Flash Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Tauchman was available and the Giants got him for next to nothing. Plays all 3 OF spots very well. 3 run HR today. Dammit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) For reference, Bo Jackson dislocated his hip, popped it back in himself, tore out all the cartilage on the top of his femur and had avascular necrosis. Call me crazy, but Robert's injury doesn't remind me of Bo Jackson. Edited May 3, 2021 by TaylorStSox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to make a move, and they did before this really. Expand This org wasn't very deep in OF talent before the season began and has now seen major injuries to Eloy, Engle and Robert. And watching Eaton it looks like he's having issues too. They've basically sustained injuries to their top four OF coming into the season. They can't run Leury/Hamilton out there every day for the next six weeks, especially with a ton of division games coming up. I think the FO will be forced to make a trade.

You’d think putting up pinball numbers in Charlotte would do more to breed confidence than playing in Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Does Robert look like he gained a little weight from last year to this year to anyone else ? I'm not suggesting that is unnatural or that if he did that it might be related in any way to the injury, I'm just curious. Looking at the video of him running to first base a few times he just looks like more like a linebacker than a fullback. Perhaps I just didn't realize he was that big and strong.

Sambuca Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Is there a chance this could require surgery if it’s fully ruptured? I have no idea how much pain each “grade” of a hip flexor strain causes, but unless Robert is extremely dramatic, it sure looks and sounds like a grade 3 tear.
