I liked it better in the 1950s where they all just shook hands and left the field.

The Mets described Díaz's condition as a “right knee injury.” It was the result of a collision in the celebration, a person briefed on the matter told The Athletic. Díaz will undergo further testing Thursday. Though the severity of the injury is not yet known, it nevertheless sent shockwaves throughout the sport. That included across the country to Phoenix, where several of Díaz's Mets teammates were in uniform on Wednesday for Team USA's quarterfinal victory over Colombia. “I just feel horrible for him,” Mets first baseman Pete Alonso said after the game. “He's worked really hard to get to where he's at. He's not only worked incredibly hard and reinvented himself but he was just an absolute force last year. To get where he was at is incredible. He's such a hard worker, he's a great teammate. I feel frustrated for him and we're going to miss him for sure.” Meanwhile, scenes around loanDepot Park in Miami indicated a level of seriousness to the situation. After the game, as both team managers and key players participated in news conferences, multiple Puerto Rico staff members paced the hallway outside the clubhouses, many wiping away tears. One was Alexis Díaz, still as distraught as he was on the field. “It sucks,” Molina said. “When you see a guy that works so hard like Edwin, I mean when you see him on the ground like that … it just is sad.” Enrique Hernández was not part of the initial celebration because he was running in from the outfield, along with Eddie Rosario and MJ Melendez. But it didn't take long to realize that something was wrong with one of the team's most vibrant leaders. “Aside from being the best closer in the game right now and being a huge part of this team, Sugar is one of the glue guys in that clubhouse,” Hernandez said. “He's been leading the charge in terms of setting up parties for us in Fort Myers, to start getting together as a team and having a good time and getting to know each other, the guys that don't know each other. Same here, he was one of the guys that set up that big dinner we had last night. He's just a guy that, I mean, I'm just going to put it out there, like he has a really big bank account, but his heart is way bigger than his bank account is.” https://theathletic.com/4315098/2023/03/16/mets-edwin-diaz-injured-wbc/

So I was in the city last night, at an event that I thought would wrap up around 9, allowing me to get back to my comfortable bed in CT some time before midnight. But nooooo, the event ran long and the soonest train I was able to get was the 12:07, which would get me home just before 2 am. So was already kinda pissed off, and then what do I see when I find a seat and start swiping though my phone in search of some mindless internet entertainment? This goddamn news. It makes me wish Big Al had been on my train last night so I could read his post about it here today. Anyway, if Diaz wasn't putting weight on it, the safe bet is that it's a season-ending ACL injury or something like that. Unless he was just choosing not to put weight on it, but that doesn't seem likely to me. So I'm gonna rationalize this by telling myself that there was no way he was ever going to repeat what he did last season, and you don't need to strike everyone out to close out games. It does help, though.

Edgy MD Mar 16 2023 08:57 AM Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern

It seemed to happen in stages. First he seemed stiff coming off the mound and walking toward the catcher. Then, when the first player reaches him for a quick celebratory bump-hug, he's slow to get his right leg behind him to counter the impact, which should be sort of intuitive, and when the leg finally gets back there, he kind of tries to avoid actually planting it solidly. Then, when the scrum starts their minor hopping show, he crumbles seemingly on the first hop. He might have actually done the whole injury on the pitch, and the other things were failed tests.

Ah well no point in speculating until we know what the lie of the land is. I've had footballers not able to walk off the field and able to play the next week. Here's hoping it's a 4-6 week kinda thing and not ruptured ligament style jobbie.

kcmets Mar 16 2023 12:00 PM Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern

I'll take Odd Injuries to Wealthy Metropolitans for $600 please. Answer is, This Met injured his patellar tendon doing the bunny hop. Who is Edwin Diaz? Dingdingdingding... Edwin Díaz will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a right patellar tendon tear, announced Mets general manager Billy Eppler. Brutal. The all-world closer actually suffered a "full thickness" tear of his patellar tendon during a rather innocuous celebration with Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday. It's just bad luck all around. Eppler added that a more specific timeline will be known after the surgery, but the general timetable is around eight months before a return to action, which obviously rules Díaz out for the 2023 season. It's a terrible blow for a Mets team which has World Series aspirations, but now they will have to move ahead with the team that they have, though it's likely they'll look for in-season improvements. For now, David Robertson moves to the forefront for save chances. SOURCE: Mike Puma Mar 16, 2023, 1:37 PM ET

I think that the players in the WBC are insured so the Mets will be reimbursed for Edwin's salary.

Lefty Specialist Mar 16 2023 12:32 PM Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern

Well, that's a gut punch. Cutting and pasting with Robertson and Ottavino is probably where they go. Some other bullpenny types are going to have to step up.

Yeah but now I'm reminded that the Dodger pitcher in that clip only had one more year left in that left arm of his 😑

Edgy MD Mar 16 2023 01:04 PM Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern

I don't think the job goes to anybud. Or, at least, it shouldn't go to anybody right off. Drew Smith, Adam Ottavino, Robertson, John Curtiss ... let 'em all pitch and see whose performance elevates them. David Peterson might walk out of 2023 as the team's save leader.

Edgy MD Mar 16 2023 03:27 PM Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern

Well, while I certainly reject players jumping national teams, Puerto Rico regularly participates on the international athletic stage (The Olympic Games, The Pan-American Games, World Cup Soccer, The Little League World Series, etc.) as a separate entity from The United States.

Since this is about dominant New York relievers, this popped up in my Facebook memories today- October 7, 2016 · The Mets had two Riveras on the field but none in the bullpen. I couldn't figure out what other thread it belonged in. Hurry back, Edwin. Later
