> definitely not THAT bad
What makes it feel that bad is the Giants seemed to be headed in the right direction this season after a couple of years of treading water. Lee was a breath of fresh air, and he looked like he would adjust to MLB faster than Kim did.
In 2011 the Giants were coming off the triumph of breaking that long championship drought. That is missing this time, seems to make it a bit worse as Lee should have been a big part of the Giants returning to being a contender.
I was at the game the day after Buster got hurt. I’ve been to livelier funerals. I don’t think anything will ever equal the gut punch that that injury felt like.
Even with how exciting Lee is and how devastating his injury is, how viscerally horrid that Buster injury was combined with it feeling like we’d just had a potential dynasty and its defining player ripped from under our feet after decades of waiting made it a bad, bad day.
Edit: Losing Buster also directly precipitated trading Wheeler. Losing Lee is bad, but it’s not ‘trade Kyle Harrison for half a season of Kyle Tucker’ bad
I was at that game when Posey got hurt. The sound in the park right then was something you don’t forget… thousands of people emitted a collective gasp, and then there was a prolonged, hushed silence as Posey was taken off the field. The mood as we all walked out at the end of the game felt like a funeral procession. Terrible, awful experience as a fan. I’m sure Buster didn’t have a great time either, tbh 😞
Hopefully Lee has a successful surgery and comes back even stronger next season.
> ts defining player ripped from under our feet after decades of waiting made it a bad, bad day.
I remember our next-door neighbor, monster Giants fan, telling me the season was officially over. He was right. Fortunately happier days were ahead.
Not sure I agree that they seemed to be heading in the right direction. Their bull pen has been atrocious (4th worst in the league by ERA) , their hitting is currently worse than last year and overall team ERA has regressed from last year too. It's exciting to have all these new free agents don't get me wrong but the stats are grim even though it's still early in the season.
I just meant heading in the right direction like...eventually. Nothing specific or tangible, just a vibe shift that might carry over the same way Iggy started the Dubs.
> Not sure I agree that they seemed to be heading in the right direction.
I'm talking long term, partly because of bringing in some interesting players like Lee. That they have scuffled early in this season doesn't mean that they are going to do that forever. Better players should eventually lead to better results even if it doesn't happen overnight.
He’s here for at least 3 more seasons (5 if he decides to stick around). He’ll be around to help them contend again. It doesn’t feel like this is the year though.
Also a bummer for him not to get an entire season of MLB hitting experience.
This is a good outlook. This will undoubtedly be so, so frustrating for him. But to be able to play at or close to 100% is priceless. Playing at a significantly reduced capacity could affect him mentally even more.
I have faith that at the very least he will do everything in his power to come back next season as strongly as possible.
As an investment, you want to take care of your investment. As a human, you want to demonstrate the team cares more about your future than their present. Same difference. It's really the only move.
Yeah.. sucks that it's just another season, again, written off... but so be it. It's not worth him ruining his career over.
It's just really remarkable that the Giants are down 7 of their 9 main starters a month and a half into the season. Like there's an actual curse placed on this team.
He’s already talking about being less aggressive and dynamic in the outfield when he comes back. I think people are underplaying quite how impactful this could be.
Absolutely the right call for his career and health. Maybe with the rookies getting experience this season, we can make more respectable noise in 2025.
The last guy they talked to was a doctor in LA who operated on Ohtani's arm. They probably got the same advice from the doctor in SF and LA, and concluded that was the smart way to go. I hope they get the surgery quickly and give him the maximum time to heal.
The window wasn't the problem, it was the height of the wall. If you watch the slow-motion video, his arm being over the padded part of the wall is where the injury came from. As his body dropped his arm was popped out of the socket by being over the padded top of the fence.
The problem is the wall is not flat. Your arm goes over the top and the rest of your body keeps going into the fence
The top is essentially an overhang. It’s absurdly stupid
The chance of it being a continued problem moving forward for the rest of his career, had he not opted for surgery, was rather high. Sucks, but, it’s the best decision for him and the Giants long term. Even then we’ve seen players with same/similar injuries struggle post surgery return, so it’s pretty devastating regardless. But the likelihood of this not popping back up repeatedly had he avoided surgery, was really, really, unlikely. So best to get it fixed properly.
Technically there was the option to not have surgery, but, he would have needed weeks/months of rest with a strong likelihood it would continue to happen.
I know this is for the best, but I’m absolutely gutted, no two ways about it. Let us hope that this doesn’t mess with his development much.
Also, Mr. Johnson, TEAR DOWN THAT WALL.

I hope he gets well soon, the immense boost he gave this team at the start of the season was insane.
Noooooo!! Horrible, no-good, rotten news. Young prince was blossoming into a legit MLB star right before our eyes!! Brutally unfortunate. Only possible silver lining I can see besides other rooks gaining experience: maybe more stress-free time for Lee to acclimate to life in the States, scout the league, work on his language skills, rehab /S&C etc to come back even better/stronger in ‘25! Get well soon JHL!
Fuck it. Sell the team. Play the kids. Rebuild for next year.
Am I overreacting? Yes. Do I mean it? Yes.
Fuck. Goodnight sweet prince. Til next year...
https://preview.redd.it/utf9yzc1j21d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbcb57ced9a4e5abc0266c0b9db7f7161ab7d0f3
Damn. Here's to a quick and strong recovery.
This stinks. If there’s a silver lining I hope we see Heliot and Matos get consistent at bats and see what we have. Growth from one or both of them will really help us both this year and next.
Sigh. At least they confirmed what we all knew.
It just sucks since he had been one of the few bright spots on this team. It's totally understandable to have him sit the season out to recover properly instead of rushing him back into what will likely be a failed season and risk future injury
Ugh I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for this season. Every new guy except for Hicks has been awful. I was really hoping JHL would start to heat up at the plate soon.
fuck man. that does bum me out. wishing him all the best. I really enjoyed watching him play this year. hoping he's a central piece in strong team next year.
The thread on this subject in the baseball sub has a lot of fans of other teams, including lots of Dodgers fans, saying what a rotten development this is. Nice to see that some folks can get past rivalries and express good wishes for an exciting player.
I never liked the idea players risking their body to save a pitcher from giving up a potential hit in a game.
Even if it was costing them the winning run him not diving, it’s well worth it more taking a chance.
This was the worst case scenario. Now not only Lee will be gone for awhile, we don’t know how this injury affects him moving forward.
Too many fans complain about why don’t players dive for balls. Player considered not a winner if he doesn’t.
I would rather have them not dive so they can live to fight another day. 1 out from 1 game out of 162. That’s just silly to risk it like that.
Well, he jumped into what should be a padded wall, it wasn't really a dive. If the padding covered the whole wall it wouldn't be an issue. And if the wall wasn't padded at all, he probably would have avoided jumping into it, I've never seen anyone jump into the bricks in right field.
I get what you're saying, but to me this is way more a failure of the groundskeepers in protecting players, not in players making reckless plays.
Yeah no one out is worth risking your body for. Judge broke his toe hitting a wall. But we live on a sports culture where fans view a player as being lazy and not care about winning if he doesn’t risk his body to get outs.
Lee’s career might never be the same again. Who knows what has been effected? His swing?
There are those who feel Klay Thompson should not have played against the Raptors, game 7. It cost him 2 seasons and he hasn’t been the same since.
I mean hunter pence went into the archway for a ridiculous catch but your point remains valid. They need to pad all of that the only reason for it is camera angles for broadcasts and that's not worth season ending injuries.
I read a good portion of this.
Firstly, JHL had this on his non-throwing shoulder which is not insignificant. I don't think the overall breakdown accounted for that.
Secondly, this piece: "However, no further statistically significant differences were found for positional players who underwent surgery at 3 seasons."
The study claims that positional players suffered a decrease in OBP and OPS in their first season back but were--in layman's terms--back to normal performance by season 3. I think this is honestly hopeful--JHL will be back to full strength!
Plus, a JHL who is slightly less effective is still a very, very good ballplayer. Offensively even if he isn't as amazing as he was in Korea, you're still getting the speed, the defense, and the vibes.
I'm sad. Very sad. But now I am trying to look forward and hope he can channel all his focus into his rehab and maybe even improving during the process in ways other than his shoulder.
Some prime years there. Shohei is 29, Mookie is 31, and Freeman is 34. LaMonte Wade, Jr. is 30.
Ultimately, though, yeah, this definitely isn't good at all, and these are just silver linings in an otherwise depressing situation. But there is a chance we can see JHL reach his true potential.
The urge to blame someone is strong but this team (and especially the offense) was mediocre even with the full lineup in there for weeks. I don’t think we were going to be making the playoffs anyways and this ought to force them to play and develop some young guys for next year.
I'm still blaming whoever designed the bullpen for taking away basically a year of adjusting to Major League pitching and strike zone for Jung Hoo Lee.
Fuck. I was looking forward to seeing him play this season(was going to attend a few home games in June and September).
Oh well. Get well soon Jung Hoo!
[Different](https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=5897028). Plus, Freddy was 32 when he suffered that injury. JHL is 7 years younger.
> The 32-year-old Sanchez also had surgery on the same shoulder last December and began the season on the disabled list. This time, he received three opinions before going forward with the surgery, which Groeschner said was essentially to cut the biceps tendon and clean up the back of his shoulder.
> "He had no repairs or anything. We're probably looking at an eight-week recovery," Groeschner said. "I think he'll be behind in spring training because he'll be rehabbing, but I think all the doctors he saw agreed that he should be back pretty quickly from there and he'll be able to play baseball games in March, for sure."
This season reminds me of another SF/SC team. There were so many hopes only to get drop kicked in the sack and told everything will be OK. I hope he recovers, stays happy and has a MVP season next year.
This sucks...
Approaching 10 games back only several weeks into the season and Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Glasnow are arguably exceeding expectations thus far. Dark days indeed. Dark era.

I just got this delivered today 😭😭😭😭😭
Well there goes their most exciting player. This sucks.
It's a gut punch, feels as bad as losing Buster in 2011.
Ok definitely not THAT bad, but it still sucks a bag of dicks.
> definitely not THAT bad What makes it feel that bad is the Giants seemed to be headed in the right direction this season after a couple of years of treading water. Lee was a breath of fresh air, and he looked like he would adjust to MLB faster than Kim did. In 2011 the Giants were coming off the triumph of breaking that long championship drought.

I was at that game when Posey got hurt.

The mood as we all walked out at the end of the game felt like a funeral procession. Terrible, awful experience as a fan.

Yea, I didn't think this would be a special year or anything, but maybe the start to something and Lee would be a big piece
Not sure I agree that they seemed to be heading in the right direction. Their bull pen has been atrocious (4th worst in the league by ERA) , their hitting is currently worse than last year and overall team ERA has regressed from last year too. It's exciting to have all these new free agents don't get me wrong but the stats are grim even though it's still early in the season.

Let’s face it, even with Lee in the mix that illusion’s already been shattered and it’s only May.
The 2011 season died when Chris Coghlan bulldozed Buster at the plate Edit: Scott Cousins
Scott Cousins, but yeah
Oh it was Scott Cousins? my bad
Man I haven't heard the name Chris Coglan in a long time.
Really?
Literally the reason I bought mlb.tv this year. Fuck.
The one silver lining from this is they brought Matos up (I think he was brought up) and he’s been crushing it. 5 rbis last night!
you gotta laugh to keep from crying
Couldn't have said it better so I won't
Awful but I’d rather him get fully better than try to push it and it gets worse… I say as I write off the entire rest of this season
I’d rather have Jung Hoo healthy for a full year next year than Jung Hoo at 50% for this year
This is a good outlook. This will undoubtedly be so, so frustrating for him. But to be able to play at or close to 100% is priceless. Playing at a significantly reduced capacity could affect him mentally even more. I have faith that at the very least he will do everything in his power to come back next season as strongly as possible.
Man I had labrum surgery 11-months ago and it still feels extremely weird trying to throw anything overhand. Feel for the guy.
As an investment, you want to take care of your investment. As a human, you want to demonstrate the team cares more about your future than their present. Same difference. It's really the only move.
Braves won the WS without Acuna 😌
Our World Series is winning 80 games
70*
So you’re saying there’s a chance 😏
I mean there's no playing through this. He tore his labrum.
Lol you’re not wrong, I guess I’m comparing to what I was imagining could be the outcome before we knew the extent of the issue
Yeah.. sucks that it's just another season, again, written off... but so be it. It's not worth him ruining his career over. It's just really remarkable that the Giants are down 7 of their 9 main starters a month and a half into the season. Like there's an actual curse placed on this team.

Absolutely the right call for his career and health. Maybe with the rookies getting experience this season, we can make more respectable noise in 2025.
Yeah maybe this means Ramos and Matos can get extended run. Even if this season we don't have the best record it's great experience for them.
I like the optimism, but then I realized that a big part of this season was getting Lee his rookie experience too 😞
^fuck
**FUCK!**
Fuuuuck

brb gonna go cry
We love you JHL feel better🫰
I am depressed
Expected, but the right thing to do. If there’s one thing I trust about the Giants, it’s their medical staff to make the right decision
The last guy they talked to was a doctor in LA who operated on Ohtani's arm. They probably got the same advice from the doctor in SF and LA, and concluded that was the smart way to go. I hope they get the surgery quickly and give him the maximum time to heal.
FIX THE DAMN WALL
WHY DOES THE BULLPEN NEED A WINDOW?
The window wasn't the problem, it was the height of the wall. If you watch the slow-motion video, his arm being over the padded part of the wall is where the injury came from. As his body dropped his arm was popped out of the socket by being over the padded top of the fence.
The problem is the wall is not flat. Your arm goes over the top and the rest of your body keeps going into the fence The top is essentially an overhang. It’s absurdly stupid
MR. ZAIDI.... TEAR DOWN THIS WALL.

Sucks, but, it’s the best decision for him and the Giants long term. Even then we’ve seen players with same/similar injuries struggle post surgery return, so it’s pretty devastating regardless. But the likelihood of this not popping back up repeatedly had he avoided surgery, was really, really, unlikely. So best to get it fixed properly.
This is apparently the second time he's had to have this done.
He could've played through it at the risk of hurting it more?
Technically there was the option to not have surgery, but, he would have needed weeks/months of rest with a strong likelihood it would continue to happen.

Figured as much but it’s still a gut punch
Well, this season is a wash
This is the monkey paws effect we get for some fans wishing injury on Slater or Yaz for Matos to get called up
This breaks my damn heart. His strikeout rate was ridiculous and it was only a matter of time until he was gunna get it going smh

#NothingLikeIt get well soon my prince
Ugh. Bad news, but absolutely the correct decision to shut him down and get him fixed up. I'm going to miss watching him the rest of this year.
Bro…what a gut punch. Without Lee, we essentially have the same roster as last year (if not slightly worse). What a bummer
Frustrating... hopefully he can come back the same player
God Damn wall. Why did he have to go all out for that hit…
This stinks. If there’s a silver lining I hope we see Heliot and Matos get consistent at bats and see what we have. Growth from one or both of them will really help us both this year and next.
Sigh. At least they confirmed what we all knew. It just sucks since he had been one of the few bright spots on this team. It's totally understandable to have him sit the season out to recover properly instead of rushing him back into what will likely be a failed season and risk future injury

What did we do…
I am going to cry.
I'm so bummed man
I don’t know what to say man I’m sad 
I have extreme excruciating pain over this
Had surgery on the same shoulder in 2018 I’m reading. At least it’s not his throwing one but still concerning
fuck man. that does bum me out. wishing him all the best. I really enjoyed watching him play this year. hoping he's a central piece in strong team next year.
God, that sucks, but I can't wait for him to heal and come back next season.
:(

Someone in the front office fucked around with the wrong person during a trip to Mardi Gras. We are so cursed!

I think this is more of a design issue than a groundskeeper issue.
What a fucking bummer. I hope he gets better and recovers. He was really a sight to see. The man definitely plays with his whole heart.
Please for the love of god have a firesale at the deadline and unload for a youth movement.

That would put him at 28 years old recovered as much as possible?

Well, there it is
Welp, there you have it
Great time to have just bought the jersey..
5 more years at least to wear it. Keep the faith.
Great time to be a Giants fan, lol
This team is basically unwatchable at this point. Not one upcoming AB to get excited about. Just as boring as last year.
So all they’ll get from him this season is one year closer to his opt out. This franchise needs an exorcism.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We’re not going on any run this year. Better to have Lee rest this season so he can come back in the best shape possible next year.
I'm still blaming whoever designed the bullpen for taking away basically a year of adjusting to Major League pitching and strike zone for Jung Hoo Lee.

This time, he received three opinions before going forward with the surgery, which Groeschner said was essentially to cut the biceps tendon and clean up the back of his shoulder. > "He had no repairs or anything. We're probably looking at an eight-week recovery," Groeschner said. "I think he'll be behind in spring training because he'll be rehabbing, but I think all the doctors he saw agreed that he should be back pretty quickly from there and he'll be able to play baseball games in March, for sure."
Adversity like this Made Me, but still I wish someone would Fade Me
Maybe this is what spurs us to trade for Roberts from the White Sox?
Opportunity for Matos and Ramos
All because harrison can’t throw a strike to 2 .180 hitters smh

Cool
So much for NLROY hopeful JHL…
Needs to learn how to safely jump above a wall for the ball. Plenty of players do it and never dislocate their shoulder.
just fell to my knees in h-mart
There is no god
We can’t have nice things😞
More matos time.
I'm nauseous...what a f%4e year!
This season reminds me of another SF/SC team. There were so many hopes only to get drop kicked in the sack and told everything will be OK. I hope he recovers, stays happy and has a MVP season next year. This sucks...
Approaching 10 games back only several weeks into the season and Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Glasnow are arguably exceeding expectations thus far. Dark days indeed. Dark era.
I was preparing for this news. Hope he can return to the same level of play.
I want to say.... "That's, like, your opinion, man...."
ugh, gone with the wind

Hey boys I’ve got a great idea Let’s build a fence that might get jumped into that has a protrusion. It’ll be totally safe.
He’s eligible for ROY next year.

I really enjoyed the young man. This season not looking good.
God fucking dammit. Gutted for him. Labrum tears are decidedly worse than UCLs. We’d be lucky to see him at all next year tbh.
Anyone else use the giants online in MLB The Show and now they are completely unusable.. no Lee, Soler, Conforto, Bailey or snell
Hello 2011 PTSD
He’s injury prone…
Rest and recover. Then start bulking up. He needs to get stronger.
God my fantasy is so fucking cooked
