He's not physically capable of playing everyday until they fix his back. I'm thinking surgery by season's end, if not sooner.

I love it when people play doctor on sports forums with nary a diagnosis in hand.

Yeah, Hampson should never start another game. One wonders why he is even on the roster at this point.

should never have been on the roster at ANY point.
adding him was so stupid, so MO

With Gorman, his specific back issue has not been publicly .
mentioned.
There are various levels of procedures.
In Brewers Yelich case, he had diskectomy type surgery.
Had to remove portion of a disk. Hr had it done last year latr Aug. so he could be healed by 2025 spring training. Yells had previous years eith back issues.
If Gorman does need procedure, hope he does it sooner rather than later.

Whaaaat? I heard it was a brilliant move to temporarily fill a need with a JAG who would spell tired, 'willy 'willy HOT and tiiiired players, not disrupt the development of guys who need everyday at bats in the minors, and provide MLB level replacement so the whole org wouldn't miss a beat.

Going on 3 months of that brilliance now I think...

They should let Molina catch he could probably hit and field better than pages

Speculating for sure, just offering my opinion. Ever had back problems?

nice first inning McG

let's get the bats going

Boyd's stuff and command remind me a lot of Tudor. He has that same three-quarters dead fish change.

wow
that had to hurt

Over-Under Yadi cam shots: 25

We are at 9 in 2nd inning

lot of bullets against mcgreevy

Carson Kelly .853 OPS

Burleson demonstrates the proper approach to hitting Boyd. Take him to the opposite field.

Burly...knows how to hit.

big AB for Jordan
