Yeah. I don't want to downplay the seriousness of this, but, from the headline, I figured he had been diagnosed as bipolar or some such. Sports Illustrated ran an article many years ago (a decade ago? Two?) talking about how stressful the closer's job was and how fast it burns out most guys. I'm kinda surprised more closers don't develop anxiety disorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 IIRC, one of hayhurst's books is about dealing with mental health issues as a major leaguer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Massive difference in anxiety disorders and bipolar stuff, but it could be anything. It's best for him to probably keep it private unless he wants to be open about it like a Brandon Marshall who was really messed up and spent tons of money getting treatment.

Dontrelle Willis is another guy who had to deal with anxiety issues. Essentially ended his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Read up on Osuna. It has to be tough and head spinning especially for international players to get into the gring of minor league baseball. Osuna quit school at 12 to support the family. Went off to Japan for awhile at 15 or so to pitch. Got signed at 16 and sent to Canada to start his career. Blew out his elbow at 17-18. Wound up in the majors at 20-21 and pitched in the playoffs. Heavy stuff to deal with. Times like this you need your parents or older teammates to lean on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Maicer Izturis retired last year, only Bartolo is left. Also, until he signed with Texas last year, Ian Desmond was the last Expo draftee still with the club. Never played in Montreal, obviously, but he was still kind of an Expo, Edited June 28, 2017 by grilledcheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a rougher than usual time with it lately, and it's time for a new psychiatrist and probable medication adjustment or change. Maybe it's a bit of a cliché, but this is best way I can describe living with major depression and anxiety. Depression is when you don’t care about anything. Anxiety is when you care too much, and overthink everything. Having both is hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
