I am officially in the Boof Bonser fan club
-
I am good, actually exceptionally good. The sox are losing, the yankees are winning, and I graduate on friday
-
Hall is the backup plan, as Iglesias isnt ready yet and Lowrie is nursing a sore vagina.
-
He wasnt a knuckleballer when he was initially drafted. He threw pretty hard when he was initially taken, but couldnt locate.

There should be more strict ideas on what a D1 team is. How can you be D1, when you have absolutely no shot at winning anything on 150 of the 220 teams? How bout you break up the major conferences and the lesser conferences. Take the solid, bowl contending teams and arrange them by region, including some of the lesser division powerhouses (like Boise). Then the rest of the suck be re-aligned into a lesser divison. Still D1, but not really. And have 5 yr re-evaluations, allowing for teams to slip into and out of the major conferences. It might be unfair for a singular season, but it would require that a program proves its worth over 5 yrs to be considered for a prime time shot. Kinda like a D2 team moving up to D1.

True, true. Just this bag of suck team should be swept by any team within sniffing distance of playoff contention. Only true morons would root for this suckass team.
-
I think a massive amount of this hinges on how a kid is raised. Hell, RA Dickey became a major league pitcher without a UCL. Yep, that's right, he has no ulnar collateral ligament. He was born without one. That should be impossible, but obviously, it isnt.
-
This is a team that we both should sweep. Just kinda sucks that we gave up a 6 run lead to this scrub offense to avoid the sweep
-
Lets just put it this way. I don't discount their ideas, I would just like them to prove it over a finite amount of time before I digest it as fact.

There are thousands of examples of guys with bad mechanics having no health problems and guys with "perfect" mechanics who blow out their arms. That's the problem, only time will tell, as with everyone. This is more of the "we both have two separate opinions" problem. Since we truly have no actual, tangible evidence, both of us could be right and both could be wrong.

Cortisone is a steroid and is usually mixed with an anesthetic. The anesthetic works immediately, the steroid works over a few hours. The hope is to decrease inflammation, but repeated injections cause damage to the joint space, so no, you cannot do that forever. The treatment for this is rest, which is something he won't be doing. Either he is working out with an eye towards the neck, ie strengthening exercises and avoidance of significant neck strain, or he just gets better on its own. Or, he goes the other way and needs to have it fixed or be placed on the DL. When the sox get healthier, it might behoove the sox to give Hall a start or two a week at SS and give Scutaro some time off
-
The two examples I provided show you what consensus and expert opinion lead you to. Mostly ignorance. Without actual evidence, actual measurements, actual data, the idea is just that. An unproven idea making people a LOT of money. That's the point. You can make assumptions, predictions, ideas, etc, but without evidence, it's all fluff. I won't get into a fight with you on this, since I don't expect you to understand. It took me a few yrs of medical school to get my mind wrapped around the idea since a lot of people are used to just being spoon-fed by people we assume are experts on stuff and believe everything at face value. This is the problem. And, if these guys' probabilities of injury are so sky high, why do teams keep drafting them? Well, because of the last statements in that article. He could be Mark Prior or John Smoltz. Kinda big window there, right?
-
I have an idea. Look it up. It makes you look less like a backcountry hick with a 2nd grade education. BTW, it's Pomeranz
-
Yeah, that helps. Drew "Whatever his name is".
-
You are using anecdotal evidence based on expert "opinion". That is classified as level 5 evidence. There are 4 levels ahead of that which are better. I practice evidence based care, and the anecdotal type of "evidence" is sorely lacking in well, actual evidence. If we practiced that way, then vaccines never would have become important and the world would still be "flat". I am saying that expert opinion is only as good as the evidence that the expert has.

The #2 pick this yr was one of the best HS pitchers to come out in a LOOONG time. Taillon is gonna be f***ing ridiculous.
-
If I were you, I would root for your team to lose ASAP so they can get the top pick. They are going nowhere
-
No, it's the moronic fans that turn all players there to suck. And the pollution

How much more stress? How many m-kg of tourque are we talking? Are we sure that he hasnt overcompensated for that by further strengthening the the arm? How much tourque is enough to tear his UCL? His supraspinatous tendon? His teres minor tendon? That's the thing. There are no measurements of the tourque, which is the only way to standardize the stress on his joints. Otherwise, all it is is observation of what is "vigorous" and what is overly stressful. See what I mean? It's a biased opinion impossible to be proven
-
-
That's more realistic, actually
-
I must say, though, a lot of this "Inverted W" and strain/stress stuff has never actually been proven to be detrimental to the arm any more than the standard "perfect" motion. I understand kinesiology and the physics of it, but none of the above has actually proven to contribute to injury. It's all theory. And I will tell you, when it comes to the body, theory is wrong a lot more than you think

Hey, we have a runner on 2nd and no outs. Will we score? I bet not -
Masterson was like this when he faced the Yanks too. When he keeps the ball low in the zone, he gets grounder after grounder. His problem early in the yr was both wildness outside the zone and wildness up in the zone. Elevated sinkers are beatiful homerballs
