Hurts So Mets — Injuries in 2021

[G-Fafif]

Jose Martinez won't be around for a while.

[Edgy MD]

You said goodbye too soon, Tim Tebow.

[Benjamin Grimm]

There goes my Dark Horse Met vote.

Martinez is hurt b/c he flubbed a grounder, stumbled to his left, and the disinterested, overpaid, umpire who was flat-footed and not watching the game, failed to move. Robot umps/lasers at every position, please.

[Fman99]

Fucking umps.

[A Boy Named Seo]

That maybe explains the Mikel Franco interest, I guess? And 4 months for a meniscus? Tough blow, Jose.

[Lefty Specialist]

Suck it up, buttercup. I tore my meniscus in 2011 and I was able to watch baseball the very next day.

I'm pretty sure Johan through his 2-0 complete game shutout against the Marlins (2008, game 161) on a torn MCL as well.



What a bunch of babies these current players are.

[MFS62]

What ever happened to "just rub some tobacco juice on it and get out there and play?

But now that I think of it, what ever happened to tobacco juice in baseball?

Is it outlawed formally?

You hear “dead arm” and you're told it's nothing.

You here “sore arm” and you're told we'll see.



Not a sore arm here, per se, but soreness is in play.

[TransMonk]

Here we go. Hopefully, they don't keep saying "next week" for months.

Please no Cookie cutting.

[smg58]

You always get nervous when it's the elbow.

[LWFS]

"Sore arm" is one thing. "Sore elbow" is quite another.



Especially when accompanied by numerous notes and Tweets from beat reporters treating his missing Opening Day as a fait accompli.

[Benjamin Grimm]

So this may resolve the competition between Peterson and Lucchesi. They both win, unless surpassed by Yamamoto?

[Edgy MD]

I think that "competition" was Lucco's to lose. But yeah, if this injury is as some are reporting, it's Peterson who gets his head above water.



Others besides Moto vying to get into that discussion include Mike Montgomery, Jerad Eickhoff, Corey Oswalt, Harol Gonzalez, and Yennsy Diaz.

[G-Fafif]

Carrasco's elbow is better...but his right hamstring, initially reported as strained, is apparently torn. That's six to eight weeks at least.

[Edgy MD]

Torn is ... bad.

[LWFS]

I feel like Carrasco had a REALLY unbreakable preexisting appointment or something during that first week or two of the season. If so... I admire his determination.

But partially torn is better, and that is what his reportedly is.

And that is painful experience talking.

"Quietly"--were they supposed to call a press conference? Maybe they'd cry on camera? A tweet with Sad Mr. Met?



Hell of a job, BVW!

Good call. I suspect we've seen the last of Mr. Betances.

Sounds like recovery hot air to me.

What's next, blowing smoke up the player's arse?
