General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
Scion replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Typically people only seek that many medical opinions for two reasons. 1) Their prior diagnoses don't match what they feel. I.E. Kawhi Leonard in SA. Doctors said he was good to go, but he felt something wasn't right physically. 2) They want to avoid going under the knife and are looking for a doctor to prescribe them a rehab plan. I.E. Connor McDavid when he tore his MCL and sought multiple opinions before finally settling on a doctor that prescribed rehab over surgery. -
From what I've read Cade isn't that much better than the other top guys if at all, he just has the highest floor and most likely path to stardom because of his shot.
-
Not alot of talk about Scottie Barnes but he has a ton of upside and may be the best wing selection if Jalen Green is taken before 4.
-
Sounds like Milwaukee Carlos Gomez with less defensive value.
-
The constant starting and stopping in baseball don't help either. Particularly after long periods of inactivity on the bench or in the field.

Everyone is different, a one size fits all method is rarely the answer. There are people who swear by vegan diets and those that swear by all meat diets. I think the best approach is to just do what works for you.

If I knew the answer to these question I would be making alot more money, lol.

That is crazy, how can anyone have 5 ACL tears?

This is Byron Buxton's injury history in the Majors. This goes beyond being injury prone, poor guy just looks broken. If I were the Twins I would strongly consider moving him to 1B/DH. I know that sounds crazy because of his defensive value in CF, but he has proven that he cannot stay on the field and the bat may be good enough to carve out a legitimate role as an offense only player. 2015: Sprained left thumb 2016: Knee contusion/back spasms 2017: Groin strain/migraines 2018: Migraines/fractured toe/strained wrist 2019: Wrist contusion/concussion/left shoulder dislocation/labrum surgery 2020: Left foot strain 2021: Hip Strain/Hamstring tightness/left hand fracture

If bone density was an issue I doubt very much that Buxton would have progressed this far as an athlete.

I suspect that many athletes with recurring injury histories suffer from structural imbalances and/or inefficient body mechanics. People obsess over pitching mechanics because of the volatility and attrition rate of the position, but the same kinds of problems can plague position players too. For example, a runner with externally rotated hips is at an increased risk of groin injury. This is a relatively easy thing to diagnose but very hard to change, particularly among athletes whose movements and coordination are extremely patterned. A much harder to detect example is poor glute activation, someone who suffers from this is at considerable risk of lower back, hip or groin injury because of their inability to activate their glutes which creates an over-reliance on different muscles.

My current athletic therapist worked with TFC under the Tim Bezbatchenko regime. One of his clients was Jozy Altidore who is built like a tank, but notorious for soft tissue injuries. This therapist and his colleagues are elite in their industry and none of them could fix what was wrong with Altidore. In fact they couldn't even identify the cause, on multiple occasions they pinpointed different areas and trained and treated it only for other issues to pop up. All of which is to say that some dudes are just fragile.

John Axford in agreement with #BlueJays pending physical.
Scion replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Why not? The Jays are also said to have had interest in David Robertson who also apparently performed well at the Olympic Qualifiers. No idea if this signing means they are out on Robertson now though. -
Feels good man.
-
Be specific, which games and what calls do you think lost the Jays the games?
-
I think Montoyo is a terrible manager, but none of these losses are on him. The bullpen is atrocious, it doesn't even matter who they use.
-
Or the best. It can't be fun to be a member of the Jays right now.
-
Beasley should not be pitching at the Major League level.
-
I just hope this is rock bottom, but it probably isn't.
-
I know, that is what I said. I'm questioning the validity of the association, not that the perception exists.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)

I think I agree with that, though I wouldn't mind a Bryan Reynolds type if the cost makes sense. There is too much uncertainty with Gurriel and Grichuk for my liking, both run extremely hot and cold. -

What moves would you like to see the team make ahead of the deadline assuming they don't fall off a cliff? -
At some point the luck has to change, right? Right...
-
If I was Montoyo I'd be concerned about the body language of some of these guys. The team needs something good to happen, literally anything at this point.
