Also, I blame myself for wondering if Shaw will pitch more games than Eloy + Yoan will play (combined) this year.

Shaw gave them a good head start, but, wily veteran he is, he’s only to 10 games to make up (14 vs. 4). Could be caught up by the end of April, realistically.

Sorry to see Yoan go down for so long.
RE: training for athletics vs. aesthetics… there was some article / video I saw a few years ago where they pitted power lifters and bodybuilders against I believe the NFL combine.
It was either in the first or second 40-yard sprint that the first bodybuilder went down.
What it came down to, broadly speaking, was the lack of training of your nervous system that occurs when doing athletic activities. If you’re just training for aesthetics, you’re frequently isolating muscles, rather than chaining together complex movements. By NOT training your muscles to work together (like in olympic power lifting, sprinting, etc.), you’re opening yourself up for having your muscles misfiring / mis-timing their movements, which can exacerbate your injury outlook, especially when you don’t give your muscles an nerves a chance to warm up.
This is why you see more dynamic stretching and warm-ups taking place (the days of static stretching being standard “warm-up” are long gone), and this is why you see stationary bikes on NFL sidelines. You want to activate the muscle chains and neural paths along the muscle groups, and you want to keep them warm and activated so that they don’t crumple like a pile of bricks 10 steps down the field.
I’ll let our resident expert @ptatc fact check me here, but the above is my understanding and working theory of “common” practices these days.

Too bad they can't call up Popeye to replace Moncada.
Yeah, but how could they ever have foreseen an injury there?

Moncada was busting it out of the box, he was full tilt when he collapsed before first base.
I mean the Sox media. We are aware Yoan got hurt hustling.
they’ve updated the picture since then.
-
Lol. These guys clearly aren't even trying anymore.
I can't post the screenshot, but thegame story headline says "Snake-bitten Sox lose Moncada to injury before rallying past Guards."
The picture shows Robert (wrong player) in a home jersey (it was an away game) to summarize a game in which the picture player was not participating.

Apparently Getz has joined the team in Cleveland.
Is he Moncada's replacement?

Yeah Alot has to do with inflated salaries which I agree with are too high but he needs to spend SMART. Hahn did a lot of dumpster spending to fill the roster because the lack of young developing talent. You can spend 100 million on 3 or 4 superstars and win if you spend 100 million on 22 more guys wisely through development and scouting. I get sick seeing Moncadas salary but they refused to spend on a superstar for 5-10 million more per year. We are paying 10 million plus to players not even on the roster this year
Not just spending on players, but more so spending on player development.
The Sox have had no discernible strategy when it comes to player development. Smart organizations like the Guardians, Dodgers, Braves, and Orioles consistently develop players because a) they create development plans for their players; b) they tend to acquire guys whose characteristics fall into these strategies; and c) follow through on these development plans.
JR sees the farm as just a warehouse, when it should be seen as a factory.

The man is not fat...
Not saying he is.

I guess it’s more a response to a lot of the people on the board who rip him for being fat and lazy.

Another soft tissue injury running the bases by a guy who is built like a Greek God.
Ozzie was right, fat doesn't pull.
The three stooges, Moncada, Jimenez and Robert.
All you can do is laugh.
SS2K5 is right this entire operation needs to be burned down to the ground starting with new ownership. Until then the baseball gods are going to keep shitting on it and by proxy the fan base.
Confused - this board rips on Yoan for being fat. Now he’s built like a Greek God?
-
So when does Moncada end up on the IL, and for how long?
my guess? Wait 5 days, then he’s out for 5 weeks.

Yeah I agree to a point. He did ok in 90s thru early 2000s Atleast the management was competent. Although there was still issues. Rock hahn was a complete clown. Ventura/Grifol clowns. Larussa past his prime. If we kept that guy from the cubs and Cooper probably done better in 2021-2023. Gm sucked ass with bad draft picks , free agent signings , and trades. Should have been all in on Bryce Harper.
90s and 2000s were a different era.
the game has passed Jerry by, but he refuses to change. He has to do it “his” way, which may have accidentally worked in the 2000s, but not today.

Somehow not even the worst (Oakland).
We can’t even suck with distinction.

Starting to think that a real manager will be assigned by the commissioner's office to prevent further embarrassment...directly paid/subsidized by NYC offices of MLB.
Be careful.
with our luck they’ll “assign” us TLR.

I just can't get over this. You pinch hit Fletcher, and then had him bunt. What the f***?
Should have let him take 2 strikes to draw the intentional walk.

Didn’t grifol JUST say something about Yoan nursing a sore adductor, and how he was doing a great job with it

Some of the Ozzie Sunday lineups were pretty bad....that being said, I 100% agree with you.
They at least had big league players at at least 5 of the positions usually.
this one is BAAAAD. And this is before Moncada’s spring seasonal injury.
Moncada out 3-6 months, Colás recalled
in Pale Hose Talk

Yeah, but we also got a lot of empty promises and seats at many tables for Hahn, so isn’t it a win-win?
