Balta1701 3,293 Posted February 17 So if that happened in January...if I go back to threads started in January here, won't I find one of Getz saying Crochet will be in the bullpen right around that time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomPickle 554 Posted February 17 (edited) Not to say that this is inherently the wrong decision, but if an injury to Jace Fry helped push them in this direction instead of giving Justin Wilson $4 million or something then what was even the point of the rebuild? Also, thank god they DFA'd Ross Detwiler for some reason last year and decided not to bring him back. Edited February 17 by TomPickle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are we sure Morosi won't follow up that tweet with a corrected one saying the exact opposite ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAfan 224 Posted February 17 Jace Fry? Seriously? Wow, will we hear "the sky is falling" for every little nick a White Sox player receives this year? Or "they should have ...... done XYZ"? The Sox will have injuries, as will every major league team. They will manage around them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's kind of the point of signing extra arms and having good ones ready to come up from the minors. It's a weak argument to attack a position rather than the actual thought process behind it. Anyone can simply discredit an argument by wording it broadly and putting quotes around it like a strawman. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesaiditstrue 533 Posted February 18 As someone who is currently suffering with extreme sciatic nerve pain, I hope this guy can get this taken care of. That kind of pain can sideline anyone, excruciating. Mine was easily a 10 on the pain scale, missed 3 days straight of work with little progression at all. Ended up having to work through it, I looked like a 40 year old in an 80 year olds body 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tray 551 Posted February 21 One of friends (around 50 ) has sciatica and eventually had surgery. The extreme pain came back in less than 2 years. He is average weight but can't do much to condition himself because he can't exercise without pain. It is a vicious circle. Right now he is reticent to have a second back surgery even though has some really bad days where he can barely walk. Personally I am more concerned about this as a possible chronic pain problem for Jace Fry than I am with whether he can pitch again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A second surgery is typically a mistake as if the first one didn't help, the disc probably wasn't the cause of the issue. Chronic pain is not a typical result of a microdiscectomy.
