Ugh, Bret Lindros. What a disgrace. Perhaps the highlight of his career is fighting with his brother Eric in a game vs. the Flyers.

I hope he does return to the field soon because he is my favorite player besides wright and reyes but he needs to be at 100% the next time he gets on the field. yea I remember thinking the second i saw that play “he is definitely going on the DL”. anyone remember the camera shot of him when he was carried off the field? he looked like he had glass eyes. having had a few concussions I can tell you that they are quite scary. for one after I had my first one i felt fine for a day and then had these headaches that made my head feel like it was going to pop. the second one wasn’t as bad as my first (as it seems was the case with church) but the effects lasted a lot longer.

For Church's sake (whether with the Mets, or another team) let's hope that this doesn't become an issue that becomes a part of his career.

You look at players like Troy Aikman (obviously a much more physical sport) and see that once you get a concussion, you'll probably get another. I actually said this when he got his first one that they should let him take his time getting back. One collision in the outfield, running into the wall, etc. could be disastrous. I understand he's been probably the most consistent player all year, but thinking long term they should have DLed him. I totally agree.

There is no set amount of recovery time for a concussion (after a couple of days, at least). There are no x-rays to look at on whether or not the concussion has "healed." Church does get the final say on whether or not he's ready to go and what he's capable of doing...doctors are not mind readers. This was not mishandled at all.

You always hear how doctors/scientists really don’t know a whole lot about them, but I think history shows us a few things: 1. Once you have one, you are probably going to get another, and it will probably be an issue for the rest of your career 2. It doesn’t take much of a hit to trigger another 3. You should never go back to playing until you are clear of all symptoms for at least a week. The Mets should have DL’ed him because it was his second concussion in around two months. Of course the player is going to say he’s fine, you can’t make that the deciding factor. As for the doctors, you can probably get any opinion you want if you go through enough of them.
