Would be interested to hear everyone elses' takes on this. As a Brewers fan it kind of peeves me off. I don't expect the guy to stop having a life outside of baseball, but it sure stinks. I would at least like for him to seem slightly apologetic. Says he will prob miss MOST OF APRIL. Ugh.

These things happen.

If you want to hear apologies, you probably will never hear them from Greinke.

I think Heyman is ridiculously harsh.  That he got hurt playing ball doesn't anger me at all, especially compared to all the stupid says guys get hurt during spring training every year.  If you don't let guys play pickup, you're really starting to foreclose on them doing really any sort of mildly athletic activity outside of baseball whatsoever. I think thats too extreme.

I like that Greinke is that competitive, and I think these fluky things are just part of taking the good with the bad.

I think he's right about playing other contact sports. Makes him seem kind of careless about his primary job.

I recall that Robin Yount had a clause in his contracts that he could NOT ride his dirt bikes or if he did and was injured there would be $$$ consequences

Thought the fluky things were chalked up to his social anxiety disorder and the medication he's on.

Either way seems like greinke's rib is going to be the most cared about rib since God stole one from Adam

The basketball doesn't bother me. He could pull an oblique golfing and miss 4 weeks. Fluky things happen.

I have a problem since he did it *after* reporting to camp.

Is he any good with eligibility remaining? According to some here, we could really use a traditional spot up shooter.
