His rehab stint started on about May 22, so it was pretty clear they were gambling by pushing him. Was there another tweet besides this that said shut down til June?

As well as Kopech into a more significant role. Well, there's lots of reasons not to do that, but if taking on an overpaid and struggling outfielder from some team is too big of an investment, then they might as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Could even call up Beckham and move Leury into a primary OF role. But then I guess you have to remove someone from 40-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff seemed to be handling it properly without letting him play on consecutive days and really restricting his activity. It may just be that he had a severe injury and really needs to take more time off but the team really needs him so they are pushing it. ptatc, at what point do you think stretch, strength, and conditioning practices factor in when considering a lot of these somewhat similar leg area injuries? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been genuinely bad this year, but I said Heyward in early May as a guy the Cubs would almost certainly move if you took on some portion of his deal, and he will probably be better the rest of the way than he's been so far. Franky he'd probably be cheaper now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 2021 OF Depth 1.Robert 2.Eloy 3.Eaton 4.Engel 5.Vaughn 6. Leury 7.Lamb 8.Goodwin 9.Gonzalez We could quite literally be running our 3rd string OF out there as a part of the starting line up against RHP, if Leury were to play IF for some reason.

Thanks. It is the only thing that truly matters. We know that one of the primary reasons for muscle injuries (other than previous injury which is always number 1) is passive stretching. Unless there is a significant lack of range of motion, passive stretching is not needed. it also decreases power and performance. This is why you see the dynamic stretching before competition. hopefully the athletes aren't doing it in the off season. Listening to the comments from players including Engel, in my opinion a strong possibility (just so people don't go crazy with "conclusions" again) it was the relative lack of baseball players and increased working out, that is causing many of the issues. You can train all you want but the quick start and stops at odd angles, reaching for the 1st base bag, diving for balls, sliding at weird angles really can't be duplicated in workouts.

maloney.adam Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) The Sox need to be more proactive with this one instead of reactive. These bandaids aren’t going to help. Someone from the medical staff needs to be held accountable. Edited June 22, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) There should be room to add some guys from Charlotte, with all of the players on the IL. Without Engel, and if they acquire Escobar, as rumored, here is a potential lineup versus RH pitching, which would at least have some proven veterans, to go along with the rookie, Sheets: SS Anderson RH 3B Moncada SH 1B Abreu RH LF Lamb LH C Grandal SH DH Escobar SH 2B Beckham RH RF Sheets/Leury LH/SH CF Goodwin LH Edited June 22, 2021 by Lillian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Engel needs to be shut down for the rest of the first half of the season. This team is going to have to scratch and claw to stay on top of the division until these injured players get back in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to kill our starters with the outfield defense, and really piss off Lynn even more than in his last couple of outings with miscues behind him.
