NFT: Madison Bumgarner hurts himself riding a dirtbike

26.2 : 4/21/2017 5:13 pm
what a dumb shit.

Giants placed LHP Madison Bumgarner on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to April 19, with bruised ribs and a Grade 1-2 strain of his left shoulder AC joint.

Bumgarner suffered the injuries during a dirk bike accident on Thursday. Seriously. He will be re-evaluated next week, but FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal hears that the left-hander is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks. It's the first time in his career that Bumgarner has been placed on the disabled list. Ty Blach seems likely to take his spot in the Giants' rotation, although Tyler Beede and Chris Stratton are also options.
there should be a clause in his contract

There often is. He may be out some money if there was and they choose to play hardball about it.
Smart.

Try as they might, teams can't prevent a guy from being a complete idiot...
Remember

Bumgarner is not a natural lefty but taught himself how to throw lefty. Why? In case his pitching arm was injured, he would still be able to farm.

Guy is a total hick.
He lucky he's not Beckham

Odell would get death threats on BBI if he did this.

How is Bumgarner a idiot ? He's been dirtbiking for years
Bum is a great player. Just a plain ol' country boy though

and he likes his off-days and off-season to do his favorite things...hunting, fishing, dirt-biking, etc.

Sometimes accidents happen chuckleheads...

He's an idiot for doing it during the season. Do whatever you want in the offseason....
if Syndergaard did that during the season

the Mets fans would kill him.

Actually, it doesn't matter. Most contracts bar you year round. If you hurt yourself doing something besides baseball, driving a car or screwing they don't have to pay you.

Yeah, that's what the ballclub should do,  
Jimmy Googs : 4/23/2017 6:44 pm : link
not pay Bumgarner.
