Why they rushed him back is a real head scratcher.....Were they trying to show he was completely healthy to possibly move him? That was my first thought when he first came back.....This has backfired miserably for whatever the reason was.....

Another tough blow for the Yankees. Has there ever been a case like theirs this year? so many good players getting injured all at once.

Why are the Red Sox back to being good? Liked them better when they were playing like ass

it's almost like they've won 93-108 games the last three seasons

Needs to just go ahead and have the surgery. Gio will hold down the fort.

Eric Sogard in 2018: .134/.241/.165, 14 wRC+ in 113 PA
Eric Sogard in 2019: .310/.402/.563, 160 wRC+ in 84 PA

he also has as many home runs (4) as he did in 2015-18 (he didn't play in 2016, he had a knee surgery and then became a free agent after a couple of rehab games). #nerdpower

Yup, they have enough guys to plug in and rotate at the infield positions....This whole thing was handled very Met-like....

Agreed. If a guy has a tear in his labrum, just taking his glove away isn't going to be some kind of miracle cure. As good a GM as Cashman is, sometimes the medical advice he chooses to follow is puzzling.

The only example to the contrary is Tanaka. I thought they were nuts at the time not to have him get surgery. That turned out to be the right call, but clearly he's the exception to the rule.

Really awesome how they groomed and developed Price and Sale.

And man, then when they called up JDM from Pawtucket it was all systems go.

:noidea:

I don't know if that Chavis HR was fair, but it was crushed.
