So it cannot be an easy bone to break if I didn't break it from 13 to 15 years old because I was setting records, man.

That would be a full hand grip.

Yeah.

Pinky's an instrumental finger, though, my man.

The pinky.

The pinky's instrumental.

Oh, yeah.

It's an underrated appendage.

That's what it is.

So it always bothers me when a guy's like, you could have had this surgery three weeks ago.

And it would have been no doubt that you're ready for opening day.

By the way, I don't know how you're not hampered by a hand surgery as a baseball player.

It's not like a quarterback who throws righty, who has injury to his left hand, he can still throw a football.

If you're a shortstop in Major League Baseball, you need both hands.

And if you just had surgery on your hand again...

Look, I'm not a doctor, but every doctor I've heard has commented about this in the medical world and the sports world and said it is six weeks, period, stop.

And there's an expectation that when you get to that six-week-ish kind of time frame, the expectation is he's good to go.

But I also know baseball players are very, very particular about how many at-bats they want to get before the start of a season, how many innings they want to play to get to a place where they're just comfortable again.

And I'm not sure that you can participate until the six weeks is up.

Now, if you tell me that four weeks in, he can start taking ground balls and he can take some light batting practice or hit off a tee so that the day the season starts, he's in a good place, the hand is okay, and you can swing at 100-mile-per-hour fastball followed by an 80-mile-per-hour off-speed pitch, then great.
