So Yainer is going to the IL because he felt a twinge in his oblique in batting practice.
He also said AFTER the game they had not done any imaging or had anyone check him out to give a prognosis.
Yet, Joe said he was going on the IL.
This club is so dysfunctional.
I thought they might give Collin Price a shot.
Big guy that catches and plays first.
Had 18 HR and 60 RBI at SL last year.
This year he has 6 HR and 14 RBI with an .844 OPS in 92 AB’s.
Heaven forbid we trim some fat on the 40 to give a guy a shot that might provide some offense.
This team is looking as dysfunctional as UH Baseball. Can we have Luhnow back.
no thanks
This article does a good job of highlighting how mismanagement has hurt the Astros’ pitchers as much as the injuries.
Here’s what you don’t understand, Pollard. Joe was an undecided major at the Univ of Mobile and coached the Greensboro Grasshoppers and Jupiter Hammerheads. If those don’t make you a clinical intern in Orthopedics then nothing will. You can just call him Dr Espada. He knows words like “medial” and “abduction” and sh#%. Trust the process.
coogman, that article just screams Dana Brown is over his head.
That’s a really good article.
In Astros twitterverse none of this is Joe’s fault….its all Dana’s.
This article tells the truth……many other teams are dealing with multiple SP’s out but are managing to survive.
And Joe’s use of the bullpen has been horrible……and why throw another BP game after you just had one two days prior!
The article also points out that Ullola was available to start and is on the 40 man roster….but instead we are throwing Weiss 95 pitches out of the pen and AJ 59 pitches the day before.
If will be a
Miracle if AJ does not have arm issues at some point this season.
I am an Astros homer and have been my entire life….but the manager and GM are a complete clown show……and everyone is watching.
Imai, Hader and Pearson all making rehab appearances in SL tonight.
At least Ryan Weiss is being sent to Sugar Land, so Joe won’t feel obliged to keep running him out there to throw BP.
How many “oblique” injuries have the Astros had over the last couple of years? Seems like a lot. Meyers has been out for a month and has just started “baseball activities” after an oblique strain that was initially misdiagnosed as “back tightness.”
Pena’s “hamstring” has kept him out for almost a month, too, but it sounds like he’ll be back on the field this week at some point.
All these soft tissue injuries are ridiculous……both getting them and rehabbing them.
SSDD
Is it bad form for sports writers to do stories on a team’s medical staff? It sure seems this lot is prime for some questions. Why does everyone on the major league squad end up on the IL every year?
Btw, what will Imai’s next injury be?
Thrombosis? Lingering strep throat? Pernicious hemorrhoids?
Lastly, and I’ll hang up and listen. If Crane knew Brown was giving out IL assignments just to let guys work on their mechanics or get their emotions in check would that be front office mismanagement?
For one who doesn’t watch much baseball, Weiss stats even stood out to me. 
I already told you Imai has Vaginitis.
Didn’t Kaz Matsui have surgery for hemorrhoids? Or some other awful injury that I would have rather have been described publicly as a “lower body injury”
Did that taint your opinion of the Astros PR? 
LOL yes, it did at the time. This was 2008 or so. Hard to believe 18 years ago. Apparently it was an “anal fissure.” If I were Matsui, there’s no way I would want that getting out.
Now Correa is a late scratch with some sort of ailment. This season is over before it got started. Bookmark me. Why can’t an MLB team field a serviceable left fielder?
Same dude who managed to break a rib getting a massage.
Left ankle.
Since one of our scrubs just came off the IL today, I guess he feels like he can take a break.
