DBacks Snyder on the DL for....

**clone2011** · 07-03-2008, 01:54 PM

a "Left Testicular Fracture". Okay, I'm not a guy, but good God....that's bad.

And here's a link with the video of the incident. I'd hate to be an announcer in a situation like this. The announcer is almost as funny as that one covering that ski race where the guy got a pole down there.
"Take your time, Chris Snyder, get that voice back to normal..."

You can fracture a testicle?

**clone2011** · 07-03-2008, 01:57 PM

That's what I was wondering. Usually I laugh when someone is listed as "day to day for (enter random body part) bruise" but this guy...he earned it.

I think this is Jon M.'s favorite story of all time. Not so sure why though.

Do we have any medical professionals out there that can explain how you 'fracture' a testicle?

My question is how did you stumble upon this?

He may want to look into a cast iron cup once off the DL.

My brother sent me the blog link on AIM and then I went to the DBacks site to make sure it wasn't some bad joke. No idea how he heard of it.

Whats the recovery like for this injury?? Ice 20 on, 20 off keep them elevated. Dont use them for a couple weeks...worst injury ever.

**cyclonez7** · 07-03-2008, 02:06 PM

This is just as bad as Felix Pie's injury in spring training when one of his was twisted.

Is there rehab involved?

My question is how did you stumble upon this?

They were talking about this on ESPN radio about the 11:00 am range. I cant imagine the pain this guy is going through. I was in pain just hearing about it.
