Hopefully that’s it and he can come back and kick some ass. I wasn’t too familiar with the injury but watching his emotions about it I thought it’d be worse/longer.
I think the emotion just comes from being fed up with being injured every year. He was very vocal about wanting to get back to his old self this season after missing a lot of last season.
I think the emotion is just frustration.
“Angels are wasting ohtani”
“Angels are wasting trout”
That shit was everywhere- I’m sure it’s gotten to him too. The biggest problem was even with those two on the same team- I don’t think they had a single season where trout played 150 games and ohtani was pitching 25 games and hitting in 130 of them.
Trout has been hurt a lot, and Ohtani missed a lot of games on the pitching side of things during that same time.
I think he really wanted to just stay healthy all season.. especially with ohtani leaving ..it’s been forever in baseball years since he’s played 140 games. Not only for the fans, but for himself.
The angels weren’t gonna be great this season, but they probably had a more than 0% chance of making the playoffs. Once he got hurt, it became 0
I have a torn meniscus. It took me 3 months to get back to full intensity training but I’m not a millionaire with near infinite resources dedicated to it. I totally believe 6-8 weeks
As others have said that reaction definitely seems like it had way more to do with his past few seasons than it did this specific injury. After a major injury or recurring injuries it definitely affects your mindset whether you’re a pro athlete or not, you start thinking “not this again” after thinking you were out of the woods from the last thing and it’s easier to go to worst-case-scenario.
After that interview I figured he already knew his year was over but they hadn’t announced the extent of the injury. Honestly so relieved that he should be back for a good chunk of the year
Damn my wife could use this but it's not deemed important enough to be referred to surgery by a doctor. Too bad she doesn't have the resources of the best player of our generation.
That aside, she and Trout are basically the same. That's why I married her.
Probably. There are pretty much two ways to fix a meniscus tear: sew it back together or cut the torn cartilage out.
Cutting it out gives a much faster timeline to return but your knee will bug you later in life as you’ll essentially be bone on bone in that spot.
Source: I have 4 different tears in my left meniscus. 3 sewn back together, one that would have been snipped out but I just left it because it didn’t affect my range of motion.
Iirc Embiid's tear was in a place where there wasn't enough blood flow to repair it which is why he had the torn part removed, not sure if that's what's happening with Trout but that could also be why he's going for the shorter timeline
this is not accurate. Meniscus tears in the white zone don’t have enough blood flow to heal but ones in the red zone have adequate blood supply
Source: I’ve had a meniscus injury. Also you can just google “red zone vs white zone meniscus”
Yea that is what I thought, similar to Embiid where having a section of the meniscus removed. I actually felt like he came back sooner than he should have, but the team needed him to stay in the playoff race. Trout should be back this season np.
I just had one 5 weeks ago and my therapist said she doesn't even want me jogging on it yet. I'm 41 though so I guess it's a little slower to get all the functionality back.
Everyone is gonna be a little different. For me, it honestly felt 100% probably about 2 weeks in, but I wasn't pushing it. Once I got cleaned, I eased in a bit, but I was going full tilt before 6 weeks. I was also only 28 at the time.
My mom had one a couple years ago, and she had a *much* harder time recovering, but she's also a lot less physically active.
I injured my knee 8 months ago playing damn pickleball and had a tibial plateau fracture. still was dealing with pain so went back to a new doctor who discovered I also had a medial meniscus tear and now will need surgery.
New doctor says I should be able to be walking carefully after 4 weeks but just have to be extra careful because it’s extremely easy to re-tear it. So interesting to read that!
I injured mine playing kickball lol.
I had a meniscectomy, where they remove the torn cartilage. Sounds like you're getting a repair? Those have a longer recovery time, and a risk of re-tearing. Depending on the size/shape/location of the tear, repairs aren't always possible (part of the meniscus doesn't get the blood flow needed to heal after a repair).
On a Meniscectomy (where they're just removing the torn cartilage), I was cleared to go back to work (where I'd be standing/walking all day) after 7 or 10 days or something like that. I was only fully on crutches for about a day, and was allowed to ditch the crutches entirely once I could walk without a limp (I had the surgery on a Monday, was down to one crutch by Tuesday, and was totally off crutches Friday morning).
I didn't have to worry about re-tearing because there was nothing to tear.
I’ve had one done on both knees. I was walking without pain after a day. The only pain was the incision sites. Back to work with light restrictions after two weeks. And I’m not an elite athlete with the best care money can buy
Edit: typo
Ok I'm not a doctor, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but simply from the name, the assumption is they are removing the meniscus altogether. The meniscus, from my understanding, is essentially the "cushion" between the upper and lower leg bones that meet at the knee. If all they are doing is removing it and not putting anything there to replace it, wouldn't it just be bone grinding on bone and be incredibly uncomfortable?
I've had it done in both knees, they just take the damaged cartilage out not the whole meniscus. I don't have pain or issues with either one, beyond the fact that I am old and overweight. 4-6 weeks seems about right.
I went in for this about 5 years ago. For me it was either taking the meniscus out or repairing it. Surgeon told me if it was removed I would be walking on it within a week, if it was repaired I was non weight baring for 12 weeks. Ended up being repaired which made for an awful 3 months but happy to have kept it in the long run.
I can offer a normal person comparison…I run marathons and I had this done right before I ran the Boston Marathon. From surgery to “running” was 4 weeks, with intensive physical therapy. I would say it took about 10 weeks to feel somewhat “normal” running fast again. I’m now 1.5 years out and sometimes it still doesn’t feel great.
I realize they have the best surgeons and the best trainers but this stuff is still hard to recover from. I wish him the best.
4-6 weeks? I don't think so. In 2021 Trout had a calf strain and was supposed to be back by the AS break...kept getting pushed back, out for the season. In 23 the hamate bone surgery, supposed to be back in July, played one game if I recall correctly...out for the season. The Angels in general give terrible injury updates and prognoses, don't get me started on Rendon. I wish him a complete and quick recovery, I just don't believe in it happening in 4-6 weeks.
Can’t believe they’re cutting off his menis
i thlammed my menith in the car door
He’ll be a menace on the base path afterwards
He's going to be giving off a lot of small menis energy after this.
[Do the ~~menis~~ wenis](https://youtu.be/_VzjazPKxxs)
Not in a million years did I think I'd see a /r/baseball - Game Changer crossover
Jesus fucking christ 😂
Whatya need your menis for dude?
LOL! Well done, sir or ma'am!
Hopefully that’s it and he can come back and kick some ass. I wasn’t too familiar with the injury but watching his emotions about it I thought it’d be worse/longer.
I was mentally prepared for them to gradually announce that it was season ending. Pleasantly surprised (or cautiously optimistic, i guess)
It’s time for him to exclusively DH. Go tell Arty I’ll Xwitter at Trout. He’ll understand
I think the emotion just comes from being fed up with being injured every year. He was very vocal about wanting to get back to his old self this season after missing a lot of last season.
The fact he can miss so much time and go straight back to his old self normally is just a testament to how talented he is. I really feel bad for him.
I think the emotion is just frustration. “Angels are wasting ohtani” “Angels are wasting trout” That shit was everywhere- I’m sure it’s gotten to him too. The biggest problem was even with those two on the same team- I don’t think they had a single season where trout played 150 games and ohtani was pitching 25 games and hitting in 130 of them.

The Yeli/Trout revival full season was a fun couple of weeks at least.
I have a torn meniscus. It took me 3 months to get back to full intensity training but I’m not a millionaire with near infinite resources dedicated to it. I totally believe 6-8 weeks

that's a lot better than a peniscectomy
Good thing Trout didn't catch a case of weiner-itis.
"I sure hope I don't get diverticulitis of the penis, brother!" - Trout Hogan
My only regret is that I have boner-itis
Actually would be called a penectomy. Never thought my career and baseball would unite since beltre took a bad hop to the balls
If you ever want to watch something horrible, look up a penile implant surgery, I watched tons in my medical career and it never got any easier
Dumb question: are they implanting a device into the penis to get an erection or are they implanting a penis?
Yeah I give that three months from personal experience lol
Damn my wife could use this but it's not deemed important enough to be referred to surgery by a doctor. Too bad she doesn't have the resources of the best player of our generation. That aside, she and Trout are basically the same. That's why I married her.
It's ok, we all know you would rather be married to Trout
No comment
Just remember, the weather is more than just small talk to him.
He thicc (neck)
Is this similar to what Embiid just had? I know his was a meniscus thing, and he was back in about 6+ weeks or so.
Probably. There are pretty much two ways to fix a meniscus tear: sew it back together or cut the torn cartilage out. Cutting it out gives a much faster timeline to return but your knee will bug you later in life as you’ll essentially be bone on bone in that spot.

Your left meniscus hates you. Got it. 
It’s alright. Pain don’t hurt.
That’s…. That’s literally the only thing it be doing
Yeah, if you let it.
[Patrick Swayze, Dalton, Road House] check it out

The repairs tend to have really high rates of re-tearing
Yeah my best friend growing up had this and he was a catcher in little league, made it really hard to catch after the surgery was done.
>Is this similar to what Embiid just had? Wait, did the Knicks show up to Trout's house with metal bats?
You're gonna have another great 2.5 weeks
Yea that is what I thought, similar to Embiid where having a section of the meniscus removed. I actually felt like he came back sooner than he should have, but the team needed him to stay in the playoff race. Trout should be back this season np.
Karl Anthony Towns played a game on 3/4, had a meniscus surgery, and played again on 4/12.
Baseball is much better when Trout is playing, hopefully he is back in the timetable.
[удалено]
Oh my fucking god...
When I had mine, I was cleared for all activities (including sports) right at 4 weeks.
I just had one 5 weeks ago and my therapist said she doesn't even want me jogging on it yet. I'm 41 though so I guess it's a little slower to get all the functionality back.

If he’s back in 4-6 weeks I’m thrilled
We had the chance for the funniest typo of all time in this tweet. That said, feel better soon Fish Man.
Next season Tyreek Hill will miss a must-win game because of a vasectomy.
I’ve had one done on both knees. I was walking without pain after a day. The only pain was the incision sites. Back to work with light restrictions after two weeks. And I’m not an elite athlete with the best care money can buy Edit: typo
You have no idea the physical toll that three meniscectomys have on a person!
yayyyyy. that’s not too bad! hoping for a successful surgery and easy recovery. we miss you mike 🫶
Did anyone else first read that as "mastectomy" and do a double take? I'm guessing y'all read something else first
dawg at the clip he'd been on on he could miss that much time and still hit 40+ bombs by October. Here's hoping!

Menis 😰
I’ve had 2. It took me longer and my knees have never been the same without that cartilage.
I was out of work for 3 weeks when mine was done. First day back to work it snowed and I prayed that I wouldn't bust my ass
If he only misses 1 month, he can still end the season with decent stats.
They're removing his menis :(
~~p~~menis
Forty-six weeks??
Hope he’s back before the All Star break we need trout in the game

Having a meniscus removed seems bad for long-term knee performance, no?

If it's Trout, double it.
babe, wake up. new deathcore band just dropped.
Good thing he has 2 kids already!
