anthony rizzo to the IL
apparently he’s been dealing with a concussion for 2+ months and the yankees just kept running him out there
‘he passed the protocol’
― mookieproof, Thursday, 3 August 2023 21:30 (eleven months ago) link
Wow the theory is true. I honestly think the way they handle injuries is disgraceful, Judge said fairly plainly before coming back that he’d be playing through pain and Boone is still - still! - playing him in right field. It seems incredibly irresponsible. Concussion is pretty bad though, hopefully it’s not too serious for him.

supposedly happened in their series against the padres at the end of may, after which he was hitting .304/.376/.505
in 46 games since, he's hit .172/.271/.225. might have been a clue in there that something was wrong

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F2or1aVXAAA0p_K?format=jpg&name=largeIt was that collision, Tatis was skidding back to the plate to avoid a tag, Rizzo was trying to pick really awkwardly.I just think it’s so fucking negligent. More than two months and nothing was done? Abhorrent. Who the fuck is running the medical staff over there, Jack Kevorkian?

Anthony Rizzo on how he'd describe his symptoms: "Waking up, the way I'd describe it as you go to bed sober and you wake up a little hungover. When that happens, I'm like that doesn't seem normal."— Chris Kirschner (@ChrisKirschner) August 3, 2023

it's been a very unfortunate pattern for years. the yankees downplay injuries and do not communicate them properly to media and fans.
this is probably the worst one yet, because it was clear for literal months that something was very wrong with rizzo.

given the seriousness of this kind of head injury, multiple people should lose their jobs here

Yeah even if you don’t assume he wouldn’t have had a little slump or skid at some point, people online were constantly saying he hadn’t looked right since that collision. I am honestly shocked they never checked him out after that. It’s grotesque.
― a love song for connor wong (gyac), Thursday, 3 August 2023 22:15 (eleven months ago) link
Would any other mlb team do this? Legitimate question. I really think the Yankees culture is the most fertile to breed this sort of negligence. Poor Rizzo, I hope he can get back to his old self soon for his own sake

Red’s manager David Bell just thrown out making a meal about a ball that was called a ball for a 2nd bases loaded walk in a row. Looks like the Reds will lose their divisional lead as of tonight. Is this the beginning of the end for the Red’s chance to get to the post season?

Tuned in right in time to see Ohtani hit his 40th and put them up 3-1. The closer gives up a grand slam. You can't make this stuff up, all you can say is baseball.

I greatly dislike Germán as previously mentioned but the details in the alcoholism story are wild and I’m like, is this really the best way to handle a drunk pitcher? Getting him to sweat out the alcohol in a sauna? In any case, it seems a dereliction of duty on their part, both to Germán and the other players. They deny that the strange “armpit” thing that prevented him starting the other night but coming into the game later was related but, come on.Also, I had not read about the history of Clint Frazier with the Yankees and the multiple concussions he experienced there. What the actual fuck.

i was in D.C. the other night with relatives to watch the nats come back to beat milwaukee, great game. my kids goggled at the nats’ parade of identical be-mulleted relief pitchers with country walk-up music. it was also my initiation into the mysterious initialism “MVR”, displayed on the scoreboard in the place customarily occupied by LOB. not sure which is a more useless stat.

Noted .840-ops-in-his-2023-dodgers-era Kiké gets a base hit in the 8th, leading to a rally that leads to the Padres inevitably walking in the winning run after intentionally walking to load the bases. The Padres are very sad right now
― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 5 August 2023 04:11 (eleven months ago) link
Also of note is Adam Rosario’s 1.040 ops with the dodgers (and playing some good 2b!). Been a good first week for our dollar store pick-ups. This feeling additionally vindicated by watching Phil Bickford (who was traded away) giving up 4 runs in .1 innings today.
