What's up with oblique strains?
Does anyone else think that there are a lot of oblique strains happening lately? The Bravos' Smith-Shawver suffered one last night and may be out for 2 months? Sean Murphy has yet to play since he strained his in the first week of the season. Max Fried had some issues last year.
Any docs or PTs out there care to comment on why this might be happening? Is it something about the way players train these days? too much of some type of training and/or not enough of another type? Just curious.

Lazy Braves are out of shape
username checks out
Can you imagine Hank Aaron ever sitting out because he tweaked his side muscle? lol
Haha. I didn’t have a choice in being a Bum. I blame my dad.
Seriously though…the Braves strength coach should be fired
coming from a conditioning background, I wonder if there is too much of an emphasis on some body areas and not enough on others. It the obliques are not as strong as surrounding muscles, they may be more susceptible to injury. Just thinking out loud. I think this partly because these injuries seem to occur to players from different positions doing different actions yet getting similar injuries. Or…it's just bad luck. For a while it was knees then ankles for the FB dawgs. Maybe it's just a cyclic thing. Seems odd.
They have a good record on talent alone. Missing some huge pieces from injury, but seems like chemistry is off. No spark, so to say.
I strained my right oblique last week taking down a heavy carry on bag for a pregnant woman…it’s amazing how much the obliques are involved with virtually every move you make. It’s extremely painful and seemingly slow to heal. I can’t imagine pitching, swinging a bat or throwing a baseball with this type of injury!
But you win Citizen of the Week, especially when you included the words heavy and pregnant to your description of that event.
COW - what a weird acronym.
All y'all boys looking fir trouble…
