Being upset is one thing and totally understandable… hell, yesterday I vented that Dubon is making too much money relative to the other players making money that are not playing, and was rightly called out on it. It’s asinine to blame the front office that their post all-star pitching rotation is the reason for this series. Even more asinine to blame solely the manager for said pitching decisions that are usually determined with a ton of input (pitching coaches, GM’s, the players themselves, etc.). I also don’t recall any of your posts… and happy to go back to letting all the loud noises and GARM-ification continue unfettered… but you do whatever you need to do as well.
Yet 4 days ago, we were better than the Diamondbacks, who are better than the As. Maybe it's just how baseball works.
I realize there are jackasses in here and your post was likely directed towards that but frankly even they have a right to be upset after this series. People get emotional. If sports didn’t elicit an emotional response from me then I wouldn’t waste my time watching.
When people are b****ing and moaning even when the team is performing well. Which happens all the ****ing time on here. Or, you could just put those people on ignore and move on with your life and let them fan how they want.
NO ****! That’s why any of us are here on a Sunday evening, posting on a message board. Everybody can be upset! Like I said, venting happens. But asinine statements can also be called out, no? Otherwise they may keep happening and this place becomes more and more of a cesspool of sorts of such statements that are either flat out incorrect or just lunacy…. And then that becomes the “conversation” or discourse in a section of the BBS that sways away from GARMing. (It took years for GARMing to become its own term with everybody understanding what the connotation is…. It sucks!)
Agreed on the accuracy/clarityh. Strains are versions of tears too…. And they’ve been rightly called out by every soft media presence in this city for such handling (which led to them over-explaining the Yordan injury pathway/eval/timeline/etc.). They do release the daily updates with more info now and there’s decent enough info there, but you have to sift through it. When I saw Meyers is not doing a single damn thing more than a month from the injury (and knowing how some injuries are just calf’s and some are closer to the Achilles tendon integrity), I’m just not expecting anybody to put him in a position where he’s trying to run full speed within 3 months of the injury…. Maybe if he starts some activity in late September there’s a possibility depending on where this team is as far as the tournament goes. As far as Paredes goes, it’s the hamstring (not the calf) and nobody has minced words as far as the severity goes. They’ve all said from day one it was far worse than the other leg he had earlier in the year…. And now that inflammation is subsiding (and imaging can be more revealing), they’re going to be far more accurate at the exact severity of things.
Isn't a "high ankle sprain" just a euphemism for "you ****ed up that muscle between your calf and achilles?"
True, but I think you would agree the Stros aren't winning crap with this AAA lineup and trades need to be made to bolster the lineup even if Pena/Alvarez make it back?
I believe he's a Met now, so somewhere, sometime on the charter flight Keith Hernandez will try to snort coke off his dick
