Player Notes
August 17, 2005
Melvin Mora admitted Tuesday that his right ankle, which he sprained ealier this month, still hurts him to the point where it pains him to turn on inside pitches, according to the Baltimore Sun. He is also suffering from a sore left shoulder which is causing him to use a lighter bat. "I don't know in the last three weeks if you know how many balls I have hit to right field," he said. "None. A ball I try to hit to right field is a ground ball to second base. When I've got my swing, I am lining it to center field straight. That's when I am ready. Now, I don't have that, but I am working."
