Anthony Rendon shut down for at least 2 more weeks, internal bleeding discovered

[halomatt]

It really sucks that he's hurt again.  I can certainly understand the frustration from many in this thread and on the forum in general.  The thing is, based on comments from his manager and members of the press, he wants to be out there, and is clearly frustrated that he can't be available.  Now, I have no idea what it's like to be a professional athlete, but I can't imagine these folks didn't get were they were by being complacent.  Most athletes seem like outliers in their profession, often putting in long hours honing their craft to get where they are. 

Like I said, I'm not a professional athlete.  I'm not even an amateur athlete, lol.  But I've had debilitating injuries before, most often with my back.  Man, when that lower back acts up and I'm turtled on my back on the bed and I need help from my wife getting upright, I wish more than anything that I was able to function. 

I hope he gets the help he needs to get back on the field soon.

It is.  It’s just odd that it takes 3 weeks to discover it, especially when the patient has complained that it was still sore.  Baffling. 

Even the Angels medical staff was assuming he was just being a bitch like he usually is.

“Oh that’s just Rendon being a bitch again”.  That sounds about right. 
Rendon is better suited for softball than baseball at this point.  What could we get from a softball league for him?

Give me all the troll emojis that you would like.

I have done a little digging and have not found one case of internal bleeding from a ball hit off the shin in recent baseball history.

Again there was a initial X-ray and although it makes sense that some kind of bleeding was not evident at that time or developed at a later date, I have not found one case.

I'm not a doctor,but I am. NDT industrial radiographer and a fracture in a piece of metal is no different looking on a X-ray than a fracture in a bone.

You are not a doctor and this was an MRI not an x-ray. So stay in your lane, dude.

I said I wasn't a Dr...and at least I put on my blinker before I changed lanes.

I don't know either way what Rendon wants. What the coaches/media says it's irrelevant though. You really think a player would say, "I'm not really that injured, I just don't feel like playing!"? He gives off those vibes, but he also has to deal with the coaches and fellow teammates. It's not that hard to over exaggerate an injury while still acting like you care.

That being said, there's no way to tell with rendon. All we know is that he's a guy who almost never dealt with injury, chose to go to the Angels to avoid "the Hollywood lifestyle", and then has been consistently injured.

How in the fuck can a non-moron adult human think that Rendon is not injured? There's clear visual evidence of a high velocity baseball making direct contact with his shin. Just as there was clear evidence of the pitch hitting his wrist. It just seems to say a lot more about the thinker than the thinkee

You might want to fact check this. He was oft injured in DC as well. I’m sure he’s faking internal bone bleeding like one often does.

I'm looking forward to Arte learning zero lessons form this and continuing to sign guys over 30 to huge contracts

The Angels are just not hiring the right medical people.

They need to hire medical professionals away from professional soccer.  These guys are amazing on how fast they get the players healthy.

Sometimes within seconds.

He had one year where he missed significant time. One out of 6 years. Only other stuff I found was in 2018 he fouled a ball of his toe and missed a few games. Still played 136 games that year. So maybe I'm missing something, but that doesn't seem like much of an extensive injury history. 

I'm not saying he's faking the extent of this injury. Merely pointing out that what his coaches and/or teammates say about his desire to play doesn't really mean anything. And also pointing out the fact that he hasn't been able to play even half a season (with the exception of a short 2020) since he got here. 

I was listening to MLB radio the other day and they were talking about how a lot of players used to just play through injuries. I think at this point in his career, Rendon doesn't play through one ounce of discomfort. The second he feels something he's on the IL and he won't come off until he's 100% comfortable. That's just my opinion.

So he should just play through internal bleeding?

That isn't my point at all. I'm speaking about his whole history with the Angels. No, he shouldn't play through internal bleeding. Yes, I think he'll milk the injury for as long as possible. 

This injury wouldn't be as frustrating if it weren't for the dozen others, including several "strains". And he always seems to be on the furthest end of potential return dates. 

I'm not trying to argue that he's faking this injury or should play through it. Someone mentioned that Nevin and others had commented about his desire to play. I only pointed out that there comments are meaningless because of course he's not going to openly state he doesn't care or want to play anymore. I'm also not saying for a fact that he doesn't care. It's my opinion that he doesn't.

I also think he milks every injury. Obviously this is worse than originally thought, but I have no doubt he'll milk it. In other words, I think most players with the same injury would be back sooner than he will. Again, it's just my opinion. 

He looks very apathetic when he plays.

[yamsi12]

Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a baby back bitch.

I remember when the Angels traded a guy that didn't show enough intensity when the team was failing pretty hard. Came to the locker room listening to his music and overall pretty relaxed. He was having a terrible injury ridden season and was well below his career norms but he wasn't turning over buffet tables or killing water jugs in the dugout. Glaus was having a down year as well but wasn't injured, instead the front office focused on this guy as being the problem. 

That was stupid. 

 

[fan_since79]

Yes, it was. His first six years in St. Louis he averaged 35 home runs with a .989 OPS. Previous six years in Anaheim, 20 HR and OPS of .862.

[fan_since79]

That being said, Rendon is no Jim Edmonds. He's not going to go somewhere and mash while playing every day. Quite the contrary.
