I missed this yesterday, listening to the game on the radio:

Jones rolled his left ankle while scoring in Game 2, but he kept playing. The question is whether he wakes up this morning and the ankle is the size of Bruce Bochy's head.

Roch posted it today on MASN.

Yeah, we were posting about this in the game thread. It did not look good in real time

We can not afford for AJ to be hurt for any length of time.

If I was Buck, I might be tempted to give him the day off today and play Lough in CF, just to be on the safe side.

Apart from the injury, I think giving Adam a day (or two) off during this stretch might be helpful in September and October.

I agree, but AJ is a gamer and likes to play every single inning.

So far it looks like, he has only come out of 2 games early for a total of 2 innings

Since collapsing to the ground after crashing into the wall and hurting his ribcage in Yankee Stadium on May 8th, AJ has managed only 1 HR and 2 doubles out of a total of 19 hits over those 20 games. His last extra base hit was a double on May 17th.

He also suffered that weird ankle roll at the plate a few days ago.

He seems to have no power. He bunts in some situations where he would normally try to drive someone in.

His defense doesn't seem to be affected, thank goodness.

Watching him grind through this, I can't help but be impressed by his fortitude and appreciate his commitment to the team. Hopefully, Paredes and Davis will pick him up a little longer, until he's back up to AJ Normal, a level of play most players never approach.

I'm glad he's on our side.

I think he is injured in several significant ways. He is still our best player.

He looked great on that OF assist to get Laroche. I don't know how you do that if your chest or shoulder is not 100%.

Strikeouts are still down relative to his career, so he does not appear to be cheating to compensate.

He really is as tough as any guy to wear the uniform. Including Cal.

      Holy cow dude. Do you have to mention Quintana in every post you make?

      I think we already have #5 type guys.   We should be aiming higher.

      Sorry to derail the thread. I was having a crap day yesterday when I took it out here. I appreciate the words of support.

      I like this idea.  Maybe he's not ALWAYS the closer, but he has the stuff to be a very good high-leverage guy.

      2023 Top 75 Prospects

      Bucce is one of those guys that finally hit a little bit last year, but didn't get a ton of playing time overall and 20Ks in just 74 PA gives me pause when it doesn't come with any real power. He'll have to make Delmarva next year and we'll see how he does. Anderson DeLos Santos is still a bit interesting and I actually wrote up a quick bio for him before I knocked him off the list: Only 19-years old last season at Delmarva, Del Los Santos didn’t put up all that impressive of numbers including a 104-31 K-BB ratio in 421 PAs. But he has a little pop in the bat and although he made a few too many errors, shows some athleticism at 3B. Probably will need to repeat Delmarva next year at 20-years old but has some tools to work from and worth keeping an eye on. Same thing with Heid: Put up good numbers at AA holding batters to a .185/.280/.265/.545 slash line mostly at Aberdeen. Got a late season callup to Bowie but at 25 years old, he's long in the tooth for a prospect. He's a 91-93 MPH guy with so decent carry and his slider flashes average on occasion wit good depth. The stuff just doesn't suggest he's going to have success at the major league level though. I also did Kade Strowd who got bumped at the end. Kade Strowd: Fastball slider pitcher that sat 94-96 but who can flash 97-98 on occasion. The slider has high spin and late break and can give minor league right-handed hitters fits, but he doesn't have much to defend himself against lefties and his command wavers too often. As for Heid, the stats say he's worth watching, but the age and stuff go "eh". Can't rule him out, but I didn't see anything that suggested major league stuff.

      Robertson on a 1yr/10mil deal seems about the most we can afford. If that’s all we have to spend then I hope we trade for Quintana and put Wells at closer.

      Elias has said he would like someone with closers experience. Not really sure why that matters. I also think they only want a one year option at closer. I get that they expressed interest in Hader, if that’s true, but that really means nothing with this team.
