"Strangers come and cut your heart out": Injuries in 2015

Dunno if anyone is interested internally. actually, it didn't. i'd maxed out my innings, on friday, i think. i had three starters projected for friday, and started them all in the hopes that i didn't hit the 1500 inning cap before the last one (wacha) started his game. if i'd've paid a little more attention, i might've been able to hold off until yesterday, when i also had 3 starters projected, but i didn't want to run the risk of having starters not start due to playoff rest, or other last game of the season silliness. as it stands, i only just barely snuck wacha's innings in in time.

whew! for a good long time there, i was worried that the difference between first and second place was going to come down to one player. steve fucking pearce. ho played like a house on fire until i picked him up mid-season, then promptly slumped for a good long month, looking like the scrub he'd ever been. then i drop him to make room for an up and coming shortstop, or maybe jake lamb, i forget, and suddenly he's on fire again. dick! i'm glad hte giants made the playoffs and held off pitching bumgarner last night, or i'd surely have lost hte strikeout title to muddy chickens. thanks, everybody, for a great season! are we still going to be needing a new player for next year, to assume control of the corndogs? i might know a guy who'd be interested.

so, why again should i care that a grown ass man spent a free night attending a big event in his home city, which honored a childhood sports idol of his? is he somehow obligated to park his kiester on his couch and tune in to all mets road games on SNY to help boost their ratings? will staying home to watch the game make him a somehow better pitcher next year? i mean, GKR is good, but i don't think they're that good. would it make him a better, stronger person of greater moral character to not be a yankee fan, sure. but that ship has sailed - the damage done.

"just following orders, mr met learns that his oversized fingers are not well-suited to picking pockets" -
My offense seems to be comin on of late. I'm not sure how much higher there is time for me to climb but here's hoping...! I'm worried a bit about losing the strikeout lead. I don't have many innings left...

this season seems like its going to be a real barn-burner right until the end. Quite a difference from what it looked like in july, eh? [grumble grumble] troy tulowitzki [/grumble grumble]

but, please, first start with the DH.

between 1969 and 1979, the top two teams in each league faced each other in hte world series 6 times. from 1980 until the dawn of the wild card era in 1993, a span of 14 years, it happened only twice. the mets and red sox were the last pair of teams to pull the trick. it's not like it was a regular occurrence, by any stretch of the imagination, for the top two teams to emerge from the divisional playoffs. especially not in more recent memory.
-
the 2006 WS winner with the 13th best record was pretty awful, too. too bad the wild card can't explicitly be blamed for either of those injustices. well, i guesss we could blame the wild card teams in those years for not defeating the clearly inferior division winners that ultimately won the title.
-
in 1973, the team with only the 9th best record in the majors made it all the way to the world series, taking it a full seven games. that was just awful, wasn't it?

Come on. You don't think Harvey is aware of that? universally, we all undesrtand the dangers of texting and driving, or drinking and driving. yet many of us still do it all the time. sometimes we need hte neighbor's kid to wrap himself around a tree for us to finally have what we already know to become something we understand, recognize, appreciate, and follow.

yes, you want to build him up to 100 pitches, not to 60 pitches. but you build him up to 100 pitched in 10 steps, not 6 steps to accelerate the timeline. ideally the rehab schedule has those 10 steps built in, and while the doctors and trainers and therapists are there to implement the rehab plan, it is ulitmately up to the athlete to execute the rehab regimen, and ultimately up to him to follow the plan and stick to it, pushing only so far as is necessary to progress to the next planned step, not to jump ahead and push too hard and throw the whole damned plan away. you want the athlete to push himself, but also to control himself, and to understand most of all, that reinjuring the ligament because of impatience benefits noone.
-
absolutely nothing. what it should do is reinforce hte notion that recovery from tjs is not a guaranteed thing, that you can't just rush it if you deem yourself willful enough, and that reinjury is indeed possible. the relevance to harvey is the immediacy of the guy immediately below him alphabetically on the roster serving as a fair warning that patience is better than impatience when recovering from a surgicaly repaired ligament. sandy's hypothetical message to harvey should be, see, matt, this is exactly why we want to take it easy with pushing you back, because pushing you back before you're ready could have disastrous results. hell, pushing him back when he's ready could have disastrous results. but it is imperative to the organization to use an overabundance of caution when deling with harvey's rehab, and it is therefore imperative that harvey share in that overabundance of caution.
