Check that run differential.

Quinn to the IL. Hughes on.

Quinn to the IL

Right when he starts playing well. Of course. Ugh.

I am irrationally angry at Quinn for getting hurt all the time.

Playing great actually. Fuck.

I’m pretty sure there’s gotta be something where Quinn is just too fast for his own good. That’s a thing, right? Kind of like steroid users whose muscles get too big for their ligaments and tendons to support naturally and they end up getting injured. Or maybe he just needs to do some yoga or something.

David Robertson has Tommy John surgery and is out all of next season. Shocked!

Geez. So much for Robertson being the rare durable reliever.

And yea...this is why you can't plan on Roman as being anything more than a bench player. He can be very good, but health is a skill and he doesn't have it.

Mess of a signing.

He's not even *that* fast. I bet every eagles cornerback could outsprint him. He's just injury prone. Maybe he has bad running mechanics IDK.

Assuming the Phils buy out his 2021 for $2M, he gets $23M for 7 appearances. Danny Tartabull is somewhere having a laugh

Why didn't he get it months ago?

I have no evidence to back this up but I want to say yes.

It's the stop and go nature of baseball. You stand in the field doing nothing, you stand on base doing nothing, you sit in the dugout doing nothing, bam you're running all out.

He should check in with Jose Reyes for some advice

I think it’s also called Ron Jones Syndrome

A heartbreaking end to my season, but I’m going to work hard to get back and contribute big next year. Thanks for all the support and prayers.

Sure Jan

Quinn ran a 4.2 40-yard dash in high school. He's pretty freakin' fast. Every scouting service gave him an 80 speed grade (out of 80). Also ran a 6.35 60 which is tied for the best time in his graduating class and the year after.

He is the fastest person I've ever seen with my own two eyes

I’m not impressed.
