Maybe this had something to do with it...

Dr. William J. Morgan, the former Red Sox team physician who gained national fame for repairing pitcher Curt Schilling’s torn right ankle tendon so he could pitch in the 2004 playoffs and World Series, has indefinitely given up his right to practice medicine while state officials investigate him for unspecified allegations.
Dr. Morgan, 57, a hand surgeon and longtime Auburn and Boylston resident, was also head physician for the Worcester Sharks minor league hockey team from 2006 until he resigned last fall around the time he surrendered his medical license. He also left St. Vincent Hospital at Worcester Medical Center.
Dr. Morgan was chief Red Sox doctor from 2001 until 2004 when he was replaced. He was arrested in Worcester for drunken driving in 2003.
Dr. Morgan and his lawyer, W. Scott Liebert of Boston, could not be reached for comment.
Dr. Morgan had most recently practiced with the Fallon Clinic. An employee who answered the phone at Fallon’s Summer Street office said Dr. Morgan is no longer with the clinic.
On Sept. 20, Dr. Morgan entered into a voluntary agreement with the state Board of Registration in Medicine not to practice medicine.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
I'm sure all teams have similar injuries, but it seems like our injuries always turn out worse than what the FO initially makes them out to be. I'm not sure why that is.
I'm not sure that they are any worse than those of any other team. I really only follow us in any great detail.
Hey - did I just hear that buck snort just left a game due to injury? if I heard right - really that gd medical and training staff from boston must have struck again.
Good night for Swihart - single, home run, 3 rbi's
We have a few guys off to really hot starts (Devers, Ockimey), but I like what Travis Lakins is doing in Salem - 1 ER in 11.1 IP with 17 K's thus far. The system looks pretty barren in pitching at this point, so we could really use someone like him stepping up.
True. For a brief moment there last summer it looked like we might have three legitimate blue-chip pitching prospects -- Espinoza, Kopech, and Groome -- to dream on, but now we really have almost all our eggs in the Groome basket. Maybe some of the secondary guys like Lakins or the others Moon named can take a big step forward, but I'm not exactly holding my breath.
