The Right Injuries Continue

The news out of Baltimore was bad tonight despite the win.  CC's knee was barking again, and it showed.


So...we have no choice but to go out and sign Dallas Keuchel!  Right???

Any offer for Bumgarner should not go beyond Luis Cessa, Tyler Wade, and the $12 million we will take off the Giants' payroll.  Max Scherzer is probably owed too much for Hal to bite (love it when our own cheapness helps us.)

Keuchel—and maybe the seemingly recovered Chance Adams gets another start.  Or someone else.  

This has been the way things break—sometimes literally—all of this year.  We've made all the right moves in all the right places.  

All we are saying, is give kids a chance!  Every time the JuJu gods close a door, they open up a window for us to jump out of...and land in giant pile of money.  They gave us lemons and we made lemon gin fizzes out of them.  Or something.

Then there is the strange case of  Jacoby II, sorry, Giancarlo Stanton.  

This latest "injury" is of truly Pavanoesque/ Ellsburian/ Metsian proportions.  

Stanton suffered a "calf strain," from being hit by a ball on his calf?  How does that track, exactly?  Not a bone bruise or a break, or a contusion, but a "strain."

Say what?

But never mind.  We'll take it.  Stanton's "relapse" after two other injuries comes just as the vultures from the New York Post were circling over Clint Frazier.  Sorry, guys, he's staying.  Though I understand there's some very slow-moving carrion over in Flushing...

One more "right" injury to pray for: HC66 is struck with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and is unable to burden this blog with any more of his windy bloviations for the rest of the season.

The only reason to sign Keuchel is to force him to shave that fugly beard.

Good quote from the NY Post:

If you gave 99 percent of the fan base truth serum and asked how they felt about Stanton staying on the shelf for a while longer the answer would be, “Hey, let’s see some more of Clint Frazier!”

Right after the Post calls for Frazier to be traded away for, well, anything, because Stanton. Oy.

Hey! Keuchel would be a steadying veteran presence in the clubhouse! It's a very important baseball intangible!

Unlike pitching, defense and 3-run home runs. Which are so shabbily tangible. Filthy dirty even. Blek. 🤮

LBJ,

Is it me or is Frazier REALLY bad at throwing? I'm not saying pull the plug by any means. I still think he's the LF of the future as soon as Gardy is forcibly retired but he looks so awkward out there. like he has no feel for it.

I wonder if the concussion issues have made him gun shy. It would be understandable just not good if he holds back when he doesn't have to.

It's you, moron Doug K. Frazier has a great arm, and some of his throws from the outfield have been measured at 95 MPH. You're just a dumb guy and should spare us your dribblings on this blog. Idiots like you drive away newcomers who might otherwise take an interest in the site.
