Sale going for elbow MRI

[notin]

Damn it all!

 

Kidding, but man, it feels like we are being deliberately tortured by the baseball gods this offseason.

 

Well, there’s always Eovaldi...

[moonslav59]

Absolutely. But persistent pain in these athletes warrants exploration

 

Sounds right, but it seems like you only mention the gloomy possibilities when it comes to Sox injuries and rosy for Yankee players.

 

Sometimes, it's about pain thresholds, too.

 

Most pitchers feel some pain after every start, but they don't really have a serious issue. (I'm not saying Sale does not have a serious issue or that he is a woos, but pain is a tricky thing to gauge, at times.

Isn't there a word for that? And doesn't it start with the letter "t"? ...which is why I only skim his posts until I find out if he's posting something worthwhile. "Consider the source", I always say.

Sadly Sale has been broken since August 2018 and without Tommy John, I don't think we'll see Chris Freakin' Sale again. I'm actually hoping for TJ surgery at least the back end years of the contract will be great.

He probably should have had the surgery at least a year ago.

He's a Yankee fan and has that perspective. I don't view him as a "T".

Something tells me there's a nasty joke about my Eovaldi optimism in there...

[Bellhorn04]

That's the way we think as fans. But the doctors, including The Man, James Andrews, are saying otherwise.

Rando internet posters clearly know what's best for Sale not the doctors or medical staff.

[Slasher9]

they should have ripped a tendon from a cadaver a year ago. do it. do it now!

[OH FOY]

They say 18 Months, but 2 years is optimal.

You Pitch in pain, I understand, just as long as it doesn't alter your delivery where you hurt other areas. You damage the shoulder, say bye, bye.

From Bradford on the latest signing: "McHugh recently underwent a procedure to help alleviate elbow concerns after the righty missed the final month of the 2019 season."

 

We all might have to start comparing our own procedures to alleviate elbow concerns; mine will probably be a New England style IPA...

[TylerD]

Well, there’s always Eovaldi...

 

The man that can give you a great shutout game, or the man that can cost you a game before it even gets started..... Scary....

Final diagnosis: Flexor strain

 

What’s a well known fake out for a UCL year? A flexor strain

Bring back Dr. Bill Morgan!

Are you saying Dr. Andrews is being faked out here?

My mom always told me to take the diagnosis of a random doctor over the internet whose never met the patient over a prominent world-renowned physician who has.

 

But that’s just mom with her weird idiosyncrasies. She also put whipped cream on baloney sandwiches...

Is it too much to ask the Red Sox to share with us all their images of the inside of Chris Sale's left arm?

Only if you review them with my mom. Just don’t let her bring lunch...

It's only fair considering how much tickets cost.

Take it easy, have some confidence in how the Red Sox are handling this! Sale is in pain after throwing 15 pitches, so they're going to rest him for another week and then reassess. Before this, he was only shut down for half a year... so I'm sure one more week off will heal what ails him.

 

In the meantime, I'm going to reassess what ales me; maybe a red or brown ale -- nothing too hoppy, because I've had enough bitterness this offseason.

@jcmccaffrey

Sale on living up to his contract: I know what I mean to this organization, to this team, the success going forward. And I know the faith they put in me. That’s evident in the press conference I had in spring training last year with the contract. I couldn’t possibly feel worse...

...about any situation I’ve ever felt in my entire life because of that. I don’t think I’ve ever let anybody down this hard, ever. And that sucks. Someone gives you something because they believe in you, they expect something from you and you don’t live up to that.

[Slasher9]

i like this Chris Sale kid......

Seems like a good egg. He only tore up those jerseys because they sucked and were horrible to play in. Unlike what thunder used to say, I think that makes him a good teammate. Maybe he's a pain in the ass employee, but he's a good teammate.

[jung]

sounds like Sale might grab some scissors and cut up Dr. Andrews dress shirt....

 

I see the gallows humor is in full on mode today.

Everyone gets faked out. Not saying he did, but he also didn’t allay any fears with the diagnosis.

[Bellhorn04]

Yeah, apparently he's going to be re-evaluated in a few weeks, and TJS is still very much on the table.
