tray Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Mazara appears to have cut down on his swing and opened up a bit at the plate. He has had at least two hits to LF recently including the one yesterday off a LH pitcher. Mazara has also made two stellar plays in RF recently, an excellent sliding catch saving runs and the 27th out yesterday where he showed decent speed, a good jump and of course his extended reach because of his height. He is still young and has put up 20HR / year a few times, so maybe people should be patient. Edited September 1, 2020 by tray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people that don't believe its real might change their minds. I'm so sick of lockdown. There's only one motivation I could come up with for people to lie and keep this under wraps - if you're worried about long term, physical damage, or the threat of it costing you money. If you have an agent who is telling you "If you admit you had this, other teams will be more hesitant to sign you because they'll worry about physical or cardiac damage", you are going to lie up and down and left and right if you're on the way to signing another contract, which Mazara is. If he doesn't admit it, then teams can't ask him about it, and if they do he can sue them. Which, btw, makes me wonder why on Earth anyone who is already a projected top 100 NFL Draft pick would do anything other than sit out this year if their college team insists on playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should consult with some euro soccer trainers, maybe find someone on BM or some shit. Those guys know how to train legs for injury prevention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not sure what people do not understand. A decision like this is NOT Renterias to make in the first place. Let's say he was suffering from chronic fatigue, for whatever reason but say COVID to make people happy, he would test fine and there wouldn't be a lot of risk in him playing... but he'd be sore and feel lethargic for a month or two. Do you put him on the IL if there is no cure for what he's going through and the fatigue will just be there for a few weeks? No, probably ot.

Worth remembering that he probably went 3.5 months this year without being able to work with the normal team trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, yes you do, because you don't know how long it will last, but you know with a good amount of certainty that rest and working privately when he has energy to do so is better than forcing him out into a big league ballgame where he has to focus for hours on end.

If it's chronic fatigue, you play him when he's feeling fine and you sit him when the soreness and fatigue is too much. There is no side or private work you can do to overcome that diagnosis as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 One very small benefit of extending a guy for years during his arb years is you don't have nearly as much doubt about their intentions... they want you to be healthy and will do what is best for you in the long run. If it was a risk for Moncada to be out there sometimes and not on the IL then I think he would be. Sox aren't risking his future for a few games this year.

I haven't seen anyone mention this but have you noticed that Yoan lately has double clutched, or more accurately, had trouble getting the ball out of his glove ? He's off in all aspects of his game.

The prize of the White Flag Trade was supposed to be Barcelo. He was always saying something was wrong, and the medical people couldn’t find anything. They told him to pitch through it. It got to the point KW literally called him a pussy. It turned out, however, he needed elbow and shoulder surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its training differently as you elude to in the second part. I would doubt it's they are creating the muscle imbalance by training one more than the other. He isn't creating the workout plan on his own. The Sox conditioning staff was involved as well. He was probably trying yo increase the strength of the lower extremities and didn't follow the flexibility and agility portions of the training. It is usually the ha,string that suffer because they produce significantly less force than the quads but also because they are designed differently. The quads are powerful one joint muscles. Other than the rectus femoris, they only act at the knee. The hamsrings need to act at both the hip and knee. This makes them susceptible to active insufficiency and force generating issues. The other difference is that the biceps femoris portion of the hamstrings has two portions that have different nerve supplies. Because of this they can get out of sync and have further susceptibility for injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
