It goes back at least to last season. And people call it a transparency issue but I disagree. They have Joe Espada trying to give medical updates. He isn't a doc or a trainer. He makes errors, it isn't his area. Same with Brown. Just publish a list and don't take questions. 1/
The whole thing is a self inflicted wound.
I have to be honest. I don't care about medical updates.
I mean to say: I don't care what they say to whom. What really matters is whether guys are physically ready to play once they are reactivated.
I don't generally think I do either, though I get curious like everybody else. What I mean to say is that the Astros can't be outraged when they bungle communications and then people conclude incompetence. That's universal.
I guess, but all I said was that I have no reason to personally conclude that the return to play is systemically broken, and more to the point, that I hope that the lack of a move is a positive sign for the pitchers currently working their way back.
I choose to believe the vibes are high.
This is such a stupid Power of Friendship team this year that nothing will surprise me.
Then let's win the whole fuckin' thing.
