Is anyone else worried about Taylor Ward's injury?

How do I tag all of AW so they can see this shit and feel the pain I do?

I feel your pain.  I’m also sad that Taylor Ward is depressed that he flunked his objective strength test.  

[tdawg87]

So can Maddon stop with the fucking "he might be in the OF Saturday" bullshit? 

He won't be there Saturday. Or Tuesday. He's going on a long IL stint which should have been seen a week ago.

Fuck this organization.

@tdawg87you knew this was coming, as did most of us.  I just wish the organization would stop telling us shit just to pacify us.  
 

Day to day, “May” play tomorrow, is available to pinch hit, etc.  

Just let us know when the surgery is so we can deal with it.

Yeah I've had a stinger before and I couldn't even lift my arm to get a glass out of the cupboard it was so bad. That pain and restriction took 3-4 months to heal. 

I just hope it's a mild stinger for Ward.

This feels like dehydration all over again

He batted last night, just like Maddon said he was capable of doing.

[Blarg]

He might as well have not been in the lineup tonight going 0-4 with 3 Ks.

He should just go on the IL. He clearly wasn’t himself tonight

Im still confuse on how he can hit but not throw.. he's experiencing weakness in his right arm/side that's making it difficult to throw..but he's also needs that right side to swing the bat...if the right side is weak, that's also going to affect his swing and hitting ability.

Yep, it sucks. The pain was the worst first thing in the morning.

It's not his side.

[Stradling]

It’s not his arm or his side it’s his neck and it impacts the shoulder. At least that’s what I read.

He should be 100% by early June

Just make it 2030. Good round number.

 

[DMVol]

Even if he isn’t out for an extended period of time, you have to worry about whether he can find the groove he was in….doesn’t take a lot to throw you off…

I agree with DMVol, Taylor and FS are on their extended periods.

The way he described the strength tests, they are done when he raises his arm with his elbow at a right angle (like when you're taking an oath) and then he pushes backward. They measure the force he can exert, relative to the baseline measurement they took in spring training.

Also, I was off yesterday, but I made note of the fact that Frostad told the reporters there that Ward was at 65-70 percent of his baseline strength on Friday. On Thursday it was 60 percent. On Tuesday it was 50 percent. They said he can start to throw at 80 percent. 

If it's a stinger in his neck/shoulder, that would make sense that it pinches and affects strength when your raise your arm, but not when you lower it. So that's how he can hit, but not throw.

That sounds encouraging!

So 10% better.

These jocks and their math...
