Facts are facts and incorrect statements are incorrect, man, doesn’t matter if it was Albert Einstein still wouldn’t make a muscle located below the joint magically be located above it, nor would it make the fact the plantaris contracts the plantaris tendon during toe gripping untrue

I asked is it located where he puts his thumb. Of course it is not, which is probably when you didn’t answer, no? At the location he placed the thumb it is not possible. clearly that is not the location he is pointing nor to which i am referring. Why you are pretending otherwise I don’t know

Sure if you ignore the fact what I have said is true and was rebuffed by false claims

at 0:55 is your claim that you can feel the popliteus at the location at which he is setting his thumb? That would be odd considering it isn’t located there

You must not read very well because the popliteous is below the joint. As I clearly stated you can feel plantaris a little bit above the joint or crease slightly on the outer half. I’m done man whatever. As soon as you can stand on the tips of your toes then let me know if you can feel it flexing

Yes it does man. This is stupid. Are you sure you’re a therapist. You can see the movement of the tendon on the inside of heel/ankle area when forming toe grip and feel the flexion of the muscle above the knee

Yes you can in fact feel the muscle contract. Why you’re even disputing this I have no idea. A tendon does not contract like a muscle there is no way I am confusing a tendon for it. Like I said my therapist showed me. You can feel it slightly above the joint, slightly on the outside running slightly diagonally. Maybe you are one of the few who don’t have one

Yes I do because the plantaris extends beyond the base of those muscles. It feels like a relatively thin cord right above the joint. I said I can feel it in post you’re responding to so obviously I think it can be felt. Therapist showed me. Do I think it would be stressed with larger muscles right there? Yes the other muscles aren’t attached to the plantaris tendon, which is involved in toe gripping. It would be more easily stressed since it isnt normally used much. I really don’t get how you find this anyway controversial

It is the same. You curl the toe inward to stabilize the toe. Can you even stand on the tips of your toes? If you can you can more easily feel the plantaris muscle flexing. You can easily feel the thin cord right above the back of the joint. It really pops out.

And the plantaris muscle behind the knee is part of that mechanism Plantaris injury Anatomy The plantaris muscle is a fine rope-like tendon running next to the larger Achilles Tendon. Its function is to work with the Achilles to flex the ankle and knee joint by extending from the outside (lateral) back of the femur (allowing you to stand on your toes or point your foot) If youre standing on your toes the same mechanism is used as gripping, which extends from the toe to the heel up to the plantaris muscle. Which is why I speculated the weight shift when coming out of the crouch due to sore knee may have caused the strain. If you put an uneven load on one foot while coming out of a crouch there is compensation in the toes, which ultimately involves contraction of the plantaris, pulling on the tendon and causing strain.

I didn’t say it went to the toes. But the muscle contracts in toe gripping. Any fool can verify this by forming a grip with the toes while touching the back of the knee or looking at the calf while making a gripping movement. This just a basic fact. The forearm muscles aren’t attached to fingers either. Would you say that means they arent contracted when you grip your fingers??

I know about this because I had trouble with plantaris fasciitis when I was waiting tables. Seems the trouble was my shoes. The heel was too high related to my toes, which caused my toes to grip down when I was standing to maintain balance. Seems weird the muscle that pulls the tendon that results in toe grip is behind the knee, but that is the case. A remnant of our monkey past

That’s got to be it, no? I think I read 2-4 weeks for that for normal everyday recovery. Maybe 2 more to get back in playing condition? The only thing it really does is help with toe gripping, which is hardly ever used anyway. Could make sense, maybe he was curling his toes to help take pressure off his knee somehow and the unusual usage caused the strain. Maybe he curled his toes when coming out of a crouch to shift the weight off the knee. If you crouch and then come up with the majority of weight on one leg, you can see for yourself the foot has to do something abnormal to maintain the balance as you rise. Pressing down with the toes to compensate, which is basically the only thing the plantaris does.

Why not? The Padres did. Too bad Sox can’t trade with themselves

If Eaton played good defense I’d agree with you, but he’s garbage in the field too so I’d say the Sox have better options. That and I don’t think Burger is going back down unless he faceplants

He is?? Jeez. I can’t even keep up with them all

That’s an awful long post to explain why something is not worth discussing. I challenge you to come up with an even longer post about how it’s not worth discussing why its not worth discussing.. No word gobbledygook to fill up space though. I need a series of cogent and concise statements supporting the argument. If you choose to fulfill this task I will accept your challenge and provide said statistical analysis of this unworthy topic.

There are actually managers out there aware of the fact there is such a thing as reverse splits. Acting like it’s not a flaw is pure denial

Considering he was running through a bog, I think even an elite CF rarely makes that play

If he’s a team leader, then he wouldn’t fight it. Don’t think resisting the plans of his superiors and causing disorder among the team would generally be considered leadership

10-40 percent probability my ass. See this just shows how horse shit some of these defensive metrics. They literally just arbitrarily slapped a number on it

So you agree he’s senile then? I’d prefer to pretend coginitive decline among elderly alcoholics showing actual apparent signs of decline doesn’t exist and that in fact the human mind remains sharp as a tack until the day we die. It will be helpful in maintaining this delusion if we all call it bigotry instead. I hope the board will comply with my humble request and deviants promptly excoriated. Thank you very much

Even older school is putting the best nine players on the field come hell or high water

Greatest catch of all time right there

Not according to fangraphs. But even so as I just said, how can you claim Collins has evened out over 32 games, nearly half of which have been Rodon and most of the rest Giolito?? There is no way you can demonstrate the difference in pitchers handled can’t just as easily be attributable to the difference. There’s no way in 32 games Collins stats can have evened out the discrepancies between 90 umpires when at maximum he has only caught with 35% of the statistical body. Odds are the commonality between Grandal’s and Collins umpires have been less than 20% of games caught
