Everyone wants to see Mendick at catcher.

More likely, they are trying to build is pitch count each time to get to the 100.

Vecna?

After discussion with other in sport medicine, I think it's more of the power training in the off season. Training for power helps hit HR and throw harder but it doesn't help endurance and longevity. Not proven by any means but a possibility.

Possible. Many structures can "pinch" a nerve.

Yes. The issue is what's causing it.

Back spasms do not cause pain down the leg. I wonder if it is all related to a nerve compression somewhere.

Not arguing merit. Just saying whose issue it was. You blamed the training staff. It wasn't the training staff.

I would disagree. TLR relies on Katz just as he relied on Duncan.

Better than last year so far.

No. They have radiographic equipment but not an MRI. At least they didn't last year and I don't think it's changed.

Yes it is. The White sox had one of the fewest IL usage rates in the MLB for years. If you are only looking at the last 3 years you are correct but to say "have always" is wrong. The Deng issue had nothing to do with the training staff. That isn't their job. That had everything to do with the hospital and physicians.

It's more the latter. But its because if nothing is found d it's easy to interpret the images. However, if they find something they need to analyze the images much closer to determine the amount of damage and if it warrants surgery and how it compares to the physical exam.

This is totally and utterly false.

Sounds like a plica. Very good news.

Usually meniscus or the patella catching. Hope for the patella.

Hopefully more along the lines of patella femoral issue or a tendinopathy.

Not necessarily. Depends what it is the the knee.

That's true. Sprained ankles never happen in sports. How could they allow this to happen?

With how bad the team has played, I'm not surprised that the WAR is lower. Just like last year when Goodwin and Hamilton were playing out of their minds it looked like they lost less WAR.

And the Tigers are worse than the Sox for a record. Makes sense with more injuries. If the six are 11th that means they have had more injuries than most. It is improving and the record will need to improve to make the playoffs.

He did take responsibility for the loss after the game.

Without a doubt if they miss the playoffs. There will be an excuse of the season being too hard on his health or something like that.

I dont know if i agree yet. It all depends on where the team finishes. Ends justify the means. If they get healthy and beat up on the easy schedule, nothing will change

He's done that as well. Last year the there were people complaining he was admitting to too many mistakes and should be fired.
