I've never understood ripping an athlete for getting hurt for our entertainment. I also can't imagine there is one soft professional athlete on the planet. These men and women work their butts off for years.....hopefully he heals soon.
Mindless? I didn't like the pick at the time. He was older and one dimensional. I also didn't say it was an epic sized mistake. It's almost like nuance is not a thing, and only extreme outcomes are......
Interesting. I know the past, hitters have not had huge issues with stuff, since it gives pitchers better control and they don't get hit as much (IIRC).
31 at bats tells you nothing. It is a tiny sample size. They should base it on all the data they have, not 31 practice at bats. Nothing that has happened so far, not injury related, should change any plans they came into spring training with.
