We can’t catch a break with the injuries this year. You know it’s bad when your own player hits a line drive in the dugout and it happens to hit a teammate.
Giolito and Lynn are only going to miss one start. Two maximum but that’s it. Their injuries don’t seem very serious. Even Giolito has been progressing. Rodon on the other hand is a little concerning since he’s been on the injured list already.
Would you rather they rest now and are 100 percent healthy in the playoffs versus they play through what they are going through right now and they get injured in the playoffs? You can’t guarantee they will not get injured in the playoffs either.
I bet if some of them wanted to play through the injuries right now, some of them would. They are resting them right now on purpose and being cautious. I would rather they be 100 percent healthy for the playoffs.
So let me get this straight, we go .500 against winning teams during that stretch in August, win 2 out of 3 against the Cubs, sweep the Pirates but lose 2 out of 3 against KC and the sky is apparently still falling for some posters. ?
What are they waiting for on Engel? They keep saying that he’s going to rehab soon but they keep delaying it. It’s like they are timing it for the postseason or something.
That’s why we keep sending him down to the minors but for some reason we can’t keep him down there or we don’t DFA him. I have no idea why we released Crick. He couldn’t have been much worse.
