AL East...Yankees and Red Sox tied for last place. Crazy but with the injuries NY has suffered I can see it and I have a feeling Boston might want to get used to the idea of finishing dead last two years in a row.

Seeing some pretty good deals on tickets to tonight and tomorrow's games. Just a heads up.
MLB.com's current power rankings has the Astros at 6. In the top 5 are:
1 Tampa (won 2 of 3)
2. Atlanta (swept them)
3. Toronto (won 2 of 3)
4. Brewers
5. Orioles
We really do play better vs good teams

Tyler Bauer already causing problems

Yeah not a chronic UCL sprain that it is most likely.
What do you think they should call it?Mathguy64 said:
I love how they still call it "low grade forearm strain"
I guess I had assumed he had vetted the celebration with the team / management and they were going to market it...whoopsFarmer1906 said:

Looks like JV will be making his debut on Thursday.
You know, all things considered... If you would have told me in March we would be above .500 through April without Altuve, LMJ and Brantley and with Yordan out for the entire Tampa series, I would have absolutely taken it.
There's definitely some kinks that need to be worked out, but we're in a good spot.

Fragile AF
Forearm strain, to me, indicates muscle soreness. It could be tendon or ligament, though, I guess?
Here is how Lance described it:
"Strained forearm muscle, very low grade. They hesitate to even call it a strain,"
"My UCL is good, just a small muscle strain"
"Strained forearm muscle, very low grade. They hesitate to even call it a strain,"
"My UCL is good, just a small muscle strain"
Rarely the actual muscles itself. Usually the tendon itself which has a poor blood supply. Even a low grade is considered a strain. But I'm not convinced that this is a tendon issue considering his history.
This does not sound like something that should take months to heal, but I'm - obviously - not a doctor.Farmer1906 said:

Apparently April was the worst month of Abreu's entire career, as per The Athletic
Think the long recovery has more to do with the timing rather than the injury.
It was early in ST so he didn't get the proper ramp up. So now he had to recover and go through that process.
For a guy with his injury history I think that's about right.

he did. the Baystars team/social media was actively promoting him doing the sword celebration and turning it into a coordinated fan celebration before he ever even pitched a game for them.gougler08 said:I guess I had assumed he had vetted the celebration with the team / management and they were going to market it...whoopsFarmer1906 said:

I shared a tweet showing him doing that a week or two ago and someone responded with "That's why he's over there, they love that stuff." I didn't believe that was the case because the Japanese take sportsmanship pretty serious.Farmer1906 said:

Turns out his teammates don't like it either.
I actually went back and watched probably 15-20 of Abreu's ABs and I feel better about him long term. It's definitely a mechanical issue. He's opening up a bit too much and seems to be "in between" pitches so his timing is off. Those types of things are so difficult to fix during the season, but I do think he figures it out soon and starts raking.
So if the team ok'd it, what's the problem with the teammate?AustinCountyAg said:he did. the Baystars team/social media was actively promoting him doing the sword celebration and turning it into a coordinated fan celebration before he ever even pitched a game for them.gougler08 said:I guess I had assumed he had vetted the celebration with the team / management and they were going to market it...whoopsFarmer1906 said:

Oh, random thought: I just watched the highlights from yesterday. Someone made a comment about how they aren't a fan of how infielders are taught to field ground balls after Bregman's ole. I can't imagine anyone teaches kids to field like that.
I'm sure Bregs thought he had it and was gonna make a flashy highlight play (which he is known for) and simply whiffed on the ball.
Yep. Not to mention that fielding that far to your left actually puts you in a worse position to throw the runner out as well. Fielding is not just about the current action but also how it transitions smoothly to the next action.redline248 said:

Never seen that "technique" taught.

No clue. I'm not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.
This team is not forthcoming in their injury info. Ever.
That's their prerogative. They don't have to. Unlike the NFL that requires teams be more honest on things like injury lists due to all the betting.
Fanatics is having a big sale until 11 pm tonight if anyone is looking to get some more gear
Thanks
I wouldn't. Those discussions are the only thing constantly beat like a dead horse
I have something to say and I hate that I am saying it...I think Chandler is doing a good job at the Athletic.
It's almost as if he's actually expected to work there or something and it woke him up.

The Astros have now played 28 games.
Yainer Diaz has 28 ABs
Yainer Diaz has 28 ABs
