When you ignore the manager, why would he have your back? It goes both ways.

Care to wager?

People keep ripping the Sox for having Vaughn in RF. I'm not sure if they are the starters but can anyone take SD serious if they have Myers, profar and mazara in the OF

No you must blame management. Players have less of an effect on yhe game than the players. Hyperbole of course but i can't believe that in baseball were mangers have such a small effect in the game comparatively TLR gets so much attention.

In the early 80s when the entire pitching fell apart with odd injuries Dotson (TOS) and Burns (arthritic hip) it made them aware of how fickle long term pitcher contracts would be. One reason they traded McDowell was his arthritic hip issue. He wanted a longer deal. The Sox traded him and he had only one good year after it.

I agree. That's why I said they were concentrated in a few players. They were generally a healthy team.

It was just concentrated on a few players with significant injuries.

Some people can't help but to focus on the negative all the time.

That's a possibility. He really does seem like a west coast guy.

Danks and Buehrle come to mind. Burns, Dotson and Bannister from the old days. But thise were the bad contracts that scared JR from long term deals to pitchers.

Interesting. I like the change. My OCD immediately likes the correct symmetry of the placement of 2B.

Sox have a history of extending their own pitchers. Better than fair chance he signs one.

SRV was awesome. I was at the show the night before he died. Maybe he meant his brother Jimmy? An outstanding guitar player himself.

It's odd that he calls his foot rigid. That doesn't have anything to do with his Achilles. The Achilles is definitely less pliable after 2 surgeries.

Harrison will bat 9. Flip moncada and grandal. Sheets will DH if a RHP starts.

Probably him or Sheets to start in RF.

Don't you start talking positive about the Sox. You will he labeled as a a person to carry their water or be mocked as a person who just doesn't see reality.

That's right. Very weird scenario.

Nevermind. Obviously a serious day due to the extent of the injury

that when players dive on the ground they can get a bruise?

I bet the over for CWS, Det, MIL. Other than that I agree.

Yep.

That's pretty much the best case. Seems odd they waited so long to say anything. Maybe an MRI to see if there was a small fracture for the pelvis?

Yeah, there is always the "precautionary" MRI which shows nothing.

Just guessing but I don't think a contusion would need to wait for further evaluation. So hip pointer is probably out. Not for sure but the longer it goes on the less likely that what it is. It starting to look like a possible tear of the labrum or a hip flexor. Most likely soft tissue.
