Lindor’s Calf

[Centerfield]

No timetable yet. But Mendy says he’ll be down for “quite a bit”. It’s worse than Soto. 

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ugh. I was hoping to hear that it wasn't as bad as Soto's.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

This will end up being a lost season for him, I fear. 

[Gwreck]

Well, it’s make or break time for Ronny Mauricio now.  He’s the only shortstop on the roster, so look like a long extended chance to prove himself.

[metirish]

Well this really sucks, maybe playing SS will get Bo going

I doubt Bo will be playing much shortstop.

[metirish]

Why so?

[The Hot Corner]

His range is better suited to play third base than at shortstop.  His arm is not as strong as most shortstops (which can also be a problem at third base).

[Radar]

This is the last thing we needed. I think division no chance but hoping playoffs. The way things are going who knows.

[Edgy MD]

I imagine they will both see some time until performance reveals the path.

With Jorge Polanco, this has already been a three-calf situation.

I blame this family in County Mayo, Ireland, who are getting press after welcoming a rare triple-calf birth from their cow.

[Edgy MD]

I suspect he strained his calf initially on that leaping grab of a line drive earlier in the game (the inning before?), but he tried to ignore it and aggravated it rounding the bases.

[ashie62]

I would like to eat his calf with a fine Chianti 

[Frayed Knot]

Chances now for both Mauricio and Vientos to show what they can or can't do.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

These guys are professional athletes whose jobs require them to jump and run and yet they cannot run and jump without injuring themselves. Seems abundantly clear these guys are overtraining.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I remember thinking the same thing more than 30 years ago when Vince Coleman kept pulling muscles every time he moved. 

[metirish]

Kiner used to complain about that a lot , lifting weights etc , you can't pull fat he would say

[Centerfield]

Why won’t the Mets tell us what grade of strain?

I saw that in a pregame interview Lindor demurred on the question.  Was there something post-game about it in which Stearns or Mendoza declined to give more information?
