There is nobody worth a frick who is available. We have Big Jon who can be a left handed batter. He sees pitches sometimes. No idea where he is or what he’s up to.

If Meyers is seriously hurt they’re probably just going to roll with Chas assuming he is back within weeks.

Chas isn't back yet. We can't assume anyone who's been injured will be, at this point.

It's possible Brown forces Matthews up. Melton, if he survives the worthless medical staff, would certainly be a platoon option.

I elevate my game in those instances.

Chas is a good fielder, but he was not good last year. He was functional and valuable in 2022 and 2023.

What do yall think the market would be for Yainer? The dropped pop up has my blood boiling. Along with his shitty at bats.

If Yainer doesn’t tie this up after two outs in three batters and swinging at a ball way off the plate, he can go frick himself so hard.

frick him

Why would anyone ever throw him a strike? He clowns himself.

there’s reason to be cautiously optimistic that Jake Meyers’ injury is not an Achilles tendon rupture. His ability to walk off the field with a trainer’s assistance, despite showing discomfort and limping, suggests the injury is unlikely to be a complete Achilles tear, as those typically cause severe, immediate pain and an inability to bear weight, often requiring a cart or stretcher






So youre saying there's a chance

If it's even a partial tear, it fricks the the player and the team. And it should have never happened.

A good chase pitch is not required to get him out

His value is diminishing and his defense is not good enough to justify locking him up long term

But still better than your average MLB C offensively

The promising news with the way we're playing is that we've got deGrom on Saturday and Eovaldi Sunday. And Leiter on Friday who no hit us through 6 the last time we faced him.


Everything is fine.

I’ve been watching sports a long time and I don’t really ever recall hearing about a partial Achilles tear/rupture.

Wouldn’t that be like being a little pregnant?

Not being an arse intentionally, really wondering how much of a difference it would make.

Get Hummel out of the fricking lineup this instant.

Get Fart out of the lineup this instant.

Get Dubon out of the lineup this instant.

A **partial Achilles tear** or **strain** is an injury to the Achilles tendon, the thick band of tissue connecting the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus). In a partial tear or strain, some of the tendon fibers are damaged or torn, but the tendon remains intact, unlike a complete rupture where the tendon is fully severed.

Key Points:
- **Causes**: Often results from sudden, forceful movements (e.g., sprinting, jumping), overuse (e.g., repetitive running), or inadequate warm-up/stretching. Risk factors include tight calf muscles, improper footwear, or age-related tendon degeneration.
- **Symptoms**:
- Sharp or burning pain in the back of the ankle or lower calf, especially during activity.
- Stiffness or tenderness in the tendon, often worse in the morning.
- Mild swelling or thickening around the tendon.
- Weakness or difficulty pushing off the foot while walking or jumping.
- **Severity**:
- **Strain**: Overstretching or microtears in the tendon, often milder.
- **Partial tear**: More significant damage to tendon fibers, but not a full rupture. Graded as mild, moderate, or severe based on the extent of tearing.
- **Diagnosis**: Typically involves a physical exam (e.g., palpation, Thompson test to rule out complete rupture), and imaging like ultrasound or MRI to assess the extent of damage.
- **Treatment**:
- **Rest**: Avoid aggravating activities (e.g., running, jumping) for weeks to months.
- **Ice**: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and pain (15-20 minutes every few hours).
- **Compression**: Use a wrap or brace to support the tendon.
- **Elevation**: Keep the foot elevated to reduce swelling.
- **Physical therapy**: Stretching and strengthening exercises for the calf and tendon once pain subsides.
- **Orthotics/heel lifts**: Reduce strain on the tendon.
- **Medications**: NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) for pain and inflammation.
- **Immobilization**: A walking boot or cast may be used for 4-8 weeks in moderate cases.
- **Surgery**: Rarely needed for partial tears unless conservative treatments fail or the tear is severe.
- **Recovery**:
- Mild strains: 2-6 weeks with proper care.
- Partial tears: 6-12 weeks or longer, depending on severity and adherence to rehab.
- Gradual return to activity is critical to prevent re-injury or progression to a full rupture.
- **Prevention**: Regular calf stretching/strengthening, proper footwear, gradual increases in activity intensity, and avoiding overtraining.

You can. A partial tear is rare but happens. And it doesn’t require surgery most times. A full rupture sucks and always requires surgery.

He likely has a partial by the way he was walking off.
