    Your personal experience still doesn't excuse you from putting all the blame on the Astros training staff, using all sorts of hindsight qualifiers.

    Correa felt well enough, performed well enough, and gave no indications to be shut down. If training staffs could anticipate this sort of thing, there would never be any sort of overuse injury ever.

    If you "knew" he had this after the jammed thumb 7/4, I must have missed your endless posts in the blue jays series thread.

    I didn't. It also isn't my job to protect multi million dollar athletes.

    Its safe at times to assume that someone did their due diligence. I just have a hard time believing they did on this one.

    Yes, you did.

    In fact, you still are.

    Again, your hindsight anecdotal b****ing is truly grating. If you really want to continue to blame the training staff for this, it's complete revisionism.

    Unfortunate news for the team. Sad for Correa who I'm sure just wants to be out there so bad. However, we have the depth to absolutely cover this. I'm not worried about the Astros. Let Correa heal completely; his team will pick up the slack.

    Being back is great but he will have about 5 weeks to get back into form before the playoffs start .. this is a huge blow, but thankfully they have built a nice cushion

    Just hope he's ready for the playoffs... and that doesn't mean still working the rust off.

    @tmacfor35 we get it, you called the injury. Good for you.

    I once had a threesome with 2 hispanic women on my birthday. I guess that makes me an expert on the subject.

    More positive news is Trout has looked good since he came back from the same injury.

    A typical Trout year? He's a career .295 hitter with a (career) .924 OPS. I understand what you're getting at, but the truth is, he's closer to the hitter he's always been now than he was prior to his thumb injury.

    Not sure where you got those numbers, but that's not right. He's a career 0.308 hitter with a 0.974 OPS. He's been above your OPS number every year of his career outside of his failed callup in 2011. But you're certainly right that's not 1.203 OPS dude - that would be insane.

    2015 - .299 AVG | .991 OPS

    Again, not sure what you're looking at, but that's not his career averages, nor what that site shows. The yearly numbers are right. Just look at the annual numbers and you'll see the career numbers can't be right. His 2011 was a tiny number of at bats, and all his other years were substantially better than the 0.924.

    Those ARE his career averages prior to the 50 games he's played this season. Add the numbers up and divide by 6. Pretty straight forward...

    Really sucks, but he should be back with a few weeks to get back into form.

    .306 BA, 963 OPS prior to this season, it took 5 second to figure that out.

    You don't just "divide by 6".

    Uhhh WTF? You don't add numbers and divide by 6 to get career averages... ever. But especially not when one of those seasons consists of 120 at bats while the others consist of 600+.

    Why not look at the site you frequent under the line "Career Averages"? You'll find very different numbers.
