I think the only worry is guys coming back to earth. Like there's no way Ernie maintains this current form, right?However, sometimes it's like that where you have the unexpected playoffs heroes and maybe he's one of them to get us to the world series.
Yeah, we have to go into the rest of the playoffs with the though of Bo done for the season. Then, we have to hope we can get a good deal for Bo. I think his FA market is strange due to his defence is a bit shaky.
Yeah there is no guarantee that the Blue Jays offense will dominate the mariners pitchers just like they dominated the Yankees pitchers. Unfortunately great performance in a previous playoff series =/= same performance in the next playoff series. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Playoff performance in each round of the major league Baseball playoffs is always on a case to case basis
And Even if Bo can slowly run around the field…he won’t be able to run at full speed and make turns to play baseball. He won’t be able to dive, jump, read plays, make catches and make defensive plays as a shortstop infielder. His swing, ability to make contact at the plate during at-bats , mobility, agility, and footwork will be significantly affected.
If he’s trying to force himself to play despite not being healthy again, he might destroy his entire career and cost himself hundreds of millions of dollars in future earnings.
And I think it’s quite obvious that he wants to play so bad, that’s why he’s out there running the bases with a torn knee during practice, when in any other situation (like the regular season), he’d be out another month with no activity.
He’s just still very injured, it’s unfortunate but it’s the reality. And if we’re honest, his Complete recovery is 2 months away and that’s only if he’s lucky. I don’t mind if he’s done for the year anyway , I want him healthy and functional at 100% for next season. I think The rest of the team will pick up the slack this year.
Silver lining of his injury : the Blue Jays front office/Atkins will have serious leverage during contract negotiations during the offseason. This is a good situation for us because we might sign Bo long term but at a cheaper price. His defensive flaws and his injury/ health history will deter teams from giving him the sun, the galaxy, the moon and the stars.
