Glad it’s just the 7 day precautionary DL. If no more symptoms crop up and he stops with the headaches, light sensitivity and dizziness, then we’ll see him next week. We need this guy to be healthy. Hope Jose Bautista gets back from posing with his daughter real soon. We need that bat real bad.

I hear it’s a good sign that he felt all the effects of the concussion soon after the injury.

Hope Yuniel feels better soon, we’re a better team with him for sure. Johnny Mac can fill in defensively, but the bat is another matter.

Looked a lot like Morneau into McDonald’s knee. Afterwards, when he was fielding @ short he was clearly uncomfortable; blinking, twisting his head, popping his jaw, shaking his head, and shrugging a lot. The he started to sweat and feel hot; took his hat off and fanned himself. That was really difficult to watch. If lawyers get upset when they get news of the Bonds trial then they’ll understand that’s about the same feeling for me when I saw what Escobar looked like in the field. I don’t think he’ll be back for a while. Good luck to him.
