This reminds me of our center fielder tearing his ACL in a meaningless Spring Training game against the Mets. His name was Larry Jones. He missed the strike year. Hopefully, Soroka is similarly undeterred. I'm freaked out because the two of the most recent young guys who showed potential for us, Jair Jurrjens and Kris Medlen, got hurt and had their careers fall off the table. I guess I could throw in Mike Minor and (the tragically no longer with us) Tommy Hanson, too. Soroka looks like a Hall of Fame talent. So, this is an extremely upsetting turn of events.

Yeah, it's our weakest position, and he's our best pitcher BY FAR.

Mike Soroka went down after something in his leg popped. We're hoping for the best, but that's exactly what a ruptured Achilles looks like.

This isn't the year to trade for anyone since there's no guarantee the season finishes.

Betances is a little over 10 months past a partial tear, and he's still not right yet. This is a groin shot from a spiked boot.

It's absolutely the Achilles. You can see the moment when it pops in slow motion.

Well, this is a waking nightmare.

Death by a thousand cuts...and Ozuna.

It's an NL-only list. Otherwise, absolutely.

Welp.

Ace vs. ace again. Nothing better than that!

Oh man, I'd forgotten that Gary Sanchez was part of that.

I'm angrier about the fact that we didn't trade for Severino and him when we had the chance.

Folks, we are 1/6th of the way through the season.
