Eduardo Rodriguez COVID thread

[jacksonianmarch]

Dealing with myocarditis due to covid 19. This is heart inflammation that can cause myocardial stunning leading to low ejection fraction and heart failure. Viral myocarditis usually resolves, but covid 19 is new and we don’t have good data on the likelihood of improvement. I only sincerely hope for a speedy recovery. This disease f***ing sucks

Can you put that in layman’s terms please?

[jacksonianmarch]

Myocarditis is life threatening. It’s the kind of complication that could scare the MLB into shutting down

[a700hitter]

Yikes.

But not schools? Serious question -- since ERod is a professional athlete, and presumably in better physical condition than the majority of college students, and most children pre-K through high school, teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers and school bus drivers...

[mvp 78]

Yikes.

 

This you?

 

OMG, did he die?

 

Also in reference to ERod and COVID.

That is a far more complicated issue. We don’t “need” baseball. We need education

Both are me, so?

[mvp 78]

1. Makes fun of ERod and dismisses his COVID

2. Jacko says it’s bad, you say it’s bad.

 

Why have the dumb dismissive post in the first place?

One was in response to a doctor’s post which is worthy of more weight than the other post. The Red Sox have not given any indication that there is any reason for concern. I appreciate your close attention to my posts, but surely your time can be spent more productively.

Myocarditis is serious stuff. So after weeks of breathing broken glass, apparently some people recovering from the virus wind up getting this nasty gift. Worst two for one anybody could ever be unfortunate enough to contract.

 

Another reason, I am not letting my daughter go back to school next month. This decease is vicious deadly to some patients and debilitating to other patients and some patients wind up showing no symptoms. The craziest game of Russian roulette ever.

[jacksonianmarch]

He’s going to need many, many tests to be allowed to play again. He’s going to get short of breath with exertion which is horrible for a professional pitcher

Best thing is to shut him down for the next 60 days and focus on 2021.

Agree.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Bye.

[Larry Cook]

His health, as well as the health of all our players and staff should be the number 1 priority for Red Sox management and medical staff.

 

Of course, I am sure they are 100 percent on top of it!

[a700hitter]

He’s 27 years old. He’s probably going to want to pitch. He’s on record that he doesn’t want to opt out.

Bradley and Workman make sense to trade. Why would anyone want to trade Benintendi?

[dgalehouse]

Let's trade anybody who's any freakin' good. Let's start over from scratch. Wouldn't that be fun ?

[mvp 78]

There’s nobody that shouldn’t be traded for the right package.

The challenge is always to come up with trade ideas that make sense for both teams.

Devers to STL for Edman/Mikolas/Zack Thompson

[mvp 78]

Xander to PHI for Kingery/Morales/Medina

[mvp 78]

Verdugo/Downs/Wong to LAD for Betts

[Bellhorn04]

Verdugo/Downs/Wong to LAD for Betts

 

If LAD eats some salary.

[mvp 78]

If LAD eats some salary.

 

Sox pay full salary years 1 - 10, LA pays 11 - 12.

[mvp 78]

The first two suggestions were not in jest though. If you want to move Bogey and Raffy, you need to find a trade partner that has a below average SS/3b. Get their mediocre MLB guy at that respective position and grab two decent arms.

 

If you don't trade Raffy, you need to lock him up long term.

Raffy is under control till end of 2023. I'm sure they'll have some talks with him.

The way the MLB is going about playing the season is very irresponsible. Yesterday 4 Florida Marlins tested positive for covid 19 pitcher Jose Urena catcher Jorge Alfaro first baseman Garrett Cooper and outfielder Harold Ramirez. The Marlins manager Don Mattingly said that we are taking risks everyday by playing baseball. There's too many unknown from this virus as it can attack each individual differently some recovers fully while some has secondary effects such as Rodriguez which attack the heart some have irreversible lung damage.

 

The NHL has done it right it gathered all the teams into 2 cities upon arrival they go to the designated hotel they quarantine for 14 days nobody leaves the bubble all the food is brought in the only travel is to the arena on the team bus and back to the hotel nobody leaves the bubble for any reason they are stuck there for 2 months until the season over, Unlike the MLB which allows team to travel within the epicentre corona virus the US and to the hotspots of the virus. The Canadian government was smart by not allowing the Blue Jays to play in Canada they put their citizen ahead of sports and that's why Canada has flatten the curve and their numbers are steadily going down.

 

The US has 10 times the population of Canada the US recorded 38 times more covid 19 cases and 17 times more death than Canada while both countries are neighbouring each other they're going in entirely in different direction Canada has flatten the curve and slowly showing sign of total recovery while The US is surging and breaking new record high in infections daily.
