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

Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

https://theathletic.com/4315098/2023/03 ... jured-wbc/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.”
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

From the other thread, but this is where I'm at.
And who let that wild boar onto the field to help celebrate anyways?
Sunny imaging results ahead...

Re: Edwin Diaz Leg Thread of Much Concern
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.

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.

24 skiddoo.
Let's see what Cohen's ginormous wallet brings in at the trade deadline to compensate. This might cost the Mets prospects.
