Earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants lost their ace pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, for an extended period of time.
Not from a sore elbow or any damage to his arm caused by throwing a baseball. Not an injury sustained while jacking one of his 16 career home runs. But he suffered shoulder and rib injuries in a dirt bike accident.
As usual, some people are overreacting, suggesting that the Giants should try to void his contract or that Bumgarner is never going to be a good pitcher again after this incident.
As of now, it appears that Bumgarner could still come back about midway through the season.
