That surprised me as well And I’m sure a lot of people with him stealing 59 bases this year are a little surprised this did not happen sooner
When you run a lot, you very often end up with chewed up hands, wrists, and jammed, elbows and shoulders. And a fair amount of road rash on your butt and thighs.
His senior year my son stole 56 straight bases and by the time the season was over, he looked like he had been either in a car wreck and thrown through the windshield or lost a fight with a wood chipper
Ohtani's only focus was strictly offense this (obvious). I think he got caught up in the hysteria of the HR / SB record. You don't need a guy like that stealing.
Angels instructed Trout to keep his stolen base attempts down to avoid injury.
Yeah but this was an odd situation. I got it during the year. But you’re ahead 4-1. At that point, the Yankees had been one hit for the whole game. Frankly just stand on first base and if someone hits it out of the park home otherwise just watch your bullpen get sick out. I think it was coach that wrote, he thought it was a curious decision and I agree.
Won’t be out for the Series . Doesn’t have to throw. Or field. They can shoot him full of painkillers and he has tomorrow off. Might miss Monday. Had it happen to me one karate tournamet when I decided to be creative and do judo. Guy had me locked up so I decided to leap over him in a flip and land and turn and knock him out. Like you see in the movies. Never mind that I’d never done it. So I made a great leap. Flipped and turned in the air. Except the guy never let go of my wrist. Man did that hurt hahahaha. Lesson. Don’t do judo when you’re supposed to be doing karate. Ripped that arm right out.
As I recall having it popped back in hurt worse than the initial injury. Oh and I lost the match by default. lol. Still bugs.
Don’t remember how long I was out but if they’d shot me full of painkillers I’d have gone right back out !!
Easy to second guess, but, not sure I would have Ohtani running in nthat situation.

Absolutely gave the game a different feel
Broken wrist on throwing hand?
