12 "super-human" athletes of the last 50 years
Bellhorn04 replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Other Sports
Tyson also-somewhat unexpectedly-delivered one of the all-time great lines: "Everybody's got a game plan, till they get hit in the mouth." -
"Can you stay a little late tonight? I've got some entries to show you."
-
But is it all about money? Pitching is what these guys for a career. And it's a short career to begin with. Putting off the surgery will make it even shorter.
-
As an accountant in 'public practice', most of the time I wouldn't describe my job as boring. I'd describe it as hectic, stressful, frustrating, maddening, and, sometimes, rewarding.
-
Right. But maybe we should be looking at this more from the hospital's side. They were probably very keen to do this surgery and get paid for it. They could probably use the money.
-
But as 700hitter suggested, the word 'emergency' is subject to interpretation. Most of the people who show up at the emergency department of hospitals are not in life-threatening situations, but they get treated. A hospital spokesperson said Syndergaard's TJS was essential surgery. If people want to question that hospital's definition, then have at them.
-
Please no more of these gifs.
-
They might need an accountant, too.
-
Maybe one of the reasons the Red Sox investigation took so long was because of findings being disputed.
-
If Syndergaard's surgery should not have been performed, the hospital and the surgeons are as much at fault as he is, if not more. They could have said no.
-
Which is what I suggested to harmony as well.
-
Perhaps because the Astros took it a new level with the decoding and garbage can banging from the dugout, while other teams were decoding and signaling from the basepaths, which has been going on forever.
-
Another key statement from that article I linked this morning: A spokesperson for The Hospital for Special Surgery in Florida where Syndergaard’s surgery will take place told the paper: “The procedure in question—acute ligament injury with progressively worsening ulnar nerve symptoms—is defined as essential care.” The crux of this is what is defined as "essential".

A somewhat interesting read on this issue: https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-are-mlb-stars-getting-elective-surgery-during-coronavirus-pandemic

I really don't know how to feel about it. But the Red Sox silence on the matter is a little weird.
-
The Red Sox refuse to say anything about Sale's surgery. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's already had it.
-
I'm not convinced either. I don't think Henry hired Bloom to act like Dombrowski. And the news on Sale can't be doing much for Henry's opinion of big contracts.
-
That's the spirit.
-
Seems like the right year for it at this point.
-
Potential draft pick penalties are still a huge deal here.
-
That's what it will be. Anyone who thinks there will be actual robots standing there will be disappointed.
-
They could beat it if Kabloom's cast of no-name acquisitions turn out to be mostly good ones, I guess. Plus I don't think he's totally done yet, assuming the season ever resumes.
-
And I am comforted by the fact that the Yankees haven't made it to the World Series since 2009.
-
And of course-this is no news flash-catchers can have a sizable influence on the calls by how they catch the ball. That's even measured now!
-
Yeah, don't even look it up, it's ugly.
