kolten wong returns from paternity leave

[djoctagone]

expect kolten wong to be activated a day or two after the all-star break.

[markedman5]

He’s back!

 

[djoctagone]

for those who may have missed it, kolten wong and his wife are expecting their first child. he may go on paternity leave as soon as today.

[bork]

So it seems like Escobar will replace Wong on the active roster.

I opened the thread about paternity leave and the first post was about a strained oblique, to which I thought that would be a more realistic injury for his wife.

I think we are all disappointed in Kolten's lack of discipline. Everybody knows you don't have sex November to February to avoid a birth during the stretch run (no pun intended).

I would expect an ex Cardinal player to know that unwritten rule...

Which begs the odd question. Like other seasonal jobs, are most births 9 months from the off-season?

I realize the post was in jest, and I'm not passing judgement on Kolten, however....

 

I'd like to think if I were a MLB player, were married, and my wife and I were wanted to have a child, that we would try to time conception for an offseason birth. Or at least not a September/October birth. I realize folks don't work that way and that there are a million other variables. But I would definitely try to avoid that scenario if possible.

Some people are unbelievable. You don’t get to plan births. As someone who has had a hard time to even have a child, it’s pretty disgusting to even see this bull crap. He misses a couple of games, oh well.

[AKCheesehead]

I think you ought to calm down, Brew. I only said what I personally would do if I were in MLB, while acknowledging that it is not what I expect of others. If that offended or disgusted you, I'm sorry for not being sorry.

And there wasn’t an ounce of serious in my post.

Or, you know, you could be empathetic to other people's situations. Not to mention, this is a really odd line of conversation. Some things are considerably more important that a job, even if that job is as a professional athlete.

I'm guessing most ballplayers do just that. mother nature doesn't always cooperate.

Suggestion - use the sarcasm font when there isn't an ounce of seriousness to your post.

[djoctagone]

the brewers have placed kolten wong on the paternity list.

[djoctagone]

kolten wong is eligible to be activated tomorrow.

[djoctagone]

kolten wong is eligible to be activated tomorrow.

craig counsell says that they might place kolten wong on a different emergency leave list, so it's not a foregone conclusion that wong is activated today.

Wong should take as long as he needs. Crew will be fine. And lots of time to stay sharp for postseason.

I don't subscribe to the Athletic, so I can't get far enough into the article. Hope nothing's wrong with the newborn li'l Wong

The story doesn't go into anymore detail. Just that Wong may go on another list "if needed".

Fair enough. Respect the man and his family's privacy. Like I said, I hope that all is well with their new baby.

Right. This is certainly a time when the Brewers could use Wong, especially with Adames out. But there are things that obviously take precedence, and this is certainly one of those situations. Plus Jace is doing a fine job as a "poor man's" version of Kolten.

Wong Reinstated. Lopes optioned.
