I’d like to hear the reasoning behind not cleaning those knees up in the offseason. This isn’t a new problem. 
Exactly what I was thinking

I bet they finally figured out what's wrong with his knee and he's going to have surgery.

Then they need to find new doctors.

Or he was hiding something.

It was widely known last year that his knees were gimpy. He’s pretty big to be hiding from the trainers and team doctors. Altuve might be able to get away with it but not Yordan

Fibbing ages got a lot harder after 9-11.  It's not really a thing anymore.

I am pretty sure he escalated the aggravation of  whatever was already bothering him when he slide into third.  After that he was limping just running out a grounder.   

Next year he just needs to be on a no slide mandate and just run motherfuckers over.  

Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez may miss the remainder of the season, manager Dusty Baker revealed in a radio interview on Wednesday afternoon.

“Yordan Alvarez, it looks like he’s done, maybe for the year, maybe,” Baker said on KBME 790 in response to a general question about the team’s health. “We’ll see.”

I know what I would be doing right now this afternoon, but no one here is going to like it lol....and no one could probably even guess it.

I'd sign Puig today.  

Ideally you want Brantley DH, Springer in CF, Tucker/Reddick splitting time in OF spot.  I do not want both of them playing at the same time.  Then again Brantley/Springer can't even stay healthy.  

I do not want Straw/Toro/Mayfield getting significant playing time in late September/Playoffs.  They can pinch run for Garneau/Brantley/Maldo etc....pinch hit for Garneau as well.  

So I would sign Puig and have him join the rotation(once everyone is healthy) of him, Springer, Brantley, Reddick, Tucker for 3 OF spots and DH.  

Puig is already better than 2 of those guys.  

Just stopping by today to say

“Fuukkkkkk can we catch a break”

he probably isn't.  Probably wouldn't see him until end of month, but regardless we need something better than fucking Straw/Toro/Mayfield/Tucker/Reddick getting ABs all game 

Straw / Toro / Mayfield / Tucker are spot fill ins, not everyday players

He is probably more ready than the first three and Altuve right now.

That wasn’t even close to my guess.

Puig would be a model teammate until sept 27....and then go out on the off day before the playoffs and give the entire team Covid

Actual Yuli I’m not sure about... but literal Grandpa Gurriel... or Lourdes Sr. I could see having some godfather-type, uh, “influence” back home.

 

fuck it. I’m in. Just to see game 7 against the Dodgers and Scrubb get the late inning win in relief with Puig the game-winning RBI.

 

How the fuck did those radio guys swing and miss so badly there?

 

I hope Taylor Jones can hit better than Straw and Toro.

Seriously wt goddamn f. If the MRI came back negative, what is the problem and how have they not figured it out?

Partial tear of the patellar tendon, season ending surgery.

 

am I wrong for actually feeling a sense of relief at that diagnosis?

  • Author

Good diagnosis. But how the is the training, strength and medical staff still have jobs after the past 4 seasons of players staying hurt, or "nagging" injuries.

The time for that was circa May 2019 when Altuve/Diaz/Springer all went on IL with a hamstring injury in the span of 2 weeks.

Ive had a partial tear of my patella tendon before.

 

Thats actually a huge relief.  Very straightforward and easy to come back from, if my situation was anything like his.  

Did mine snow skiing at 19 spring break and was out running around after a couple of months.

Next man up needs to step up 

I’m looking at you springer and Altuve

I hope so.

I'm a Houston sports fan though and I can't help but think that there's an underlying chronic issue not publicly revealed. If he had tendinitis in his knee and they knew about it, why surgery now and not last year? And if it wasn't torn sufficiently for a surgical remedy, why didn't the training staff do enough to maximize his chances of recovery during the off-season?

I pray this tendon problem isn't caused by arthritis because that would be not good.

Re: Yordan.  Stuff happens.  If you’re going to miss a season, might as well be this one.  

Next man up.  Keep the streak going.

Just wish the whole team didn’t have this outlook.

He was icing this year. The team isn't going to win anything of importance without JV at his best and without Jose hitting well.

Re: Yordan.  Stuff happens.  If you’re going to miss a season, might as well be this one.

No doubt about it, it's just the compound effect of some many key pieces either being shelved for the season or a sizable chunk of games along with the struggles of Springer and Altuve, all against a never ending backdrop of media dumbfuckery over 2017.

Yordan's return was our beacon of optimism for an underperforming lineup, and instead it's just another kick in the dong cherry.

Eh. Just keep winning and getting better?

Think if we weren't on a 6 game winning streak

Double E1?  Probably not since he had to jump for it.  And a good throw might still have got him.
