How is Every Injury More Serious than the Jays Report?

[theblujay]

Seriously. Every single time a Jays player gets hurt they are out 2-3 times longer (or more) than expected.

 

"Pitcher is day-to-day. He'll probably start"...next day: "Pushed back a few days"...."15 DL, AAA scrub called up".

 

It's happened to Lawrie, Morrow, Dickey, Johnson, Santos?, McGowan (Numerous times), ect.

Its f***ing pathetic when you think about.

 

Makes AA look like an amatuer. So does all his yo-yoing of 21-25th men over the past year and a bit.

[theblujay]

Oh Santos needs surgery. I guess I should take the ? away from his name.

[Ziggyy108]

The bright side is though that Jose Reyes looks like he is gonna be playing alot sooner than we thought

[Candy Maldonado]

Isn't Luis Perez coming back soon?

If it's the Jays reporting this I'm just awaiting the news that he's being scheduled for Tommy John surgery. lol

It certainly makes the organization look incompetent and to be quite honest, they probably are. The sheer number of injuries and the fact that they mislead us every time suggests they are either trying to cover up injuries to squeeze out every single ticket sale they can before dropping the bomb, or they just have no f***ing idea what they are doing. In either case, this is a terribly run organization and I think most people realize that by now.

I do wonder what's going on with the Jays training staff. Players get hurt all the time but the Jays injuries seem to come out of left field. Santos was pitching a few days ago in extended spring training, now he needs surgery? Bizarre.

 

It would be a good research project to see if other teams similarly misdiagnose their players injuries.

It's possible since we are more exposed to Jays media in this market, but I strongly doubt it. In past years this was never an issue with the misleading on a constant basis. From time to time I could understand and things happen, but every injury?

you have to remember that Edwin was going to be out 6 weeks to 3 months with his bruised thumb. he missed a couple ST games and that's all.

 

 

AA is just guessing. he has never played and has no idea what injuries you can play through or what kinds are career ending.

Its kinda nonsense, pro sports nonsense but all it does is buy a few days for the organization but the embarrassment is huge. Doesn't look good on the organization.

[omair_rana]

My theory on this, for this season in particular

 

Is that the Jays know ticket buying fans are fickle (and rightfully so).

 

Any long term injuries would yield fans buying less tickets in advance

 

Hence they have misled the public on every single injury this year!
