From USA Today article earlier this week:
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.
No problem. Just trying to have a discussion and all points people make here are valid.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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....
Ellsbury had a rib fracture (and re-fracture) with the Sox which seemingly took forever to heal. Ribs are tricky.
I will always think of Ellsbury in a Red Sox uniform. Where did he end up after leaving Boston?
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.
He stole the Yankees blind. But he’s not the first to collect money for not playing due to injury.
Judge worked out hard in the off-season. Maybe that’s how the stress fracture developed from the initial injury.
Could be, it's all sort of semantics anyway. Stress fractures are the result of abnormal stress put on a normal bone, so if he had an injury and then repeated stress on an abnormal bone resulted in a true fracture to develop, that's not really a stress fracture (Normal stress placed on an abnormal bone is an insufficiency fracture). Maybe he works out so hard it's a combo, abnormal stress and abnormal bone.
