Did you read where Choo also said his elbow bothered him all season, and that his ankle initially did not need surgery...don't know how he may have known this unless a doctor told him so...but if true, then playing on it during the season caused the injury to increase to the point surgery was needed...and a cartilage tear to boot, which is serious. I share Rev's anger here. I applaud Choo's attitude and desire, but this is just stupid. We just signed this guy to a 7 year mega deal and we risked his future like this?? He should have been shut down, especially after we faded from contention by the all star break. Who's running this ship?? JD, training staff, ownership??? Time for some common sense ...

. I think there is enough blame to go all around to all parties. It makes no sense. There was

nothing to gain.

Well, if we get pretty far behind, may cut out ...

I hope our next manager doesn't promote the attitude that real men play through injuries. I would hope the next manager would never consider Yu a quitter for doing the smart thing.

I blame Choo and Wash. There is probably some blame to go to JD as well.

Let's hope life after Wash works long term for us with Yu.

You young bucks can handle it.

Just hope that holds up.

Maybe 20 years ago.

Should have been a hit for Beltre.

 

[DT LUNA]

After one inning we're not behind. Good start.

Interesting note made by Buzz: Tepesch has the second worst run support in MLB this season.

Wish Scotsman were here to comment on this one. ha

Good to see Smolinski playing again.

Just saw another failure to help Tep with run support.

Shame for him to come off the DL and immediately have to face major league pitching instead of having some minor league rehab AB.

He was swinging the bat extremely well before getting hurt.

At home it's a hit, on the road an error.

7-2 now.
