Different sport, but the Yankees lost their 'uber prospect', 20 year old CF Jasson Dominguez to a torn UCL yesterday. How does a twenty year old centerfielder blow out his UCL?

My guess is the overtraining and overdevelopment of his body pushing his ligaments is how.

Overuse is the most likely cause of a baseball injury like this. (Not saying that these other issues may haven't contributed as well.) Dominguez signed as a 16 year old out of the Dominican. I'm surmising, but I bet that Dominguez likely pitched and/or played shortstop in his early teens. Couple that with playing year round in DR and you have the recipe for this injury.

While I really feel for Dobbins, Hill did look good on some runs and he is a good receiver out of the backfield, so the situation could be worse.

I have no doubt that most baseball players are still jacked up on PED's but have mastered the art of hiding a positive test result. Posing on stage as a bodybuilder is one thing but when musculature is so advanced while playing sports, it just does a number on joints, tendons and ligaments.

MLB baseball players and NFL football players can afford the best PEDs and masking agents that money can buy. I'm quite sure that the use of PEDs is widespread in both sports.

Cincinnati played a way worse game, so could be an ugly week 2 matchup.

Cleveland has their number. It was also poor weather. Burrow plays well at home against us. At times our defense struggled to contain a rookie QB playing his first game. I don’t have high hopes of winning this game.

As long as all 6 players(JK, Marlon, Andrews, Linderbaum, Williams and of course JK) are not out, I think we see a much better game against Cincy.

 

I think the Ravens kept things close to the vest against Houston.

 

Week 1 is the great over reaction week from fans.  We will see what week 2 brings.
