    1) How long should Arenado be out?

    2) Will Rutledge play everyday, perhaps with LeMahieu moving to 3B? Or will Rutledge and Culberson split time?

      they pulled Rutledge from his Triple A game last night, so a lock that he is coming up. but they don't seem to have decided whether to play Culberson at 3B or Rutledge at 2B.

        Sliding head first, who could have seen an injury coming from that? When will these clowns learn?

          Bummer - he's been playing some pretty damn good baseball too. Oh well, broken middle finger is at least not something that should impact him much once it's healed in a few weeks.

            it will be interesting to see what weiss does with lemahieu, culberson, and rutledge. unfortunately, they're all right-handed hitters, so there is no natural platoon.

              It's been a thing since at least the days of Pete Rose, but it seems like there are way more injuries from it now than there used to be.

                kids don't practice sliding as much as they used to any more, either head-first or feet-first. it's remarkable the number of simply terrible slides you see watching games, so it doesn't surprise me when they get injured doing it.

                  4-to-6 weeks, assuming he doesn't need surgery to insert a pin.

                      The helicopter parenting method doesn't allow kids to do anything that might get them even a bit dinged up (or dirty), so the kids try to emulate the big leaguers in games and get really hurt because they haven't practiced it.

                      That's bad enough, but even in HS, college, and the minors, they don't work at it. The fact that tools are valued more highly than skills nowadays leads to this, too. Sometimes I think MLB is trending towards the NBA--not in the suits deciding winners, but in the emphasis on individuals over team results. "Chicks dig the long ball" and all that.

                      Back when I played, speed was my only offensive attribute, so I worked on my slides, 95% of them feet-first. Never got hurt sliding, either. Today, of course, if I were to try it, I'd tear or break something every time.

                        The new solution, at least for today, is Cuddyer to third and Stubbs in the outfield. Man it would be nice to be able to play Cuddyer at third.
                        In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

                          My God, he's a BRUTAL 3rd baseman, absolutely brutal. The Twins tried him there and he simply couldn't cut it...don't sit on the 1st base side today.
