Beckett out for postseason? (nope, just games 1 and 2)

[BSN07]

Plz change title to "Beckett's Oblique." I logged into the forum this morning and just about had a coronary thinking it was something new.

 

Gets me everytime too.

I think he will pitch and be ok, maybe not 100%.

 

 

But you have to give Jacko's opinion some level or respect on this. Yes it might smell of Yankee Eau de Toilette, he has a medical background, and I'm sure hidden under the fragrance, is some medical knowledge.

 

Oblique injuries are no fun when your game relies on torquing your midsection 150 times (game + warmups). But if he was able to throw 67 full force pitches with no pain or residual soreness, then I dont see why he shouldnt start. Makes me wonder if he just spasmed and they were being extra cautious. Cause an oblique pull is one of those injuries you just cannot rest. Kinda like your back. Any movement involves the oblique being contracted and relaxed.

From what I've heard about the injury, when we was throwing his side session, he felt a little something at the 40th pitch, told John Farrell and they shut him down immediately. From the sound of that, it sounds like calling it an oblique pull might be a stretch. When I think of an oblique pull, I think of Trot a few seasons ago swinging and looking like he got shot. I'd call Beckett's thing more of an oblique tweak.

So, Josh Beckett is hurt. There is no question about it. I was seeing some fastballs in the 88-89 mph range last night. He topped out at 93. Just last month, Becks was topping out at 98mph. The only difference is the oblique. And if the oblique really wasnt injured, why would he have had a cortisone shot there. Here's the deal. He looked bad, epic bad. It was ridiculous. And the oblique is something that heals with time. Lots of time. It takes about 6 weeks of inactivity for a serious pull to start to feel somewhat close to normal. Ladies and gents, from a fan of a team that is golfing now, methinks Becks needs to be inactivated.

I agree, he's definitely more hurt than they originally said.
