Riding a bike isn't all that tough for a groin injury. They are more involved with side to side and cutting motions. While it's a good sign, it doesn't necessarily mean anything concrete.

I don't know about that. They've had 2 hamstring injuries that required surgery. Thise are fairly rare and significant.

Yes it is. I wonder if they did any STEM cell or PRP injections.

Anywhere from day to day, to 4 weeks, typically.

Theoretically all teams should be. Unfortunately, reality bites.

Correct.

I wish the rest of the team was into yoga. I'll wager there would be fewer muscles injuries if they were.

They are very subjective. Grade 1 is a mild injury with no fibers torn Grade 2 is up to 50% of the fibers torn Grade 3 is 50%-100% There is a variability. This is one most allied health professions use. They also will estimate it using how much of a deficit there is with ROM.

No. In the "groin" muscles, surgery is rare even for a grade 3 as none of them have a long tendon like the hamstrings.

Yes. Thise are varied from mild to moderate so they are usually 2-6 weeks.

I wonder what my thoughts would have been 15 years ago when we would be complaining about only winning the divsion?

You to define stretching. Passive stretching, which I grew up with, where you are in a position and try to lengthen the muscles has been shown to actually cause more muscle injuries than it prevents, unless you have a significant decrease in range of motion. It has also been shown to decrease power and performance during athletic activity. Dynamic stretching such as monster walks and high knee drills are the best activities to get the muscles ready for athletic performance. However your overall point that there needs to be a significant overhaul in their off season training is right on point.

That is a good sign.

I'm saying that's the most likely worst case. Until most information is released like the grade of tear it's impossible to give an accurate time table. Most significant muscle injuries fall in that timeline. I only saw the clip afterwards and it looked like a significant injury but there us no way to tell for sure unless you are there to test it.

Most likely 8-12 weeks is usually the most conservative estimates. I wouldn't think it more than that unless surgery is involved.

That's fine but would you not have drafted him because TA was at short?

Just because you think that doesn't make it right. Detroit also drafted Torkelson high. Apparently there are a few MLB GMs disagree with you. Besides that wasn't what you said. You said don't draft him because he was blocked. Which implies don't take the player you consider the best because they already have an MLB player at his position. Which is always wrong.

Drafting for need and not the player they consider the best is a mistake everytime especially in baseball where the hit rate is so low.

They still get at least some.

All depends on the deal they get. The bigger the contract the less of it that is covered. I was just estimating.

That's about 1/3 of the contract insurance will pay.

I hope they consider his future depending in how soft it gets.

Throwing is all acceleration and deceleration of body segments. Most of the acceleration is from the legs and trunk as the force of the large muscle is transmitted up the kinematic chain to the arm. You are correct the arm just controls the ball for the most part. The UCL comes under stress because the force of the acceleration is greater than the tensile strength of ligament when the ligament is put under undue stress from being in a poor mechanical position.

Yes, recovering from fatigue is what you do to increase strength and endurance. That's what the vast majority of working out is.

Didn't have a chance to read the game thread. Should the Sox trade every one or not after today's game?
