    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    This would all be rather insaneifying but for the fact that most of these injuries are pretty minor and we probably won't have too many replacement SPs if Pivetta and Whitlock return in the next 2 weeks. The schedule is bizarrely stacked though, with the Guardians, and then Cubs and Giants, then...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    I saw some discussion on Twitter of other recent examples of baseball players with rib fractures putting the timeline in the 6-8 week range. Everyone is different, and same with fractures, but something like that appears to be the "internet consensus", for what that's worth. I'm sure the team...

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    I had to google it. Chapeau.

    Because two guys are out? It's baseball, lots of things can happen. Right now they are built more around speed, and it's been working OK. Offense is a lot more resilient than the starting rotation when it comes to clusters of injuries. We can generate runs still. Obviously it's not a lineup you...

    What's he supposed to say? "We are trying to acquire [insert] from [team] but until then I guess we are stuck with Dalbec"? I get that people are sensitive about all the roster constrictions but this seems like an assumption based on a public pronouncement, which isn't necessarily reality.

    WAIT! Is a fracture worse? A bunch of people on the internet saying "brutal" over and over aside... don't fractures heal in a pretty straightforward way, as opposed to soft tissue stuff??

    Grading the Umps - March/April

    Ugh, Dalbec twice. I saw the second one. Life isn't fair.

    Baseball injuries aren't maybe their top priority? Maybe if Henry invested more in the team... [ducks]

    Yeah, there's a threshold in there somewhere for number of games missed by Casas that makes you pull the trigger on an acquisition. I'm not sure what they exact number is but that's kind of what I was getting at.

    Realistically, does the team want to do a transaction to acquire a marginal guy, then pay him money, to cover a position for a short amount of time? How many more hits does Mike Ford get than Dalbec, and how much are you paying for that? If they can find a guy who is an upgrade now and would...

    LHH, defensive numbers are bleh. Might be worth a shot?

    Yes, of course, nobody is excited about his bat going forward. But with Devers and O'Neil back, I suppose we can live with it IF he's a stabilizer defensively.

    Ugh that one in the third inning was insane. TWO blown calls with men on. I'm fine with Dalbec until someone tells me Casas is out til the second half or so. Just gimme sound defense and the odd pop. You can't just beam some totally solid player into the position in April or May when the...

    Just a guess that the kind of blunt impact injury you have is of a different nature than a pulling/twisting one? But maybe healing is healing and the schedule is the same. And thank you for reminding me not to go MTBing alone quite so often.

    I feel slightly better now.
