From USA Today article earlier this week:I read an article about Judge and the Astros controversy, and he didn’t mention kids at all. His disdain was that the Astros did not earn the title. BTW, the funniest quote regarding the Astros that I read came from Gleyber who used him cheating Severino in a video game as an analogy to explain why he believes the Astros also cheated in 2018 and 2019.
I wasn’t contradicting your postings in any way, and I guess I should have made that clear. My point was that Judge said a lot more across other articles.From USA Today article earlier this week:
“All I ever heard about on TV was baseball and sign-stealing,’’ Judge said. “Cheating. Cheating. Cheating. I grew up a fan of baseball, I don’t want to see that. I don’t want little kids looking up to us and treating us like we’re super-humans. 'Daddy, why is so-and-so cheating? What’s up with that?’ That was the toughest thing for me, just all of the talk about cheating man, and destroying the great reputation this great game has.’’
No problem. Just trying to have a discussion and all points people make here are valid.I wasn’t contradicting your postings in any way, and I guess I should have made that clear. My point was that Judge said a lot more across other articles.
Sony and the Playstation Network need to levy a hefty fine/suspension on Gleyber. That much is obvious at this point. If he's earned any virtual pieces of metal or other in-game achievements they need to be annulled as well or even retroactively awarded to Severino.I read an article about Judge and the Astros controversy, and he didn’t mention kids at all.

sigh...where have we heard this before ? This is the 3rd year ...I heard Cashman talking about this just now on the radio, he didn't seem concerned that it was anything too serious. He said Judge is going through a bunch of tests so they can try to pin it down, but the guess is that it is just something muscular/short-term.

An outfield dive in September? Come on. You mean to tell me it didn't affect him in the postseason or in offseason training?
Guys try to play through things all the time, Voit talked this week about how much more damage he did to his core by playing through it last season.An outfield dive in September? Come on. You mean to tell me it didn't affect him in the postseason or in offseason training?
He wasn't playing in the offseason though. How does it not hurt lifting, swinging in the cage, etc and he doesn't say anything?Guys try to play through things all the time, Voit talked this week about how much more damage he did to his core by playing through it last season.
It's pretty disturbing that all of Paxton, Severino and Judge had injuries late last season and didn't really get diagnosed until 4-5 months later, though.
The medical tests had real trouble finding the problem also, so who knows. It sucks they didn't diagnose it 4-5 months ago though, certainly.He wasn't playing in the offseason though. How does it not hurt lifting, swinging in the cage, etc and he doesn't say anything?
He most likely trained as he normally would and made it worse.Huh. I thought stress fractures generally heal with time and reduced activity. If it didn't heal between September and now (maybe because of normal movement/breathing) can it heal at all without surgery?
I'm more worried than ever.
Judge told The Athletic in an article published this afternoon that if he knew last October he had a rib fracture, he would have cut back on his off-season workouts.Huh.

Mick was plenty healthy (considering the amount of nightlife and alcohol Billy and the boys introduced him to...) until he caught his foot in that damn drain....from then on it was never the same. If only there had been Dr. Andrews and today's skills to work on him back then....Injuries were never this frequent in the old days, except for guys with muscles, like The Mick and Coup’s hero, Moose Skowron.
Pause.
Okay, Boomer!
Ellsbury had a rib fracture (and re-fracture) with the Sox which seemingly took forever to heal. Ribs are tricky.Judge told The Athletic in an article published this afternoon that if he knew last October he had a rib fracture, he would have cut back on his off-season workouts.
I will always think of Ellsbury in a Red Sox uniform. Where did he end up after leaving Boston?Ellsbury had a rib fracture (and re-fracture) with the Sox which seemingly took forever to heal. Ribs are tricky.
If you need some OF depth, he's probably healed now and a FA.
He was beloved in Boston, giving free tacos to a starving city. But then he fell off the face of the earth. Just disappeared. There was a story that he hit the lottery and retired.I will always think of Ellsbury in a Red Sox uniform. Where did he end up after leaving Boston?
I heard he parachuted out of a plane with a bag of money.He was beloved in Boston, giving free tacos to a starving city. But then he fell off the face of the earth. Just disappeared. There was a story that he hit the lottery and retired.
Not surprising. Some time ago he was among the league's best at stealing.I heard he parachuted out of a plane with a bag of money.
He stole the Yankees blind. But he’s not the first to collect money for not playing due to injury.Not surprising. Some time ago he was among the league's best at stealing.
FWIW:Strange injury. If it really is from a dive in September, it's not really a "stress fracture". Stress fracture by definition is an overuse injury, not related to a single traumatic event.
Perhaps a fracture that never healed properly, though it sounds like the link to the September is pretty soft.
