The Scherzer vigil

[Frayed Knot]

Gonna be a lot of pins and needles -- and a whole Lotta speculation -- waiting on official news.

He was sleepy. He wanted to watch the Rangers game. He's fine. Everything will be fine.

[Edgy MD]

Stomach cramps. Every time he stretched his core during his windup, it hurt like hell, and the flinches were affecting how he was finishing his pitches, and he was afraid he was gonna hit somebody.



He'll get prescribed fluids and be 100% tomorrow. I'm totally right about this.

[Frayed Knot]

I know that he is merely speculating just like the rest of us ... but I'd feel a whole lot better about this whole thing if Gary didn't sound like he was planning Scherzer's funeral.

[Edgy MD]

Sez the guy who started a thread called "The Scherzer vigil."

[TransMonk]

And everyone in the dugout didn't look as if they were attending that funeral.

[Lefty Specialist]

Left side discomfort? That could be anything.....

[Edgy MD]

Left-side discomfort = impacted stool.



I'm so very right about this.

[Frayed Knot]

The good thing about "discomfort on his left side" is that neither the words 'shoulder' or 'elbow' are present.

[kcmets]

There it is.

[ashie62]

Crap.

[ashie62]

Time to check the odds on a Dom trade perhaps.

[seawolf17]

FRIG.

[G-Fafif]

Six to eight weeks typical timeline. Moderate to high-grade oblique strain. Official word.

[TransMonk]

Fuck!

If the ol' double the prognosis formula works here, that means see ya next season.

[seawolf17]

EVERYTHING SUCKS NOW

[Lefty Specialist]

They need to get a starter, stat. JD or Dom are on the block.



Good thing they didn't trade for Paddock from SD as he's going to get TJ surgery.

Did the Mets ever get to the point where they saw his medicals? maybe the medical staff is smarter now. Maybe not signing Kumar Rocker will prove wise too.

[MFS62]

I'd give him part of one of my lats if they thought it would help.

Later

[ashie62]

You have to move forward as if Max and Jake are not coming back. It will take more than Dom or JD to get a solid quality arm. Might have to trade a wunderkind prospect to get one

[Edgy MD]

I think that there's a good chance that they have a solid quality arm.

I enjoy how confidently wrong you were on this. It's pleasing to me as the smallest of consolations for the actual news we got.
