You guys taking a Bonda tweet seriously?

It was a broken shin. Astros front office is incompetent when it comes to injuries
General curiosity but why do people feel this about the front office? I mean outside of just general public just being pissed because they feel entitled to know what the injury is….but it's not like they've made the recovery time longer or hampered is progress…
Here's a few examples of them either lying for no reason or just being terrible at their jobs.
- Yuli "slept on a pillow wrong" and was out 4 weeks in 2021
- Brantley had sore leg from Arlington turf. Day to day diagnosis and missed more than 3 weeks in 2021
- Verlander also slept weird and had sore neck. He's been out over a month
Can you provide any actual evidence that anything they said was "lying for no reason or just being terrible at their jobs"?

editing this... no sense cluttering the thread with the same opinions.
Great game last night. Was watching with Mrs. Marvin and our nephew. What a game by HB! Keep it rolling today for the first place Houston Astros!

The lying for no reason gets covered pretty easily with the Yuli slept on a pillow wrong and is "day to day" but then missed almost a month.
Unless his pillow was made of bricks I don't think that's entirely possible
I'll be at Fenway +4 on Aug 10. We went last yr and had a blast. It was the Altuve hit for the cycle game.

I'm expecting the same result, so do your job!
I could not care less if they lie to the fans.
I suggest all of you stop caring if they are lying to you or not.
You don't mind when they lie about not trading for pitching at the deadline, and then they do it.

We will be at the Friday and Saturday games. Sitting in right field game 1 and behind home for the second.
I'll do the same things as I did last yr… drink too
Much beer and playfully taunt the Red Sox faithful. Can't promise the same results.
That was my first time to Fenway. Fans were super nice.
Not at all what I was expecting. RS fans >>> Yankees fans.

Not sure where we are sitting just yet but me +3 will be at Fenway Friday-Sunday
Deciding between Fenway and Camden for a solo weekend trip personally.

Went to Camden in 2022 and it's a really cool park. Not sure about things to do in Baltimore though… I was staying in DC with family
Tough choice. Both ballparks are fantastic. Fenway had the tradition and nostalgia but Camden is one of the top tier parks today. Been several times and love the crab dip fries!
Agree that Fenway is sheer nostalgia. It's not a great park to watch a baseball game.
We'll be field box 3b side row 6. Looking straight on at the mound.
Was not my experience. Seats were excellent and closer to the field than most parks. Good view
Of everything except lf corner.

Thank goodness it was a break and not discomfort. He would have missed the while season
100 wins in the Minor Leagues?

It hasn't happened since 1992, but it's well within the realm of possibility for two Triple-A teams this year.

I wouldn't mind either on our staff.
There is less than 0% chance of getting Eovaldi from Arlington. The price would be insanely high. The optics on their end would be horrid and they would need a huge return to mask it.
I absolutely agree. I still think we need to add a veteran arm. I'm leaning more towards Anderson tho. I wonder what it's going to cost.
Agreed. Don't look at South OKC players. They'd never make a deal that works for us.
Apollo keeping receipts. I love it.

Regarding Tucker's shin bruise, I can actually relate to how long a "bruise" can take to heal.
When I was in my teens playing soccer, another player kicked me so hard across the shin my shinguard shattered. My leg didn't break because I jumped in the air as he came in. Yes, he got a res card at least.
Went to the doctor for X-rays, etc as in incredible pain on top of the swelling. Doctor said it was just a "bruise", but would take several months to heal. He told me a break would have been a quicker recovery time.
So it's quite possible it's something similar as bad bruises can take a while.

I don't want to do anything to help the rangers. Also he has a pretty rich injury history, and he's due for another one, especially with how they rode him hard last year. It's definitely a high rush high reward proposition for whoever gets him

I dont think I could stomach hearing him grunt like a women's tennis player all year.
How soon do we forget Greinke.

Camden is amazing, but Fenway is the Mecca of American sports... and Boston is 1000x better as a city
I am quite familiar with Boston but have never been to Baltimore, which is another consideration.

If you do go to Camden… I recommend staying in DC. It's a short train ride (45 mins) and you can fill a 3 day itinerary easily
