Brutal...

“It happened Monday in my last at-bat against [Cleveland pitcher] Cliff Lee,” Quentin said. "I fouled off the second pitch and did something I’ve done since I was a kid. I had the bat in my left hand and hit it with my right hand.

“Forty minutes later, I started feeling something in my wrist. The next morning, that was that.”

Quentin didn’t rule out returning but called his right wrist fracture “a freak thing.” He said he hurt it while fouling off a pitch in his final at-bat Monday, slamming his right hand against the knob of the bat.

Quentin denied strongly that he slammed his hand against a locker in Boston.

since you seem to know so much about what is moronic, i'd figure you'd easily be able to identify what is and is not moronic when you've watched someone do a particular thing roughly 324 times.

i think this falls into the category of freak injuries that no one could predict happening.

Running the bases and tearing a hammy is considered a "freak" injury...

it was dumb. no doubt. but that still doesn't mean it wasn't a freak incident.

there are some calculations you have to make when determining this, like what’s happened in the past and how you calculate the likelihood of it causing the injury. and then you have to draw a line between those two points.

in your finger in the eye or my russian roulette examples, i think everybody could agree that the reasonable likelihood of getting injured is very high. and i’m willing to bet nobody here has stuck their finger in their eye thousands of times without injuring their eye. that’s why it wouldn’t be a freak incident.

here, the guy has done this thousands of times without injuring himself. weighs far more in favor of it being a freak injury, regardless of whether the behavior was stupid.

"maybe we could stop and pick up some tabasco?"

by Toonderstrook on Sep 5, 2008 5:54 PM CDT up 0 recs

maybe an even better example

is the getting hit by pitches while not wearing any armor. he’s already had to miss time due to that before, many other people have been injured by pitched balls, etc. not nearly as freak an incident as this.

or imagine that he had hurt himself slamming the bat instead. stupid behavior. but this time, a freak incident. all sorts of players slam the bat (including a few teammates) and nobody that i can remember has suffered a debilitating injury as a result. freak incident.

ssh has a point. things don’t happen in a vacuum. consistently doing something like banging your hand onto a hard wooden object, you’re asking for trouble. carpal tunnel isn’t a “freak” injury. it’s an injury resulting from repeated stress.

i’d love to see the reaction here if eeyore got an injury in his wrist, elbow, or shoulder as a result from ground bat-slams.

Well, actually, that's not a bad analogy

Self-destructive stuff eventually comes to a bad end. He needs to deal with his frustration in a less physically harmful way.

Remember the “Q eats the bat” photo? That was funny, and not potentially injurious. Sure, it’s easy to second-guess, but some had opined (Rockraines, step forward) that he was an injury waiting to happen, whether from a HBP or his violent swing. Say what you will, but “freak” injuries can sometimes be minimized. This was strictly self-induced, and there’s no excuse for that. Sorry.

The players react to Quentin's injury news; Dye to the 3-hole...

White Sox players react to news that Carlos Quentin could be gone for the season with a fractured right wrist:

Nick Swisher: "Obviously it’s a huge blow to our team. We have to pull together and take this in the best way.

"[How good will team be?]We’ll find out tonight. I think it’s a huge loss. It’s hard to tell. With the power that he’s provided, taking that out of the lineup, we have to pull together.

“The timing couldn’t be worse. I hope he heals faster than any of us can imagine.”

Jim Thome: "The bottom line is we have to hope for the best. It’s going to be tough. Anytime you take a bat like that out of the lineup, it’s going to be very tough. We all need to step it up.

“It’s hard to replace a guy in the middle of the lineup. When Ozzie [Guillen] changed the lineup before it worked well. We’ll have to see what happens. The bottom line is we have three weeks to go, and it should be a fun three weeks. Let’s enjoy it.”

The Sox’ lineup tonight is Orlando Cabrera, A.J. Pierzynski, Jermaine Dye, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Ken Griffey Jr., Alexei Ramirez and Juan Uribe.

by Toonderstrook on Sep 5, 2008 5:14 PM CDT up 0 recs

Maybe he will stop slamming his hand into his bat now...

Quentin is hopeful he can return this season.

“I’m going to have surgery to insert and internal kind of splint, something that will let me have mobility and a quicker rehab time,” he said. "They’re going to check it in 2-3 weeks and determine if I can pick up a bat.

“I’m very disappointed with this injury, especially this time of the season. I’ve had a couple of days to reflect on it. I’m ready to move on to the next step, heal as quickly as I can and come back. I’m going to stay positive and hold onto the possibility that I’ll come back [this season]. The bone that’s fractured is not misplaced. It’s a small fracture.”

Quentin has 36 home runs.

“I’ve had a good season and I’m hoping I can continue with this season,” Quentin said. “The frustrating thing is not being on the field with these guys.”
