Mike Trout to Undergo MRI Tomorrow

[Second Base]

The way I've always experienced minor injuries or whatever, is the day of, he barely feels like anything, just a situation to monitor. The second day, everything is tight,  the muscles, the ligaments.  It's a constant state of uncomfortable. The third day, the discomfort is gone but the mobility isn't there and I never want to re-injure myself by pushing it. Day four, light duty.  The mobility is back, you feel 100% but you're still on light duty just to make sure you're good to go. Day 5, back at 100%.

This has happened with my hammy, hip flexor, lower back and intercostal muscles from working out.

So I figure if this minor injury is like anything I go through, day 2 is the worst, and today is day 2 for him. 

Tomorrow, he'll be out of the lineup again but available to pinch hit.

The day after tomorrow he'll be back in at DH.

In three days, he'll be back in CF. So all in all, he missed yesterday, today and probably tomorrow. Three games isn't so bad.

^Yes, this. That clearly describes the behind-the-scenes of "day to day." Most players go through this once or twice a season, which is why most full-time players play 150-155 games, not 162. Say, 3-4 games off scattered throughout the year, and 5-8 due to minor injuries.

Last year's games played ranges (among qualifiers - I wanted to weed out platoon/ph hybrids):

162 games: 7

160+ games: 11

155-159: 26 

150-154: 20

140-149: 47

130-139: 24

120-129: 12

Meaning, only 37 players played 155+ games - that's a bit more than one per team, or only 26%. The median is 147 games.

And of course that doesn't include players who lost significant time to injury, so I'm guessing that only about 20% of full-time players actually play 155 games, and the median is lower.

If Trout misses a couple weeks or more, I  think Adell will get a look.

That is what my hope is, assuming Trout does end up on the IL

The fact that they can’t tell by now is really worrying me. Ugh please only a game or two.

I highly doubt that is the case, where they can’t tell by now.

Small strain in calf. Day to day.

[Angelsjunky]

 

That's a relief.

[tdawg87]

So.... September?

[m0nkey]

Is this what he had back when they were in Chicago?

I always thought textiles were just something you read about in the boring part of junior high history class. 

Don’t you have a Dunkin’ Donuts in Santa Ana to protect?

We leave the souplantation to the savages.

 

But even the cholos know the lettuce sucks.

 

 

(That said, we would respond to protect the mountain dew, my brother)

Then all is forgiven.

And make sure to grab a couple of pizza bread slices at souplantation - those are worth your time.

Realistically how long is a small calf strain  gonna keep him out for? I’m guessing all of this week?

If I was a betting man I’d say in @tdawg87‘s colon.

I’m gonna guess that Trout has access to a lot better treatment and therapy than you. And also that his body may work differently than yours. 

Not only because he’s a professional athlete and the best baseball player in the world but ... a different person.

DHing tonight?   Or wait another night to play it safe?

So are we going to show the same level of concern over Albert’s hamstring?

Thoughts and prayers.

Albert has 1/16 the bWAR of Trout, so I will show 1/16 the concern.

Actually, I'm a compassionate person; I will show 1/8 the concern.

[axalar]

In the 5 games since ASG, he’s been batting .368 w/ OPS over 1.000+ and 11 RBI so i’d give at least 1/4th the concern..
