Wainwright

[BK METS]

I hate posting injuries but this one is absolutely obsurd. Tore his Achilles stumbling out of batters box? Seriously? Brutal.

You can say that again

As my #2 out of Chicago 1 (which I thought at the time, wow, Scherzer and Wainwright as my 1 and 2) it is just brutal. My offense blows in that league; to top that off, I lose McCarthy there also. I watched that play over and over thinking, WTF was that. I knew it was more than a ankle injury, just looked worse than ankle.

Time to seriously look at DH for both leagues. Protects their stars and might be an easy fix to help put a little offense in the game. That injury just didn't need to happen at least not like that.

I hate to see a gamer like Wainwright go down as much as anyone, but he could have just as easily done it fielding a bunt.

Why so seriiouuuuuus?

Time for DH in both leagues? Are they supposed to be athletes or softball players drinking a case while they play? THEY need to END the DH so player's that CAN'T play the game of baseball, CAN'T PLAY anymore. If someone can't hack it in the field, then are they a ball player? The DH is the biggest joke of any position of any sport. Maybe Stan Ross can come out of retirement too now.

I can't believe this whole protection/safety aspect of American society. Back in the day: safety was carrying a firearm, NOT walking through naked body scanners. I realize this is not a good analogy.

Well, then, (hint: sarcasm); they'll have to STOP letting pitchers field bunts then. What's next? Just have fielders stand on the diamond and have a computer decide whether and when they would have made the play? We don't want anyone to ever get hurt so NO MORE fielding.

Making a pitcher hit is analogous to extra points in football....it is a worthless event.....

Disagree, it's part of the game. pinch hitting, double switching, bunting players over, etc....I hate the DH

[Chthroop]

I am screwed. McCarthy and Wainwright. Any chance this is not season ending? I can't drop anyone on my bench!!

[Top Dawg]

I may have finally picked the right player to "insure". At least if he's out I get a few bucks back.
