Supposedly Ventura announced in the post game that PK has a mild concussion. If they need to, Sox can put him on the 7 day concussion list. Kenny, get us another bat!

How did he get a concussion?

Dyson accidentally made contact to his face on a grounder last night. I'm sure greg will suggest a lie detector test for Dyson.

Don't worry. We've got Hudson, Olmeda and Danks on the bench. We'll be fine!

How many AL teams have great benches? If the Sox come up short, it won't be because of a weak bench.

They might not have great benches, but the Sox bench has been almost worse than you can imagine. Our non-core players of ADA, Youk, Beckham, Rios, Dunn, Konerko, AJ, Morel, Ramirez and Viciedo are:

 

86 for 439 (.196) with 3 home runs

 

With Youk saying he's had lingering soreness in his knee, it's imperative they get someone that can back him up if needed.

Makes the era of Timo Perez and Pablo Ozuna look like a HOF caliber bench.

Not even I can get worked up over a weak bench at this point. Anybody out there on waivers?

That weak bench got us Youk, Liriano, and Myers.

Yes, but you can't get complacent with an awful bench with the hope you won't have to use the guys often. The time is now to get someone useful off of waivers in case an injury takes place after August ends. Youk seems like he's going to have to be benched at least once a week. If they do DL PK, I wonder if they call up Wise or CoJack?

Some more information on the injury. Might be best to put him on the 7 day DL and get him back next Wednesday. Hope there are no lingering issues.

Seriously? It didn't even look like Dyson hit him. How'd he get a concussion from THAT???

wow,that is so awful. i cant imagine theres a worse bench

Not only does Bruce Chen and Guthrie shut us down for 3 runs in 18 innings, these scumbag Royals knock our best player out of the game. It seems like every year the Sox choose some miserable team to get owned by. The past few years it has been KC or Baltimore. What is the explanation? Coincidence, dumb luck, ? I don't know but it always hurts us in the division. What makes it worse is that we just took 2 of 3 from the angels and swept Texas and took 2 of 3

earlier in the season. Guess I'm just venting.

Does the title of this thread scare the crap out of anyone else? Just because they put "mild" in front of concussion doesn't mean it's definitely going to go away any time soon.

We did recently sign Dwayne Wise-who has played most of year in majors

I would normally say "NEVER FORGET!"

 

 

but after a concussion, he will probably forget

Elbow while running = more force than it looks like.

 

Also worth wondering if PK14 has ever had a concussion before. Once you've had one, the others get a lot easier to get.

He was a catcher for a good chunk of his life. I'd say it is pretty probable he has had them in the past.

Has Jarrod Dyson now replaced Jeff Samardzija at the top of greg's "must bean him in the face" list?

wow,that is so awful. i cant imagine theres a worse bench

I can, they could be 85-439. Oh, the humanity!!!

Danks is actually not the guy I'd be most concerned with upgrading anyway. Him and Flowers are fine, IMO, for the bench.

 

It is Olmedo and Hudson that really need replacing. Need a professional utility IF, if one is available. One who can defend at least 2 IF positions well (Hudson can only really field 1 well), has some speed for PR duties, and maybe can hit .250.
