Hurts So Mets — Injuries in 2021

[dinosaur jesus]

Thirty overall. So it's possible no one has ever had this many at once.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, that's the thing. So many at once, and many of them prominent players. It's not like we have 17 Delin Betanceses on the IL.

[Edgy MD]

Well, I'm pretty sure we have at least two or three Dellin Betanceses on the list right now.



But if you have 17 DL'd players, it's certainly unlikely that they'd all be role players. Strange that there have been no catchers among them, though. (Tomás Nido immediately plunges his hand into batter[y] acid.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I hear that "batter acid" makes for some pretty tangy pancakes.

Thor starting a rehab game for St. Lucie tonight.



Later

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm thinking the Mets should offer the Rockies $20 million for Trevor Story. (I wish his parents had named him "Troy".) You have to think that the Rockies would rather have the cash than the player. Story could play third base for the rest of the season. Davis can go into the heavily depleted outfield when he returns. Bowie Kuhn wouldn't approve of this idea, but he's dead at the present time.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

We are headed to St Lucie to see Thor pitching tonight.

We need Marshmallowmilkshake to provide an update!

[bmfc1]

PLEASE STOP ALREADY!

[Frayed Knot]

I don't remember 'Neck bone connected to the hand bone' being part of the song.

Not good. Got slower as inning progressed.



BTW, St.Lucie is horribly run. No programs or scoreboard. None of the people working here knows anything about anything - “Beats me. I just watch the elevator.” Gift store doesn't have the passport stamp.



The renovations are nice.

[ashie62]

Neither Conforto McNeil Nimmo & J.D. Davis are expected back anytime soon.



That's half of the offense.

[Benjamin Grimm]

See above. Buy Trevor Story from the Rockies!

[bmfc1]

Thor will not throw for another six weeks (from Amazin' Avenue):

[bLOCKQUOTE]According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, the starting pitcher has been shut down for at least six weeks after his right elbow was found to have some inflammation. With that break and the time it would take for him to complete another rehab assignment, it is now clear that we will not see Syndergaard pitching in the majors until August at the earliest.[/bLOCKQUOTE]

He is a FA after this season so it is possible that he has thrown his last pitch as a Met... or, to be positive, that he'll be a September and post-season asset.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Six weeks plus a 30-day rehab would put us in early August. So that's probably the best case.

[Frayed Knot]

iow, like Matz and Wheeler before him, Syndergaard is on, or at least much closer to, the two year track for TJS recovery rather than one year.

[Edgy MD]

Szapucki also.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My prediction, at the moment anyway, is that Noah accepts a QO this winter.

It'd make sense for him to build a little value, especially if he sees little or no action this year (which is looking more and more likely).

[Edgy MD]

So, the guy you want to lock up, suddenly, isn't Syndergaard, and it's not Conforto.



It's ... Stroman!



More seriously, the 2021–2022 free agent class, at this moment, looks pretty incredible.

[G-Fafif]

Could it be...good news?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Is there a Mets injury thread? Because if there isn't, there should be.



Just when he was getting real good, Joey Lucchesi suffers a UCL tear. He'll probably need the ol' Tommy John.



See ya' in 2023.

[Centerfield]

Any word on time frame for Familia?

I'm OK with him taking a long time.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Still no update on Villar, huh?

[G-Fafif]

Stromigod.

[bmfc1]

I'm surprised that this thread isn't in triple-digits.

[Frayed Knot]

So basically on the last 48 hours it's: Lucchesi (probably forever), Gsellman, Stroman, plus maybe Villar and maybe Nido.



That's about our standard pace for '21





oe: and I forgot Familia
