00:00Roman Anthony last night coming out of the game in Detroit after taking a swing.
00:05X-ray is negative, but that means nothing.
00:08Tendon, ligament damage, hard to figure in an X-ray.
00:11That's why you go for an MRI.
00:11He's back in Boston seeing a hand specialist.
00:14Maz, your thoughts?
00:14Yeah, not good.
00:15I mean, again, first thing I thought, it was a handmaid injury.
00:18It's an easy one.
00:19Common thing, the knob of the back kind of rests in the bone at the bottom of the wrist.
00:22And a lot of guys have trouble with that bone to the point where it has to get replaced or
00:26removed.
00:27There's a bone there, a piece of the bone they can take out to eliminate the problem.
00:31But it's a surgery.
00:32I like Murray's question, the one that he put in the email.
00:35Go ahead, Murray.
00:36Some of this have to do with these driveline a-holes because there's been a lot of injuries to guys
00:42in the lineup
00:42because the emphasis that these driveline grifter a-holes put on launch angle, bat speed.
00:48And the way to achieve that is what?
00:50Swinging hard, right?
00:51So going back a couple of years, Raphael Devers, March of 2024.
00:552024, Devers hurt his shoulder, hitting off a pitching machine during spring training.
00:59Tristan Kassas, one of his many injuries, coming out of a game against Pittsburgh, April 2024.
01:04After fouling off a 3-1 pitch, left him wincing in pain.
01:08Injury had started for him in his first at-bat in a game against the Guardians three days earlier.
01:12Marcelo Meyer, last July, felt a little tight grab in my wrist when I took a swing in my second
01:18at-bat.
01:18At Roman Anthony, last September, one of his now many injuries, Roman Garoppolo,
01:23exited the game in September 2025, bottom of the fourth inning, left oblique tightness after striking out.
01:29Said he felt initial tightness on a check swing during the at-bat.
01:32Tristan Kassas, again, this past April, shut down, swinging because of sore ribs.
01:37Christian Campbell, last May.
01:38And now Roman Anthony, again.
01:40I think it could be something.
01:41Again, these driveline grifter a-holes want you to focus on launch angle, bat speed.
01:48How do you achieve that?
01:49Swing hard.
01:51Swinging hard, I would think, probably leads to more injuries.
