Brandon Nimmo Leg Thread of Much Concern

[A Boy Named Seo]

Baseball player gets injured playing baseball. At least he wasn't carted off? Yay, 2023.

[MFS62]

Oh Fuck!

Time to blame the new bases.

He's holding the back of the leg. Hope its just a cramp and not a hammy..

Later

[metirish]

Damn

Nah, Nimms deserves attention in three threads tonight.



At first I thought he popped a hammy but later seemed lower.

[kcmets]

Right ankle soreness, per the booth.

[Edgy MD]

A non-contact slide.

[Fman99]

He dinged his ankle. I worry not.

[Edgy MD]

I tentatively agree. But I bet we don't see any steal attempts from the guy for a while.

Although he did indicate during a dugout interview last week that he may look to be more aggressive with SB attempts this season (although

I confess I forget how strongly he worded it as I was busy gazing at whats-her-name's boobies at the time).

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I was expecting as much. Just now, he has whatever lingering effects there are from this ... bone bruise? ... to proffer in response to any inquiries anyone might make going forward.



And if that's the way he's going to slide, it's probably just as well.

[Frayed Knot]

For a guy who's a good athlete, he can look more than a bit ungraceful at times.

Not Hunter Pence level ungraceful, but not exactly Barishnikov either.

[Edgy MD]

Get Collin Cowgill on the line, stat!

[kcmets]

Low grade, week to week, able to resume baseball activities by 5/15...

[whippoorwill]

We'll see him again n July

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This season sucks so far

[whippoorwill]

Seriously what is wrong with these guys? It used to be a point of pride to play hurt.





They're so delicate it's pathetic.

[Frayed Knot]

There's a difference between 'hurt' and 'injured', and it's important to distinguish between the two.

[whippoorwill]

Certainly.



But a guy can easily hurt himself jumping up and down but injure himself? (Another fellow we know)



I'm just perplexed how they are so delicate. They are human, yes, and human bodies are easily injured but a trained athlete?



Though I'll admit I don't know what happened with nimmo so I probably really shouldn't be commenting

[Edgy MD]

Again, though, I'm not sure that Diaz hurt himself jumping up and down. It was the jumping that made it clear that he was hurt, but he looked off before that to me.

I kinda thought this too. I was too busy making bunny hop jokes but

I also meant to agree with you the other day.

[whippoorwill]

What I'm trying to say is a pro athlete shouldn't hurt his knee hopping if he's in proper shape

[smg58]

I once threw my back out picking up something to put in the trash. Now granted I meet nobody's standard of "proper shape," but it wasn't so much the mundane act as it was the accumulation of stresses that needed one more tiny trigger. I think a lot of athletic injuries (probably more so to pitchers than any other type of pro athlete) fall in the category where it's not one impact or event, but a buildup of stresses that just goes pop in a seemingly innocuous place. I think Edgy is right that Diaz's body language implied that he knew something wasn't right. But I guess he thought there was no harm in joining the celebration.

[G-Fafif]

Brandon believes he'll be ready for Opening Day. At lest his disposition isn't week to week.

[Edgy MD]

I'm getting the impression the brass don't see it the same way.

[G-Fafif]

[kcmets]

Phwam!

[whippoorwill]

A for effort.

I hope he's right

[metirish]

If anyone can do this it's Nimmo , amazing

[Edgy MD]

Of course, if anybody can over-do this, it's Nimmo, so I'm still exercising caution.
