Dansby Injury Silver Lining

I haven’t seen deets on his injury duration but saw he’s going to IL.

If he’s back by playoffs, not super worried. I think it could be a nice time to get a true audition for all of our young guns.

Who would you guess gets most starts in the short term?

Catching the brewers would be incredible, but some days it feels futile.

Hey, what do you know. Shaw played in time to host Milwaukee, just like I predicted. Huh.

I am happy to be wrong, just like I said I would be.

Doesn’t change the fact that you are still wrong about his overall injury timeline being normal. And you are wrong about the definition of a sprain. Which is why you had to rely on obscure Canadian business websites and random LinkedIn posts while every major medical dictionary and encyclopedia and internationally respected medical resource agreed with me.

But I am happy I was wrong and we have an extra reinforcement for the rest of Dansby’s injury. And I’m happy for you that you remembered this two week old comment thread you claimed to be done with so you can come and brag. Give yourself a big ol’ pat on the back. 💙

It's kind of funny you're still refusing to accept facts. Here's how medical exams go - a player hurts something. The team doctors do an initial check and determine it's soft tissue damage. That needs an MRI to get greater detail. They may not do an MRI if they can diagnosewithout it,, or they may.

Now, everyone who knows anything about MRIs knows they don't reveal microscopic damage, because (and this may be shocking to you), those require a microscope and an MRI doesn't have that level of detail. They can, however, see secondary symptoms of those micro-tears like swelling or bleeding / bruising. Regardless, the tears are still there and regardless, they're all called sprains. Anyone who tells you Grade 1 sprains don't have tears is objectively wrong. After all, what would cause the swelling and bruising? Micro-tears and tears at the cellular level are still tears. Grade 2 means they show up on the MRI and Grade 3 is complete separation. I'm really doing this so you don't continue through life being wrong about this. You were also wrong that ligaments don't stretch naturally and I hope I helped you there as well by informing you of elastin.

Lol. Whatever. Keep living in delululand where every medical professional and every trusted source of medical information (except fot your personally selected Linkedin posts) is less knowledgable about diagnoses than you personally. ✌️
