You are a contrarian aren't you. When everyone is positive, you're negative. When everyone is negative you go the positive.

Fractures are far less of a concern. Thise heal easy unless you have osteoporosis.

Makes sense. I've never seen one and there is no literature on it in the sports medicine research. There is for milder strains but not grade 3.

A fracture, anything short of a ankle dislocation, would have been preferable. With a fracture it's a plate, a pin and 6-8 weeks, good as new.

Possible. However this was such a unique circumstance with that trip right before going into a reach for the bag that I wouldn't read too much into it. It's not like he did it just running normally .

No this is research on athletes. This is where i go for information. Of course it's always possible. I'm not a pessimist. I only go by experience and what the literature says. This injury never happens and they have no idea exactly what they are going to do. They are going to send him to a few specialists and it's going to be very difficult to decide what to do. It's not going to be an easy recovery. He could be the Robert we know in 6 months. My guess is will hear something like the Jimenez report, we'll know more in 3 months.

They know already. They are currently trying to decide if surgery is warranted to remove tissue that is too damaged to allow the rest of it to heal. That is the decision.

They can't reconstruct a muscle. A bone, a ligament cartilage, Yes. Muscles don't work that way. They are too dynamic with a high degree of vascularity.

It is possible it will not affect him long term whatsoever. That's all I got.

The problem is you don't see injuries like this. I've never seen one in over 30 years. He will come back but I would bet my house it's 100%. The odds are he will but it's not a slam dunk.

No. It depends where the injury is, if surgery will help. With a mid-substance tear, surgery is iffy regardless.

You can't guarantee it but the injury to Robert is very different. You can't fix it with surgery like you could with Tatis if necessary.

Jimenez will not have a long term impact.

Injuries can derail even the best plans. The pitching staff is worth watching. Scoring will be at a premium now for this team. Abreu unfortunately will probably press even harder now. He may swing at pickoffs to first.

or Biden, he is the same age as TLR.

First it was TLR causing the injury now it's JR?

I can't even convince myself of that.

Unfortuately, it is, pretty much

Apples to oranges. Jackson had a fracture of the femoral head and needed a hip replacement. He was never going to really run again.

Tua was labral injuries that could easily be fixed with surgery.

worse. Jimenez was Peavy.

Depends on what you mean by karma. Karma doesn't cause injuries. Tripping running to first does

I've never seen one as bad as this one is being is reported.

Unless the team makes it to the post season then he deserves manager of the year.

Pretty much
