Eerily reminds me of Ben Revere or the Denard Span years when he was injured. Opening Day, right out of the gate, immediate slump. Effects the rest of the offense.Ole PBNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-53044213977393653852018-03-01T11:05:15.702-08:002018-03-01T11:05:15.702-08:00Warren M - Hopefully I won't have to.

Twist my arm and I'd put a before/after bet date of Mid May. I guess you hope Difo/Kendrick are covering well enough that he gets here when he gets here. <br /><br />Ole PBN - not to mention he wasn't a paragon of health before the shoulder stuff. If there was something to fix in surgery though I'd have to think they'd have done it. There is a lot of time left in the Nats control of Koda so there's no reason to be anything but cautious. Especially given the Kintzler, Madson, Doolittle actually functioning pen you set up. But I worry too that he's never going to be healthy. <br /><br />Anon - give him the ol' Zimmerman cortisone shot special in September and tell him we'll give him a sweetheart 2-year contract extension if he gets the Nats to the series <br />Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-43483456218005180862018-03-01T10:32:28.344-08:002018-03-01T10:32:28.344-08:00Personally, I think most Nats fans would be fine w...Personally, I think most Nats fans would be fine with Murphy rounding into form around September...

Not necessarily because I think hes an impact player (that's Murphy/Eaton). But because this does not look good. Seems like he is destined for some sort of shoulder/elbow surgery. I'd just rather him go under the knife now instead of sit all year, then pitch 2 innings in late July, only to go on the DL again, try to make a comeback late in the season, misses the remainder of the season, then finally gets surgery in January, putting him out for all of 2019. His situation looks like a snowball rolling down a mountain. A shame too, as I've seen this with way too many players at all levels where they have a chronic injury and opt for the rehab/strengthen route. Just puts off eventual surgery.Ole PBNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-26325158236195094402018-03-01T10:06:15.142-08:002018-03-01T10:06:15.142-08:00The issue for Murphy will be how far behind everyo...The issue for Murphy will be how far behind everyone else and how much more time will it take to round into midseason form.
