Just when you thought the ghosts of 2018 injuries past couldn’t get dumber, I’ll just leave this here:
Buster Posey had a microfracture in his hip that the Giants didn’t know about until he went in for surgery. Prevented him from firing his hips while swinging.

I’m not laughing at Buster Posey’s pain, far from it, but I am laughing. The kind of laughing you have to do to keep yourself from crying. How...how do you not spot this? Did he not have a single x-ray or MRI done? They knew his hip was hurting - did they just spot the labrum damage and assume that was it? Were they trying to diagnose his injuries with a magic 8-ball?
And yet they had him play well after they knew he was injured. For reasons.
I mean, we’re basically lucky his leg didn’t fall off.
That’s probably a bit unfair, I’m not a doctor and I’m no expert on the human hip. I’m told that they do not lie, but THAT SEEMS ITSELF TO BE A LIE! It seems kind of ridiculous that a franchise player of a major sports team with access to the finest medical care was playing with an un-diagnosed fracture for Mays knows how long. When I think back on the 2018 season, this may be the only thing I remember now.
