YANKEE MEDICAL SLACKERS ON NOTICE AFTER RIZZO'S "SUSPECTED" CONCUSSION REVEALED

There is no question that a head injury is serious.  What I really don't get in the whole Anthony Rizzo concussion charade is why Yankee doctors did not follow through with any of it after it happened when he was really struggling at the plate, like in June... like in the beginning of July. Why did it take so long if it was serious? Why only after Anthony Rizzo came forward to say that he was a little foggy did actual physicians do anything?  Being a doctor is a pretty important job. You are making or breaking a person's life. Where were they all this time? It was only until Rizzo complained that they ran tests on him to determine his reaction time was off.  Anyone seeing that something's missing here? 

I remember when Frankie Montas comes over to the Yankees.  Of course, a physical was needed to determine if the move would actually take place, but the Yankees apparently got a clean bill of health and Frankie Montas came over to the Yankees only the suck an egg and be hurt.  And here's the kicker... HE WAS HURT WHEN HE CAME OVER TO THE YANKEES! Again... What happened in the time that the trade was verbally agreed on and Frankie putting on pinstripes are we missing here?

And pardon me for NOT believing the Yankees and this whole Rizzo charade at the jump.  As more information comes out today, I am more at ease and feeling for Rizzo, but it does not excuse what the hell our New York Yankee physicians have been doing all this time.

Why isn't there a magnifying class on Yankee medical staff?  I guess I have to ask the question that no one is asking; IS ANYBODY WORKING OVER THERE IN THE BRONX?

Here's what we know about Rizzo. The Sporting News writes (after the tweet):

The #Yankees believe Anthony Rizzo's post-concussion syndrome diagnosis originated from a collision with Fernando Tatis Jr. on May 28th—he passed MLB's concussion protocol at the time and was cleared to play—Rizzo will be evaluated week-to-week... pic.twitter.com/GxvPuBnDY4

"Rizzo hit the IL Thursday with a suspected concussion from a two-month-old injury, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

The injury is officially being called post-concussion syndrome stemming from a May 28 collision with Fernando Tatis Jr., and Rizzo will be evaluated weekly to determine his status. According to Boone, Rizzo was "complaining a little bit the last few days of some fogginess."

As a result, the team ran tests that found "cognitive impairment," which led to Rizzo being shelved for the time being.

Boone added Rizzo "went through MLB -- like all the testing -- immediately (after the Tatis collision) and then the days after to rule that stuff out past that."

Now I'm gonna tell you something. If this is that serious, why the hell are we hearing from Aaron Boone about this, because I have to tell you, if you see Boone's quote, they ran the tests and nothing was wrong.  That's why Rizzo was playing. That's why he's not been able to hit and so, I'll ask the question again...

IS ANYBODY WORKING OVER THERE IN THE BRONX?  Every fan could see trouble with Rizzo... in June... in July. No one in the Yankee front office saw it? Someone from the medical staff should be answering these questions to the press, not Boone. 

If I go to work and I don't do my job, it reflects in my review.  Are you telling me that people that have a Yankee ID to get in the building are able to continue to do their jobs even though they don't do them? This Rizzo situation is "serious" and "dangerous".  Like, what world do we live in that we waited this long?

And let's take it further.  Montas, as I mentioned was totally a lemon. Never checked thoroughly.  No one raised the red flag.  But there's more...

Carlos Rodon. Hurt to start the season. Hasn't been exactly right yet.

Lou Trivino, remember this guy? Out for the season. Elbow.

Scott Effross. Out for the season. Elbow.

Luis Gil. Out until at least September. Elbow.

Jonathan Loaisiga. Out until at least September. Elbow.

And Luis Severino. This poor guy's been battling injury for years on and off.  Here's a red alert... He can't pitch to save his life right now.  How about we get real doctors to check this guy out. Maybe he's ACTUALLY HURT.

Look, safety first for Rizzo. That's fine. I honestly don't trust the Yankees front office however when it comes to any diagnosis and relaying actual truth when it comes to our players though, and that's why I was skeptical when it came out that Rizzo suddenly was hurt.  I just assumed it was easier for the Yankee organization to say he was going on the IL, rather than saying they were resting Rizzo. Why? Because the fan base would go crazy. But hey, what do I know... I'm just sharing their entire track record when it comes to medical, their spotty pressers and the Yankees. The whole thing stinks.

By the way... a lot pitchers are hurt with a lot of elbow injuries, huh?  

What are they doing in their training that has that many pitchers out with bum elbows?  Another question I am positive they will never answer.  

It's a valid question though. It needs to be answered.

Get well soon Rizzo!
