Just terrible. I guess it's a good thing that it wasn't in the eye, and the season is almost over. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and is ready to go in February.

 

Get well soon Stanton.

 

The other thing this does is potentially screw up the Marlins off-season. This is probably they year they have to trade Stanton, and now no one knows how he will come back from this. Could it affect his mind at the plate? For $200+ million, and a small country worth of baseball players, as small as the chance is, teams will want to know before taking a chance like that.

Waiting on official word but hearing Chris Davis has tested pos for amphetamines. 25 game suspension

 

Seems like something you should wait on official word for

Tooth lodged in cheek. Hole in lip so big doc's index finger fit in it. And get this: Giancarlo Stanton still wants to return this season.

#Giancarlo in good spirits, saying he was uplifted by his mates. Dental work on 3 teeth in Miami. Fractures will heal, no surgery expected

Davis says he used Adderall without getting exemption, like he has in the past. If true, much different than steroid use.

 

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 26m

 

Chris Davis said he had exemption in past to use Adderall but not this year where he failed two drug tests for amphetamines

Well that was awfully stupid. At least he fessed up and admitted it.

Paul Konerko would have jogged to first base.

There is no way he should be allowed to return this season unless they go deep in the playoffs. Fractures take 4-6 weeks to heal. Facial fractures can be very small bones and need at least this time. He is putting alot at risk returning earlier than that.

And put one on the board his next AB.

 

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the back of the billboard at USCF facing the Dan Ryan,that has for years said 2005 World Champions and then they had Big Hurt banner out it, now has a Paulie banner.

I thought this was interesting from today's Keith Law chat:

Cindy (Charlotte)

 

Do you think it is possible that the Braves can find a hitting coach who can help Andrelton Simmons learn how to hit? He takes some of the worst/most off balance swings I have ever seen and he has gotten much worse in the past year.

Klaw (2:28 PM)

 

I think - just observation/speculation - that he's trying more to hit for power when he should be focusing just on making contact. And yes, Atlanta has had a pretty dismal run of ineffective coaching on the hitting side. BJ Upton strikes me as exhibit A.

 

Isn't Greg Walker still there?
