Josh Hamilton Injury

[NrM]

A dude that is as big as him should never dive headfirst into 1b, unless you're mike trout.

Too many things can go wrong.

 

Very disappointing. 

 

Hopefully we'll see Long or Green starting.

My favorite element was how it wasn't even a close play. Diving head-first on a squiv to short. Maybe while rehabbing in the minors Josh can be taught the fine art of sliding feet-first into the bag.

[vlad27]

Hottest hitter in the AL dives head first into 1st base and is hurt.

Yep, that's our Angels.

holy crap this sucks - watch him come back and not regain this early success - uggh

[QuinlansMinion]

The next time we sign someone for 100 mill, we should put in the contract they cant slide head first into 1st base otherwise the contract could be voided.

Geez I went to bed early last night and missed all the positive things that happened.

[RallyMo]

Crap.

Not good that Josh Hamilton has the same instincts as Yasiel Puig.

Season over

[nando714]

Over/Under Hamilton set backs when trying to get back onto the field this season or even 2015

I'll set the mark at 3.

This training staff blows I'll say over

[Torridd]

I bet he's fine. I'd be surprised if he's out a week.

[ELEVEN]

Ice that thing and get out there!

[Chuck]

Just ice it, sit him out tonight (going against a lefty anyhow) and start him on Friday after the off day. 

 

Panic averted.

You like to tempt fate, don't you?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I really don't know because I've never had this injury before, but wouldn't you think Josh would've shown more signs of pain immediately after sliding into first? If he tore a ligament, it seems he would feel it tear or pop and show signs of discomfort.

 

I'm hoping he just has a minor pull, with swelling and he'll be back in a week. Hoping. Really hoping.

This team.

 

We all want to be positive about it and hope for the best, but deep down we all know he is going to be out for 2 months.

How in hell do you blame a training staff for a player diving into first base?

Hoping it's like Puig's injury, just a strain.

[VariousCrap]

Would a strain cause immediate swelling like that?

[Adios]

MRI results are critical to identify and ligament or muscle issues. If his hand swelled up that fast that is not a good sign. At all.

If he needs ligament surgery this injury has to rank up there with the Kendrys ankle disaster.

Amazing how many unforced errors plague this organization (Kendrys, trading for Wells, Number 5's contract, etc). Sigh.

Don't forget Mo Vaughn. Is our stadium built on Indian burial ground? Hey at least we got 2002 to reminiscent about.

[19HALO71]

Really? the guy was at least hustling and trying to make something good happen.

Yeah probably

I'm not talking about how stupid Hamilton is. I've voiced my opinion here about the play around 3 times

I'm talking about how our players recovery times are a joke compared to other teams.

[TobiasFunke]

He and Puig obviously didn't see the Mythbusters baseball episode
