Oh No Oh No Oh No (Machado injured)

[The Wedge]

This was different from Davis hurting his leg earlier in the year running hard to 1b to beat out a throw. Manny was kind of pulling up and wasn't going full speed. It was kind of a routine play. When players are tired and over worked they tend to have freak injuries more. See Kobe's achilles injury. I blame Buck.

I blame the cleat he caught. Oh, wait, did Buck plan that?

I hope you are being sarcastic. Betemit injured his knee in Spring Training.

BREAKING: Orioles to seal Hunter Harvey in a ginormous plastic bubble

I hate Law sometimes.

Way too soon for that remark to be even remotely funny.

Hopefully he will be OK. The kid on Louisville's basketball team that had the hard to watch injury in the tournament will be back playing this year for them.

I tore my left ACL, badly, had surgery (they harvested a piece of my hamstring and used that to replace the ligament; also had microfracture for some previous meniscus damage). Started PT 2 weeks after and was running (straight line, no cutting) in 3 months. Admittedly, I'm no world class athlete like Manny and didn't push my knee to the limits he does, but I was also 47 at the time, so if it is a torn ACL, there's hope he could be back sooner than some people fear; all depends on the extent of the damage.

This feels like a kick to the gut.

Just saw the picture in this thread of him in a strectcher. I am no doctor but I don't think I have ever seen someone have carted off on a stretcher for an acl/mcl. It also looked like it was in some kind of temperary cast. Makes me think something is broken. Could be a tear also i guess. If it has to be something a break is easier to come back from then an tear.

The way he was taken off the field worries me as well. I hate to speculate, but it could be a lot worse than an ACL. I don't even care about wins and losses right now, I just feel so bad for Manny and I hope it was not as bad as it looked.

When do you think we find out whats wrong?

[Ommaculate]

If that's a ACL he wont play in 2014.

What about RG3? He tore ACL and PCL 8 months ago and he's a starting quarterback.

I love all the Doc's on here. Instant diagnosis.

Could be a day or so before the swelling goes down enough for tests to be fully effective.

Me I am hoping it is a re-occurrence of his kneecap issue.

Yeah, and everyone is saying he's not the same, too. Not the greatest example to use.

Yeah, we've seen nfl players walk off the field with blown ACL's - including Lardarius Webb. I haven't seen it, but it sounds bad.

One thing though - remember Roberts' gruesome elbow dislocation? He was fine in the spring. Point being maybe it's not as bad as it looks.
