The thing that bites goat ass is that the Yankmes have zero pitching until the back of the bullpen...the Tribe picked this series to not have it either.
Michael Brantley starts rehab assignment tomorrow evening at Class A Mahoning Valley, where he's expected to play about 5 innings in OF. Indians continue to maintain that his problem since May has been right biceps tendinitis for which he got a cortisone injection last month while getting a second opinion from the Texas Rangers' ortho doc.
Which leads me to a couple questions: is the Tribe's medical staff, in house and at the Cleveland Clinic, so bad that they could not tell the difference between Brantley's prior shoulder issues and this new biceps problem and they had to send him to Texas to find out what was going on? Or does Brantley and/or his agent lack trust in the Tribe's medical people and insisted on going elsewhere? I don't recall the Indians ever sending a player to this Texas doc, so I wonder if Brantley's advisors came up with him?
Meanwhile, the Indians report Salazar has "mild elbow discomfort" and won't pitch at the All Star game.
I do not understand this rest shit. Now if they were construction workers maybe I could understand them getting tired if they did that type of work every day for what those guys get paid. Baseball players get paid millions of dollars and they do not even work an eight hour day and they get tired physically and mentally. That is a bunch of crap.
