Can somebody help me out here - is this a quad injury or a thigh bruise? Honestly, I hadn't seen any of the Twins/Pirates games because of work/other stuff, and just assumed he was playing by now. Now he's "not sure when" he can play again, and that quote was THURSDAY. Unbelievable. (From RotoWorld)

 

 

Mauer was making solid progress earlier this week in his recovery from a right quad injury, but he's stalled lately. The Twins were hoping he'd be able to catch in the bullpen Thursday, but he wasn't feeling up for it. "It's not much better than yesterday," Mauer said Thursday. "I thought I'd be able to do a little bit more. It's real frustrating." Mauer seems unlikely to be ready to play Friday, with his status for the entire weekend series in Cincinnati up in the air.

A "thigh bruise" is a type of a "quad injury". Given the competency of the Twins' medical staff to treat injuries well and the transparency of the management to communicate about injuries, I suspect that we do not know the seriousness of this.

Enough of this nonsense. Put him on the DL.

There's only one way to sum this up:

 

Agree w/ Nick.

 

Is there a stat anywhere that shows non-DL games missed due to injury? The Twins have to be lapping the field.

The bilateral leg weakness bone's connected to the something. The something's connected to the red thing. The red thing's connected to my wrist watch... Uh oh.

Mauer ratio of the day:

 

The pigskin route:

Injuries sustained at Florida State > Snaps taken at Florida State

 

My guess... 9 to 7

Hadn't read this thread until now because I get tired of Mauer threads (most people love him or hate him -- I'm just pretty much disinterested) but I'm glad I did because jokin's recount of the Fisk-Munson story is one of the best things I've read for a while.

 

Gave me a real smile.

Illegal -as in- against the rules. Base runners are called out for running within the white line. Even if Mauer drops that ball, Weeks should be ruled out. Taking a four day break after this is another thing though.

There was nothing illegal about where Weeks was running, nor was there anything illegal about the slide.
