You guys are giving us NOTHING on garcia’s UPDATE!
April 8, 2010 at 9:53 pm |
Agree thunder, the story is Garcia, not the game.
April 8, 2010 at 9:55 pm |
Aren’t You there mike?? Go talk to him! LOL
April 8, 2010 at 9:57 pm |
Well? What up with Xtian?
April 8, 2010 at 9:58 pm |
hey kl,
We should have gone tonight. I know you had to watch your BC boys, though.
Let’s hope that wasn’t the one, the only chance to see CG pitch this season!
April 8, 2010 at 9:59 pm |
Yup, should have gone, but think only good thoughts, godluckgarcia!
April 8, 2010 at 10:00 pm |
I guess Mike has to serve the locals, who are not aware or don’t care that Garcia has the best arm in the Yankee system and that his fortunes are more relevant than the course of this one Thunder game.
At least, to Yankee fans.
April 8, 2010 at 10:16 pm |
It’s the elbow again.
Shakes head…
Sigh…
April 8, 2010 at 10:21 pm |
How do you know elbow?????
April 8, 2010 at 10:28 pm |

Has Garcia had surgery yet? Any decision?
January 26, 2015 at 4:23 pm |
[…] I’ve been to 11 Mets openers and four or five Lakewood BlueClaws openers, but last night was my first opening night at Trenton’s Waterfront Park. And while it may have only been April 8, with a gametime temperature of 75 degrees, it felt like July 8. A gorgeous night all around — with the exception of Christian Garcia’s injury. […]
