Might be a cracked kneecap or ACL/MCL/PCL. Definitely a deep deep knee bruise/contusion at the very least. Direct knee to knee contact. Burger had no angle and should have peeled off much earlier…or been called off by Mendick and/or Haseley.

Robert actually should be benched…saw the replay, no clue why he was admiring a flare single that was totally misplayed in left instead of busting it out of the box. Arguably could have been on third with the throw through to the plate. Benched even if it means Leury in CF one game. Josh Harrison scored all the way from first on the play…Robert ends up on first. And he was not injured coming out of the box…he was just posted up watching the ball drop in front of Gurriel, who had a pretty terrible defensive series.

Great piece…incredibly thoughtful insights.

Well, except for Brian Ball and Allen Thomas, lol. We even screwed that up, or his son would be our starting OF. Of course he might not have survived our minor league system/coaching 2-3 years ago.

The LEGO Titanic is more indestructible than the Sox.

Jays kill sliders/cutters, taking away a go to option this year, especially against lefties…and the once pretty decent curveball long dead and buried with the over the top mechanics junked. Now he throws from his ear like an NFL QB. Can’t just go FB/CH when you’re losing your speed differential on those two with FB falling to 91-92 range…well off previous mid 90’s. No weather excuses for the diminished stuff, either.

Thomas just hit homer #6, fwiw. Hasn’t been up that long. But his acquisition cost would be bigger than Ketel Marte.

How is the entire training and strength & conditioning staff employed???

It can’t be the groin issue again with Robert, can it?

He’s thinking about his own hip…MASH unit.

At least we made them get up Romano…

Mazya almost got killt. Hit him right on the hip. Swatch destroyed.

Hauled to the tow lot for double parking?

If Robert is actually hurt again in this weather I give up…

Quite a bit. I wanted to say Emilio Bonifacio. First Hahn contract a bad omen.

No update yet on Robert. What did he do?

Jeff Keppinger? Herrera? Erwin Santana?

VV has got to be next in…with all his outfield experience. Might be our best LFer. Definitely best LF arm. Mayza again for non save situation in 9th. Romano getting antsy.

Haseley…what do you know? Our new RFer, lol.

Except Garcia is now the leadoff hitter.

Should have tried to bunt his way on so Vaughn could get a shot at least…

Sigh. Sox made it a game…but now no Anderson/Robert.

Medical staff didn’t clear Anderson today?

Why no Anderson?

You have to let Anderson hit for Leury…
