Resuming Baseball Activities: Injuries in 2012

[Edgy MD]

That's a lot of questions. My issue: is this related to the broken back?

I wouldn't think so, so far removed from it supposedly being healed, but who knows.

Just as long as they tell us in advance when the funeral is.

ooh, it'll be a lot of fun following the media criticism of which players do and do not show up.

David's MRI was fine.

Show up for what?

[Edgy MD]

I think he meant showing up for the funeral.

Attendance counts!

[ashie62]

lol

Let me work on David's ribs.

[Edgy MD]

Supposedly, The Tejada Groin is the last straw for Terry Collins, and he has spoon-fed the media their day's story by publicly blowing a gasket.

I wonder if he privately or publicly links Tejada's groin to him reporting "late" to camp.

[Edgy MD]

Ronny C. dealing with knee tendonitis.

What page do we reach by opening day?

[Ceetar]

you didn't even mention Carrasco's knee thing.

[Edgy MD]

It exists whether I mention it or not, for I am not God.

[Ceetar]

you're not? But I slaughtered a pig for you and everything..wasted..

that's the "six pack abs" muscle. lay off the weights dude..

Sounds like 'good' news, but on the other hand an actual tear is more than tightness and perhaps means more caution. Shouldn't be much beyond OD if he doesn't make it though.

Rubin retweets some Nats writer that says that's what kept Zimmerman out.

That's exactly what Zimmerman had last year when he had surgery, missed 60 games. He tried rehab 1st.

Good info from this site:

Only real red flag i see is this line:

Failure to recover with conservative treatment often ends up being one of the best indicators for surgery.

And the big win on the Mets doctors part:

To recap, Zimmerman initially suffered a minor strain during spring training. Little more than a week into the start of the season Zimmerman severely aggravated the injury on a headfirst slide into second base.

That's sort of inane, isn't it? Sort of like failure to win your felony trial often ends up being one of the best indicators for imprisonment.

Keith went into a mini-rant the other day about the emphasis on core training and the seeming explosion in oblique injuries.
"I never did a sit-up or crunch in my entire career ... hell, I didn't even know what an oblique was!"

yeah. probably. I think it's making the assumption that if it doesn't heal, it's not that it needs more time, it's that it needs to be fixed. there was some thought that Wright had plateau'd in his recovery, which concerns me.


Keith certainly goes on and on about that. I tend to agree, but neither of us are experts on muscles.

On Zimmerman

Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, a close friend of Wright's, suffered a similar injury during spring training last year, required surgery and missed nearly two months. Wright is not that concerned at this stage, but he has yet to play in a game since the discomfort first described by the team as in the "rib-cage area" surfaced 10 days ago.

for a team that really can't afford any injuries this ST has been awful.

I will be shocked if David plays any games in April.

Wright's agent will not let David on the field anything less than 100 percent..Its almost payday.

No, Zimmerman lost 3 months because he re-injured himself during the season and required surgery.
Wright's not at that point.

Well some good work and caution on the Mets part have kept Wright from possibly reinjuring it. But I guess it's still a possibility that it doesn't heal fully without surgery. I wonder if ultrasound guided cortisone is the conservative methods Zim tried.

I had a girlfriend in college that let me tear into her rectus. She was a wild one.

Wait, what?
