    Plateaued in recovery can mean reaching the end (fully recovered) or recovered as much as he's going to (still injured). Depending on his context it sounds like the latter. Retirement announcement pending?

    Posted this in game thread by mistake:

    I didn’t like what I heard on the 790 pre game show yesterday. Brown basically said Yordan would be back before Brantley and he seemed to indicate Brantley had some kind of setback again. Ford didn’t inquire and they changed the subject but it didn’t sound good.

    Yeah, I think I've moved to the point of not expecting anything from Brantley at this point. I think he's done. Which sucks because I think the team could really use his steady presence on an offense that can be so hot or cold. But I suppose this shouldn't be a huge surprise given Uncle Mike's history with injury.

    This decision to resign...though not extremely pricey was just out of touch.

    Sucks about Brantley. I hope he's in the dugout though. Could use an extra person giving out advice if the bats are cold.

    Someone please start a “I have grown tired of Uncle Mike” thread to turn his rehab around.

    My expectations of Brantley playing this year have plateaued.

    Might be time to call it quite Mike. His body is no longer capable of playing baseball

    I told my buddies at the beginning of the season that Lance and Mike have both played their last games as Astros.
