    Pretty much. Although, it is the same injury that Alex Cobb went down with, and he sure wasn't ineffective at the time.

    Is there any chance Veras IS really hurt? The injury referenced was an oblique strain, which usually comes from over use...and Veras wasn't being used at all. I just don't understand, if he's not really injured and we're going to lose 100 games anyway, why not keep throwing him out there and let him work through it?

    I've had enough of Barney forever. Bring back Bobby Scales.

    Then maybe when the guy that we get in return gets good, we can trade him too!

    He's just never going to be a high OBP guy. I don't care. Let him post a 320 OBP if he's matching that with a 450 SLG and better defense. Also he's STILL just a kid.

    Looks like Veras was cool with the fake injury after all. I'm honestly curious if he ever makes it back on the 25 man roster at this point. Bigger waste, Veras or Scott Baker? Oh god, Baker by a mile. I really do think Veras is injured - he's never been anywhere close to this ineffective during his career. Also unlike Baker, he still has some value when he returns. We should all hope he does in fact come back and have some success, so we can possibly trade him.

    I'm praying for San Jose assuming we make it past St Louis and Colorado. Still don't think we win a cup last year if we get Anaheim instead of Detroit. You don't even believe that yourself. It's ok to be concerned, but any Hawks fan at this point believes they're capable of anything at any time. Resilient bunch of [expletive]. Also the hawks are 2-0-1 against the ducks this year.

    186/250/436 vs RHP be still my heart

    I'm still really scared of Anaheim. I doubt that they'd meet, obviously, but teams like Columbus scare me too. Bruising teams that dump and chase.

    I seriously love Valbuena.
  14. DiamondMind
    Want to just talk about the Blackhawks instead guys?
  15. DiamondMind
    Maybe he's just not good enough that we should care whether he gets that playing time. Then bring up Bryant. It's an insult to my intelligence that they act like they're protecting some elite talent with Olt. Throw him to the wolves or stop pretending he's still a prospect. Right?
  16. DiamondMind
    Regardless Olt should be in there every [expletive] day, period, and put Valbuena at second. I'm sick of this "setting him up for success" [expletive]. What Renteria is setting him up for is stagnation or even regression. This is a 100 loss team, and Olt is 25 years old. He won't improve in a platoon at this age.
  17. DiamondMind
    Olt seems to constantly be behind 0-2 or 1-2 in the count. I'd like to see him be more aggressive early in the count, but he seems to NOT make contact a lot. I don't know what I'm talking about with mechanics, but it appears to my untrained eye that his swing is incredibly long. He also kind of swings down and then up, like a loop, instead of a quick compact stroke. I would assume this leads to swinging over the top of a lot of breaking balls. He seems to be able to adjust to different speeds, but any breaking movement and he just can't make contact. that's a long way of saying I agree with you, he should start looking more first pitch fastball.

    At least the Edwards MRI came back ok - no structural damage

    Olt....18K's, 2BB's.....not a good sign
