No

 

 

[G-Snarls]

Wtf?!?!?!

[BlueJayWay]

Alford to DL.

 

[THANOS]

Alford to DL.

 

 

I don't understand lol? Why?

[Dr. Dinger]

God f***ing dammit.

[BlueJayWay]

Hamate fracture apparently.

[G-Snarls]

Oh goddamit

[Virgil_Hiltz]

Hamate fracture apparently.

 

unf***ingbelievable!

[Governator]

Just a regular day.

 

 

Pretty sure the team has been sharing Brandon Morrow's old shower gel

[Terminator]

Good to see Stroman's big bat back in the lineup.

[THANOS]

Hamate fracture apparently.

 

What's the recovery time on something like this?

[LGBJ29]

What's the recovery time on something like this?

 

likely 3-4 weeks

Doesn't the hamate bone injury zap your power for like 2 years? this is bad.

in like the rarest of cases where surgery is required. Lets calm ourselves a little bit here

Probably an extreme case but:

Someone on reddit also pointed out that Eric Hinske suffered a hamate fracture after his RoTY season and it took 2+ years for his batting to come back around.

 

I don't remember enough about the dark days of Eric Hinske and I don't know enough about hamate fractures to add anything of my own.

[Sammy225]

Sounds about right lol

[LGBJ29]

It all depends if it is a hairline fracture/stress fracture etc.

Here is a good article that compares players who have had the injury and looked how their power bounced back

[TwistedLogic]

How the f*** did this even happen? Did he just jerk off too rigorously the celebrate his first hit? Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the game, did they say anything about a potential injury on the broadcast?

So Alford is going to develop even more power as a result of this injury? I'll take it.

[Jonn]

I thought he looked really bad in his second at-bat last night. His swings looked really rough and bat was slow.

 

I really wish I had video but yea f*** dude this sucks.

[Effit]

This season..smh. Unreal.

[Pendleton]

Going to have to tune down his bat speed until his bones develop enough to handle the torque.

[Daniel Labude]

Apparently they are saying Alford cracked the bone fouling off a ball in his 2nd AB

[Pendleton]

Maybe give Jason Leblebijian the next call up? Positional versatility and seems like he just keeps hitting

Seems like a decent option probably could use some reps in LF. He's only had 1 start their so far this season and that's where we would need him.

[Governator]

Broxton homer, 1-0 :/

[Jonn]

Broxton killing us this year. Crushed a homerun in Toronto as well.
