Health: Duaner is Sore, Should Pitch Today
As noted yesterday, Duaner Sanchez was scratched from yesterday’s game with what Omar Minaya and Willie Randolph called ‘normal soreness.’
Randolph told reporters that Sanchez will likely pitch today, instead, as he needed an extra day or rest.
…forgive me, but i feel like i have seen this movie before…
…which is why, despite willie downplaying it, i’m worried…
…speaking of downplaying, i often wonder if willie would be better served over-playing these things some times…i’m speaking in theory of course, because i realize that if he came out and said, ‘Duaner is in pain, it’s more than just soreness, he’ll be out for a week,’ we’d all lose our freaking minds…as would reporters, who would flock to sanchez and clobber him with unnecessary questions…the thing is, if willie over-hyped the pain, but then duaner unexpectedly strolled out today, pitched well, and looked great, wow, he’d be a healthy hero instead of frail concern…
…instead, willie downplayed the situation, suggesting duaner could pitch today…so, if duaner doesn’t pitch today, then our collective worry will only increase…making it worse for every one…
