Lind has a broken toe

[intentional wok]

Yes for this particular injury. But you could argue getting him on the dl 3 weeks ago would have been beneficial to the this team. Also other injuries they don't diagnose correctly like Reyes hamstring injury at the start of the year have cost players many games in the long run and cost a few more wins.

 

I don't understand the "Mom made me get the MRI" thing. How did a conversation with trainers go last week?

 

"Adam, you can't walk. Let's get that examined."

"No, I'm fine."

"Ok."

[BigCecil]

Injury prone players are injury prone.

 

It's like if your son admitted he was gay and you're all like "f***, why does he keep bringing all these faggots home???" or if your kid has down syndrome and you keep wondering, "f*** why does he keep getting his head stuck in the railing of the staircase???"

 

The Blue Jays keep getting injured because that is their nature. Just like how your gay son can't help but get a boner to dude's butts and your down syndrome kid can't help but do retarded things. Saying the Blue Jays won't get injured this year is like saying "ok, my son got the urge to date guys all out of his system last year, this year he will date women and I can look forward to biological grandkids". Nope, it doesn't work like that.

 

I could dig up my old posts prior to the season stating the desperately under-appreciated need for depth and that the likelihood of the big 5 (EE, Bautista, Reyes, Lawrie and Rasums) averaging even 120 games this year would not be a guarantee. But I'm too lazy.

 

WTF is this ramble?!! "dislike"

[sh3156]

Both Lind and lawrie were freak unfortunate injuries

 

Good news is the rotation is still healthy and we will be in this race when everyone is healthy

[IBTrini]

I'd assume the typical 4-6 weeks to heal fully depending on the kind of break. Since he's really only a DH at this point, rarely making an appearance at 1B, he could be back sooner rather than later when he's able to at least jog without too much pain.

 

There has to be some kind of curse on this team. Something has to explain how the Jays are always this injury prone. It seems like something always comes along at the worst possible time. Things like Lawrie getting HBP you really can't protect against, or EE's running down the line and stepping awkwardly causing an injury but damn do these guys seem to be injured every year and always seems to come in bunches.

You forgot about Bautista running down the 1B line and stepping awkwardly on the base which also caused an injury recently. It appears as if he has not recovered 100% as yet.

[IBTrini]

 

Just sell.

I guess mom's do know best. Please tell Anthopoulos to give his mom the assistant GM's job.

Ironically, Reyes being healthy has directly cost a few wins too!

 

Jokes aside, this team is still in it despite this brutal stretch and now the injuries. One run could be all it takes, seriously.

[TDotttt2005]

Trumbo and Hill from the DBacks. Get it done.

[sh3156]

Uh, the Orioles are playing without Weiters, essentially without Davis (imagine if Bautista or EE were struggling to produce a .700 OPS) and Machado is playing for s*** (and missed time). Not to mention Norris (their de facto "ace") missing time recently, and suffering through subpar seasons from their expected 2 top SP (Tillman and Ubaldo).

 

Like I said I will take my chances head to head against the orioles. They haven't had the tougher part of their schedule while we will be playing 47 games against below .500 teams in the final 70 games.

 

 

Could come down to final weekend

Do the Jays even have a medical staff? Was Lind's mother really the one that told him to get an MRI on his foot?

Lakeyshia fell on his foot.

Rogers had to let go the Jays training staff in March, when the first installment of the NHL contract became due. Jays players must go to Planned Parenthood now for their medical needs.

@moggy

 

They really aren't in play. Its us vs the orioles and you can book it.

[flafson]

What i wonder is, how did he get an MRI so quickly by his own? Ontario and MRI don't usually mix well.

The team has it's own doctors and machines.

I think I got mine in 3 days when I asked.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

People are really shocked that this injury-prone roster AA put together without any depth and with a depleted farm system is breaking down physically again?

 

If AA doesn't get fired after this season, the Jays might as well just announce that they've given up on winning.

Good news regarding Lind:

 

Ben Nicholson-Smith ‏@bnicholsonsmith

 

Adam Lind in walking boot for 5-7 days per #BlueJays. Should be back in games within 2-3 weeks.

That is good news

 

1 week of that is no games anyway

 

And he only has to DH

Some good news finally!

[JaysFan4Ever]

He seemed to be doing OK even with the injury at least until it became too annoying so I'm assuming their opinion is, in 2-3 weeks it should be healed enough for him, especially as a DH, to play and since he tolerated some pain before, if it does bother him, it won't be as bad and not interfere? Either way good news.

[Bourjos]

That is good news

 

1 week of that is no games anyway

Nice!! That's great and with the AS break we'll miss less games w/o him.

[Governator]

Would Lind need a few rehab games from that or would we expect him just back with the big club as DH to start?

[jays4life19]

True story ... one of my son's school friends moved to the U.S. solely because of medical care. In fact, the mother (who is a professor) took her 5 kids and moved them to the U.S. without the father, living with her mom for now. They're still married, and he plans to rejoin them when he can find another comparable job down here (he's a professor, as well), but she was so upset by the medical care that she high-tailed it out of there without their father. They had preemie twins and the health care, apparently, was so horrid she had to bolt.

 

 

4.5/10 Troll attempt.

 

Can you can do better, Moogy.

[ElNik2013]

Lind was injured on June 14th, seems like someone dropped the ball on this one. Remember, Reyes tweaked his hammy late in ST, rested for a few days, was allowed to play in Mtl and reinjured it on OD. Same with Rasmus.

 

Seems like they have a problem.

MacArthur: Anthopoulos Says Lind Injury a "Non-Story"

Scott MacArthur, 7/12/2014 1:36:58 AM

 

ST. PETERSBURG – Minutes after his Blue Jays toughed out an 8-5 victory over the division rival Rays, general manager Alex Anthopoulos stood with assembled media in the bowels of Tropicana Field, incredulous over the degree to which Adam Lind's fractured right foot had become a topic of conversation.

 

"I just think there isn't a whole lot going on in the city right now and on an off day it was a story," said Anthopoulos.

 

Perhaps Anthopoulos has a point.

 

Then again, it was Lind who volunteered that he underwent an MRI on Tuesday in Anaheim at the behest of his mother, who was among those concerned about her son's foot, which took the brunt of a foul ball on June 14 in Baltimore.

 

It was Lind who'd suggested he would miss the next six to eight weeks, leaving observers to ponder how the club would hold up without a middle-of-the-order, left-handed bat that has spent the season destroying right-handed pitching.

 

Anthopoulos moved to clarify the timeframe. He said Lind had begun to feel improvement in his foot in late June but that while running on an extra-base hit in the July 2 win over Milwaukee, the pain worsened. Lind's level of discomfort increased during the series in Oakland – he played the first two games at first base and was forced to chase down a number of pop ups in O.co Coliseum's vast foul territory – and it was during the Jays' stay in Northern California that the club began considering sending Lind for an MRI.

 

"We knew that if it ever plateaued or if it went backwards that we would get an MRI but you don't do that unless it gets to that point," said Anthopoulos. "You don't MRI everybody all the time when there are plenty of guys who have issues."

 

The imaging took place on Tuesday in Anaheim. That's when the fracture of the metatarsal was discovered. It was confirmed by Dr. Robert Anderson, a Charlotte, North Carolina foot specialist, who also verified Lind's late July or early August return to action.

 

Lind will spend the next week, approximately, in a walking boot.

 

The club decided not to make Lind available for comment on Friday night, as was the original plan. He'd rejoined the team on the Gulf Coast and maintains a residence in the area.

 

While it didn't seem like one at the time, not to mention it's strangely uncommon for an athlete to mention his mother in the context Lind did on Wednesday, Anthopoulos wrote of Lind's comment as a joke.

 

"You guys know Adam," said Anthopoulos. "Nice, easy going guy, funny in his own way. I don't think he thought anything of anything. It just, he even says today, 'I can't believe we have to talk about this.' I kind of feel the same way. I understand if you guys feel it's a story than it is a story."

 

Addressing Lind's six-to-eight week self diagnosis, Anthopoulos said the club, not a player, releases injury information to avoid such confusion. He speculated Lind lost something in translation.

 

"Whether the doctor didn't specify from the time of the injury, whether Adam just heard six-to-eight weeks, I don't know," said Anthopoulos. "Again, all I would say is, you guys have been covering the team for a long time, I'd say almost every single time injury news comes from the team. If we know we're getting an opinion and we're not commenting until we get all the information (because) there's just no point."

 

Anthopoulos assured Lind isn't in trouble.

 

"No one's upset at him, no one's mad," said Anthopoulos. "Someone was telling me about having apologies or things like that. I mean, this took on a life of its own that's not even, I just think it's a non-story."

 

It will be a non-story soon. Time goes by; these things tend to die down.

 

What can't be denied: Lind's bat will be badly missed until the Blue Jays get it back.
