Was able to run and squat within days. However, you don't gain 100% mobility and will take a long time to get all strength back. Months. If not longer. Especially for a baseball player.
I don't think Votto is back, even now, to where he was before the injury, maybe 70-80%! Anybody hear when Bruce hurt himself? I think about a week or so ago I remember him fooling with his knee after had run to 3B.sherm03;1612596 wrote:My buddy tried to reassure me saying that if Votto can come back from a knee injury, so can Bruce. My response: "Great...so Bruce will be useless the rest of this season...have half his power next year...and will be back to normal in 2016?"
I could literally sprint in 4 days. Swelling was frequent, but there was minimal pain. The problem is, the mental discomfort and mobility will affect him longer than 3 weeks. It will hurt the team. That's why I said whether he's a professional or no, it may not matter in the grand scheme of things. The procedure is routine. He'll be playing within 3 weeks possibly. He just won't be 100%. Remember Votto's meniscus tear? He hasn't been able to drive the ball the same since. My comment was basically that for an already struggling offense, this team needs Bruce to have his typical 30/100/40 doubles. He was already struggling, and I HIGHLY DOUBT after this he will post anywhere near that the rest of 2014.SportsAndLady;1612614 wrote:You aren't a professional athlete.

Exactly. People downplay this injury because you can get back to playing so quickly. However, it can take years to get back to having zero mobility, flexibility or mental limitations with your knees. It's gotta be frustrating as an athlete too because expectations are that if you're on the field/court, you should be who you have been.mhs95_06;1612619 wrote:I don't think Votto is back, even now, to where he was before the injury, maybe 70-80%!

Has to be Ruben Gotay. Only major league caliber player in Louisville, or close.thavoice;1612672 wrote:Another hit to this squad.
Maybe they will do what they did when Votto was gone....doubt it.
Sat was at a sporting goods store and some lady bought 4 Reds hoodies and she said her son played for Louisville and was going to be called up for the boston series and they were going.
At first I thought that was odd, but with having the DH maybe they were going to bring up a position player/hitter for the series.
Oh well.
Good to win 3 of 4. Couple of off days now this week. Gotta keep it going and not fall far behind whle guys are hurt
I checked out their roster and thought maybe LaMarr since he is on the 40 man, but he is on the 7 day DL and I was assuming he was a position player.Azubuike24;1612692 wrote:Has to be Ruben Gotay. Only major league caliber player in Louisville, or close.
Buddy of mine said that too, but it was before Pena got hurt and I would imagine she would have reds gear already.SportsAndLady;1612705 wrote:Maybe it was corky millers mom
