MIght be he just needs another 10 days or something but it’s discouraging and you know the team isn’t going to be forthcoming about it so it’s hard to not think the worst.

Where are they not forthcoming? They said he was going to miss tonight’s game with a sore elbow. Then, after they got the MRI results they said he’d miss multiple games. They can’t tell you how many, because they don’t know.

Any of you guys ever been around athlete or managed an athlete that has had “clean up” orthopedic surgery. Those so-called loose bodies got there by some bad process: the overextension of a joint, a fragment of bone being avulsed by a ligament, etc. After you clean up the joint as best as you can, there is always the damage remaining to the articular surfaces. Even visually that it difficult to quantify accurately. Usually if the damage isn’t too severe that improves over time. Each of these cases is individual.

So JB-Deuce-DDV-Hart-I-Hart. I like it, especially against the Warriors. Deuce will stick to Steph all night, I’d think.

What did the Yankees do wrong other than not give information they didn’t have to satisfy the crackberry culture?

Have you paid attention to Aaron Judge injury updates in the last…2 years?

Thibs said OG went home for an MRI but the MRI was clean, so I guess that’s good, or at least not terrible.

Knicks and Yankees are really on a tight fight for worst team at disclosing serious injuries to their players.

I don’t know what you want these guys to do. They announce OG is having surgery to clean up some ‘loose bodies’ in his elbow. He has the surgery and has a normal recovery from the surgery. He amps up his workload and he is fine. He looks good to everyone in practices, After a game and a half, he has pain. The doctors look at his elbow and rule him good to go with post operative soreness. He’s worse after that game so they say they are giving him more than one game off. They send him home for another MRI which is ‘clean’ which I assume means no new damage or structural damage. Exactly where have they been nebulous? You can’t tell people things that you don’t know yourself. Not every injury recovery goes by the textbook.

The Gerrit Cole this is similar. He had soreness after throwing a 47 pitch simulated game. They gave him a few days off and his elbow was no better, They sent him for an MRI and got several opinions. No one saw a UCL tear or anything like that. They sent him to LA to have the super specialist look at it. He concurred no structural issue and diagnosed it as an inflamed nerve. 3-4 weeks total rest is the prescription. What did the Yankees do wrong other than not give information they didn’t have to satisfy the crackberry culture?

If we’re going to make any noise at all in the playoffs it’s going to be as scrappy, injury-riddled underdogs, which is… fine. We’re probably just too banged up to really make much of a run though.

I’d at least consider a coaching change after this year. I think load management might benefit this particular team more than the every-game-is-game-seven mentality that Thibs brings to the table.

They’re gonna be very fresh come playoff time. Pretty scary.

I don’t know about 10 years from now but today, the one thing you wouldn’t have to worry about being in a foxhole with me is standing in a puddle of urine, because I’ve been in more than a few tight spots and I haven’t wet myself yet. 10 years from now, Depends might be in play.
