It was I have never had an injury that kept me away. Played with a torn meniscus for 6 mths but this injury put me down for the count unable to play at all.
Had this happen to me during pre game warm up bp on a cold day. Felt three pops instant pain, couldn't swing a bat or throw. Sneezing was unbearable. Ended up being separated cartridge from 3 ribs. I was down a month before I even attempted bp again.
Yea does seem wierd that it has died. Gonna put some more bp on her to see if she'll open up again otherwise send here in for a Z while they are in stock.
