Correct. It's really semantics when it comes to treating it in any of these cases. It's supporting it and allowing time to heal and play as pain permits.

Sorry, didn't see the part at the end. I know about the situation. Had friends in the NBA at the time. What players and the general public don't understand is that you can follow all established protocols and CPRs and still be wrong on occasion. The protocols are based on the average likely outcomes and interventions. This is why you should always have second opinions. If he really had a case he would have sued. There are lawsuits in every league every year. Players don't get blackballed from leagues for medical lawsuits. Either way the point is no one is right all the time. If this is only significant one, they were doing well.

I'm not going down this discussion again but every player blames the medical staff for malpractice when things don't go right. Most often they are wrong. Not always but most of the time. They don't understand the process either. Again no medical professional is right all the time. This could have been one of the mistakes. If that is the only significant one, that's an impressive record.

It would be great if they were right all the time. Unfortunately, that just isn't medicine. There is a reason its called the practice of medicine. No one is right all the time. All physicians have had medical malpractice lawsuits.

No problem with questioning it. Should always get secind opinions. The issue is when they absolutely know that it was all mishandled and was wrong. If the statement was why didn't they find the hairline fracture, thats one thing. To demean them because they called it a sprain at first just shows they have no idea of the evaluation process and what goes into it.

I doubt it's an avulsion. An avulsion is when a piece of bone is pulled away from the rest of the bone. This is described as hacracked from what I've read, which is just a crack.

I know, the medical knowledge on this site is astounding. Most really should be working for the Mayo clinic.

Maybe, but the organization will give him every shot to play at SS. Based on everything we read.

No one is going to be shortstop for more than 4-6 weeks because Montgomery will be back by then.

I'll be stunned if Perez, Davis or Smith spend any time in Charlotte.

I see that it is in his great toe. Can be painful as you need to push off with that toe. However, i don't it keeps him out more than a week or 2.

I know historically pitchers who rely on breaking pitched rather than velocity don't do as well in Arizona. Let's hope.

Where is the fracture? How did it happen?

No one doubted it in relief. Although before the UCL there was a decrease in velocity but xould have been the elbow issue. Everyone doubted the arm for starting. Everyonewas shocked when they made him a starter prior to opening day.

Nor should you. I was referring to it as a breakout candidate not the actual performance. What he did borders on miraculous. Very innovative and ground breaking program.

You don't have to, I don't think you do anyway. Not saying quite crochet level but as far as a breakout star pitcher.

Twinkle eating.

No there isn't. If only go to se wins then yes. However if you can enjoy a baseball game then there isnt.

Crochet had never started in his life. I would say both Burke and smith have electric stuff as well. With more quality pitches than crochet showed before last year.

His tuff looks good. In the minors it was health. That will determine his worth.

Yeah, they are going to struggle to score. Hopefully in the second half with meidroth, Teel, quero and Montgomery they get things going.

Be honest. Did you think Garrett Crochet was going to be what he was prior to opening day last year? I didn't think so, so last year they didn't have a Garrett crochet either.

Thats only true if you can't just enjoy a baseball game. I know they are going to suck and not win much but a summer baseball game is still enjoyable for many.

In the game today, the GM and analytics staff has much of the pregame decision power

Wow, that's quick for Benintendi. I wonder if it's braced? He probably wants to start hit so he can be traded.
