Today is another day.

saw 916 3-0 counts, swung 200 times (21.8%)
on 3-0 his line was .364/.872/.766.
after 3-0 it was .315/.790/.624.
it’s funny that after the count reached 3-0, juan pierre has a higher OBP than frank did.

sean forman should be in the hall of fame.

And that Ozzie saying “a year” was not an informed medical opinion. Which isn’t to say the injury might not be that bad, but I don’t think that anyone really knows yet.

The tendon, which is fairly lengthy, runs behind the inside of the ankle and attaches to the navicular bone. Its function is so critical because it helps control position of the midfoot, which essentially controls the arch. You also use that muscle during push-off of the foot. As a right-handed thrower (and this is his right foot that is injured), the pain he has been experiencing as weight is transferred through the foot during his pitching motion has no doubt contributed to his less than ace-like performance in the starts since the initial injury. He has been heavily wrapped, but obviously is still struggling, and even the presence of a heavy wrap itself can alter an athlete’s function as it limits foot motion."

As for the prognosis, Stephania says it all depends on how well the tendon heals while Peavy is in the solid cast. “The best case scenario is they see evidence of tissue healing when they re-examine him. He progresses to a walking boot (where he can also resume direct therapy), then a normal shoe, then resumes baseball activity gradually; that’s the 8-12 weeks (i.e., maybe September). The worst case scenario is if the tendon does not repair itself and ends up requiring some sort of surgical intervention. The time frame would need to be re-evaluated at that point, but it would be clearly season-ending.”

So perhaps Ozzie’s lack of optimism might, after all, not be misplaced.
