He just threw off a mound the other day with "no issues." I think the 0-7 start to the season was the deciding factor. In what's looking like a lost season, ownership decided that now would be the time for him to have surgery. if they decided that 7 games in, and the 0-7 start was a factor these guys are dumber than we give them credit for. Anyone with a brain and eyes knew this team was going to be trash before the season started.

There is a way to 'limit' innings becuase you cant have a kid go from 80 innings pitched to 150 innings pitched the next year. Thats just irresponsible. The idiotic way the Marlins handled Eury last year especially is probably somewhat why this happened. Along with the aforementioned issues. Kids have been brought up gradually with a 20% increase in innings from prior year for DECADES. thats not anything new. Its the other factors that have changed the equation. 1. breaking balls before kids arms are really developed hurts 2. year round baseball has hurt 3. the reliance on velocity being the mostly anything that matters mantra 4. a subset of 3 is the 100% every pitch mentality especially for starters 5. the up/down constantly Until things change on the youth level this epidemic isnt going away though folks.
April 6, 20242 yr Ill also be curious to see if we see a spike in TJ's after a few years with the pitch clock in place. I still think that fuc*ed up Sandy last year. He wasn't a slow pitcher by any means before it like others but I do think it screwed his rhythm up.

Unfortunately people’s attention spans have gotten so short and the desire and need for constant stimulation has forced MLB to try to be more fast pace like Basketball and Football just to keep people tuned in and more $$$ for the owners. Unfortunately pitchers are the ones who will pay the most in the end as the standard requirement is “you need to be pumping out those 99+ mph fastballs every 10 seconds” just so the average baseball watcher doesn’t get bored and change the channel. 😂

Sandy throws a "power change" and, not entirely sure, but was Eury throwing the sweeper? Those two have been shown to put a ton of strain on the elbow.

I know that wouldnt have worked unfortunately. I still think it's going to really hurt pitching health within the next couple of years for sure.

Just speeding up the damage to young pitchers arms so if they finally make the big leagues they will get hurt sooner than later. 😂 Just kidding. I’m not a doctor. I don’t know how that works. But it fits the narrative of this thread so I’m going with that.

April 7, 20242 yr Is MLB going to stop using velocity or spin rate as what they base drafting and signing international free agents on then?

April 7, 20242 yr Tyler Glasnow mentioned when they banned sticky stuff that he had to grip the ball so much harder and he ended up having soreness "in muscles I didn't even know I had," and he ended up having TJ shortly after.
April 7, 20242 yr Author 2 minutes ago, Michael said: he had to grip the ball so much harder This is just erotica
April 7, 20242 yr Just now, Admin said: This is just erotica But also a much larger reason for pitching injuries than pitch clock. Lol
