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...
