This shit pisses me off, when I'm trying to handicap a game and I look at the injury list and some star player is on the 10-day DL with a "tight hamstring" or "bruised thumb" or "abdominal tightness" or some shit like: "Cabrera left the last game with a pulled hamstring and his status for Friday is questionable."
If I'm the team owner and I'm paying your ass $12 million a year to play a 3-hour game once a day, I'd be damned if I'd accept you sitting out three or four games for "pulled hamstring." C'mon now, baseball is not that physical. I played three years of baseball in high school and never missed a single game with an injury, and never even missed practice unless I didn't feel like going. How are these guys able to justify these lame-ass "injuries." How do these injuries even happen???? The game is pretty simple and slow. This shit makes capping hard when players are sitting out games.
