Murphy isn’t the strongest o vibram five fingers speed sale r fastest
Murphy isn’t the strongest o vibram five fingers speed sale r fastest player on the Mets, but he is one of the hardest-working players on the team. He has moved from third base to left field to first base to second base in his time with the Mets, all to make sure he cracks the lineup. When he finally started playing every day, a season-ending MCL injury knocked him out of the lineup in early August of last season. But he didn’t stop working. Instead, he rehabbed diligently and picked up this season where he left off in 2011.
Murphy banged out a pair of hits and knocked in a run on Monday, May 15 as the Mets defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 3-1. In the process, he extended his hitting streak to 10 games and is batting a sizzling .475 in that span with seven RBI and six runs scored. Overall, he is batting .333, ranking 12th in the National League, and he has 16 multi-hit games (third most in the Majors). Not surprisingly, he’s become a fan favorite for his ability and blue-collar approach to the game.
In many ways, Murphy embodies the scrappy Mets, who are short on talent (compared to the rest of the National League East), but long on effort and determination — the team has 10 come-from-behind wins this season. And that’s what it’ll take — all-out effort and determination — for New York to stay in the mix this season. It won’t be easy, and that’s just fine with Murphy and the Mets.
There was the time he took a ball in the forehead while playing first base in 2007, his most severe, which left him vomiting. Then one in 2008 and another in 2010.There could be more, but he’s not an expert of the concussion grading system so he’s not sure.
However many he has accumulated, he and the Mets are being cautious about his return after the one suffered against the Phillies on May 7 in light of the growing concerns regarding concussions across the sports spectrum. He said he has been symptom-free – read: without headaches — since Friday and was scheduled to meet with doctors Tuesday to undergo the
standard concussion tests in hopes of getting the green light to resume baseball activities.
“It’s a wait-and-see type of thing,” said Thole, who was placed on the seven-day disabled list on May 8 after the collision with Wigginton. “I think the biggest thing with what’s going on right now, not only in baseball but in other sports, I think it’s something you don’t want to rush back into. You want to definitely build back up. You just definitely want to listen to what the doctors got to say.”
