Red Sox/MLB RIP Tom Seaver

[CharasLazyWrister]

My gut is telling me that if the Red Sox were competitive, E-Rod would make a go of it, but with the state of the team right now, why come back and risk any further complications? Nothing to gain, everything to lose.

As usual, sounds like you’ve done absolutely zero research on topic at hand and are just “going with your gut”.

The stuff with Eduardo Rodriguez should end the "They're athletes, they'll be fine" bull. Anyone making that argument now is dismissed as not being a serious person.

I have had several Doctors in the BI/Lahey network tell me that the damage being done to most people in their 20's won't become a problem for them until they reach their 50's.

He's not a power hitter.

He's a line drive/contact hitter.

If you're expecting 30 HRs, you're going to be disappointed.

I didn't expect expect 30. Just an observation so far. I think his power will come around

After what happened with Reggie Lewis 27 years ago, no doctor would ever clear E-Rod to pitch this season.

I would definitely trust a doctor making 30 year predictions on a novel coronavirus. They all say they don't know anything about it until it comes to saying stuff that can scare people. Then they are so sure all of a sudden. Lmao.

With Erod sidelined for the season, it really looks like we are going to tank for Kumar Rocker. WE need a new number 1 future starter anyways. Hopefully, with Mata, Song, Rocker and ERod, we will have a nice 4-some.

Here's an analogy.

You have a car. The engine was engineered to run "under normal" circumstances, 500K miles. You then proceed to run the engine to readline repeatedly for the first 10K miles. This causes small but irremediable damage to the pistons & rings, valvetrain, etc. These imperfections can't self-heal because they aren't made to. By 200K miles the engine is ready to konk out after blowing thru a quart of oil every 1000 miles. There has weakening compression in the chambers making it gradually lose power. All this time you're getting warning signals from the central computer that's trying to determine and report deviation from norm.

This is what happens when cells in kidneys, lungs, heart, etc are stressed and die. It creates scar tissue that further stresses the capacity of the organs to function properly. At "10K miles", it's not a huge deal, but as the other "parts" face their normal wear with age; those that were most stressed come upon compounded stress to function properly.

I suppose you could always rebuild the motor, but the body is a bit different and I don't think you would want to be tubed up 24/7 - it's really not that cool to look like the bad guy from Dune but to each his own.

Yes, because all the documented examples of young survivors and others that are having long term problems like E-Rod are having is nothing more than a “conspiracy and a scare tactic”. It’s all a big misunderstanding because the there is no way “the sniffles” could do such a thing. I guess you are claiming they just discovered Myocarditis last week, and don’t have a clue what the long term effects are after that diagnosis.

Just a question, did you mean to use “novel” or did you mean norovirus? I am curious at that particular choice of words.

As someone that got it back in the beginning of March, it wasn’t much fun and it lingered on and on til the end of April with an array of odd symptoms including heart palpitations for the first time in my life. Until recently I always thought my lingering weird symptoms was related but now I see that others also experienced the same crap I did because the data keeps rolling in confirming long term effects and sometimes long term damage. But hey...I am only trying to scare you.

I am opting out of this season. Multiple sources can confirm this.

 

[Alicat]

Really hope he’s ok and they find him asap

Cespedes being MIA is a really odd story given how hard he worked just to make it back to playing.

 

[CDJ]

I think something is on Reddit somewhere about Cespedes opting out of the season

obviously not a great source but I imagine that is what it actually is

Passan has it now that he cleaned out his hotel room and left. He then informed his agent who informed the Mets that he was in fact, opting out.

Darn. He was good value for me in my salary cap league

Mut is right here. Quebec it's no problem

 

[KrejciMVP]

Bogaerts!

 

[KrejciMVP]

Judge is the mvp as of today

 

[BMC]

What Cespedes did was stupid, thoughtless and irresponsible. All he had to do was call his manager to inform him of his decision to opt out or have his agent call the GM.
Instead he just took off and caused a lot of unnecessary worry for a lot of people.

Jerk.

I’ve seen all I need to see of Matt Hall

 

[KrejciMVP]

He's out. Devers makes sportcenter highlights

 

[CDJ]

Do not go up and in on that man!

 

[KrejciMVP]

Devers launched that
