He did something constructive in the midst of all this stupidity. Good for him.

Mike Elias has repeatedly said that Kherstad missed camp due to a non-baseball medical issue.  If he used his recovery time to earn his degree, good for him.

Who knows really? It seems awfully strange that a young man, knowing there would be an instructs, after missing his first partial pro season, would choose to finish his degree over attending. The kid

I got curious what Kjerstad was majoring in at U. of Arkansas.   It’s Recreation and Sports Management.   https://catalog.uark.edu/undergraduatecatalog/collegesandschools/collegeofeducationandhealthprofessions/recreationandsportmanagementresm/

Perhaps he wants to analyze the different types of turf at opposing stadiums? Or is that more vegetation management?

There is really no such thing as absolute knowledge because even if someone knows everything to know, which is impossible, someone would come up with a new something that was unknown before.   If the previous comments were a knock on Kjerstad  because he is finishing his formal education, that is a very sad commentary on  this society.

I'm sorry, but that just cracked me up after reading the other poster's rant about his education that will "last for a lifetime".

      Adley's health this season

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
