Inability to turn double plays

Schoop

Schoop was the best 2B in the AL at turning the DP last season.

Cost us two games just this last week. And with the unrepaired PCL, Schoop will never be Schoop again that way.

But, just because he has surgery, mean, he won't still be a dynamo at turning the DP.

First I have heard of that. Do you have any comps or insight? Horrible news if true.

Just what a PCL does. No. I am not a Dr. I just figured it was a bad injury for a middle infielder.

During knee joint movement, the PCL rotates such that the anterolateral section stretches in knee flexion but not in knee extension and the posteromedial bundle stretches in extension rather than flexion.

The function of the PCL is to prevent the femur from sliding off the anterior edge of the tibia and to prevent the tibia from displacing posterior to the femur. The posterior cruciate ligament is located within the knee

He did not have surgery.

What was said about Darwin Barney's PCL injury. His may have been worse.

The PCL attaches behind the knee on the tibia and goes to the medial (inner) side of the central notch on the femur. The ligament prevents posterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur above and also provides central rotational stability. Here is an excellent 3D modeling video of the PCL including how the ligament works in flexion and extension of the knee. The Anterior Cruciate (ACL) attaches to the anterior tibial spine near the front of the knee and goes to the lateral (outer) part of the femoral notch. The ligaments cross (hence, cruciate) each other and protect and stabilize the knee when working in tandem from excess rotation and translation.

I don't know anything about Barney's defense before or after, but I don't see anything there about long term implications.

I'm not that worried about it. It was only a partial tear.

I find this hard to believe. Schoop is still young enough to have an injury like this, rehab it until he's back to normal, and still be fearless when turning the double play.

Sound good. I guess I was just going all Firestone with my hand wringing.

We all get in that mode sometimes.

Which is why some of us dont have much hair left.

Wait, how does Roy have a full set?

Can you put that in your own words? Do you have any idea what exactly the PCL does, that would prevent him from turning the DP?
