Has there been any turnover in the Astros training staff since they got lied to by Morgan Ensberg and blew the evaluation of Jason Jennings?
Last night's game against the Washington Nationals sent an injured Roy Oswalt out to pitch, and he only lasted one inning before making his injury worse.
I'd like to hear what the trainers have to say for themselves. Did they give bad reports to management, did management ignore their reports, or are players back to bullshitting everyone to get back in the game?
And how much of this has to do with Jeff Bagwell trying to tough it out to collect the final two years of his massive contract, even if at the expense of the team's ability to pay it through the insurance policy they took out on him?

Inexcusable.
There is no reason to risk the career of a great pitcher like Oswalt for a game which in the scheme of things means nothing.
The Astros aren't battling for a playoff spot or the World Series or anything else. This is just a game before the All Star break. Even if it was a on the line game, you can't risk a man's career, but for NOTHING???
What a load of crap. Heads should roll for everyone involved for destroying the long term outlook for Oswalt and the team
