Not considered serious. 10 comments


 

This was an afterthought in Sunday’s Dallas Morning News Briefly section: Matt Moore felt some soreness behind his right knee during workouts Saturday and ended up sitting out fielding drills. The injury is not considered serious.

The injury is not considered serious.

Uh oh.

How many times have fans heard that phrase uttered? That is usually the precursor to a long, extended stay on the disabled list, just like, We have no intention of changing managers at this time, is, in every case, followed soon by a managerial firing.

The injury is not considered serious.

Just like last spring Adrian Beltre’s leg injury was not considered serious before he missed the first two months of the season. Same with Cole Hamels’s tightness in the oblique. It was not considered serious before he, too, missed two months of the season.

It will be interesting to see how much time Matt Moore misses.
