I'd take the whole damn team to an Excorcist, me-thinks the curse of the Bambino has back fired....well maybe not....
On an honest note, tho' these players have been hurt in good weather.
During April, even halfway thru May, I expected as much out of all MLB Teams, when MLB was playing in freezing Weather....Geezus, MLB needs to downgrade back to a 152 game season, if they're going to play in ABSURD COLD weather, Snow even, (recall the 2 weeks [a few years back] when the Tribe could NOT play in Jacobs Field due to snow outs, Denver had some issues and so did the Tigers).....
It's only a matter of time, before we see a November World Series, with a snow out game or 3....! Not all teams want Domes, and climate control weather, so either do more double headers, or shorten the season....my preference compact it, keep the 164 game season, and lets play 2 more often, which separates the men from the Boys....
An old timer once told me how Stan Musial, (during a double-header he attended in Saint Louey hit 2 HR's in both games)....one of my own most memorable games in attendance was a double-header in 68, The A's of Reggie, Catfish, Blue et al. played the Mighty O's, Boog, Brooks, Frank R., and those incredible pitching staff(s)...!
As a kid and Fan, I loved double-headers more than anything. Yes, I do know, those back to back games take a helluva lot of players. But hey, that's why they make the money they make....! Yet, the entire team would be on the DL, IF they did as much....why....? Conditioning, the elements, lack of using certain substances, too borderline to PEDs,.....??????
'
Expand the Rosters too....so teams can play more double-headers, and remain competitive ALL Season Long....add 10 more players, and make this the norm...!
I know I know, I'm talking out my ass again....Doh:
