Take a Break, Skip….for the Team’s Sake

[rickh150]

Our skip just had back surgery. Trying to be tough is one thing. Kudos. There is merit in trying to STILL be there and show these Brewers what it means to play thru it, grind, tough it out, and rub some dirt on it.

But then again.., yeah,…it became much more than simple back surgery, if there is such a thing. The meds have undoubtedly worn down dramatically from Friday and he’s gotta be in some pain. And traveling now is not welcomed. And it could be made worse if he doesn’t properly take care of himself.  Sitting out the next half month seems right and maybe shoot to join the team after the All Star break.

Moreover, did anyone see or hear from him today? I probably missed it. Like I said, Friday he could be loosy goody from operation meds.  Today is likely much different.
