It's almost like the baseball gods are punishing the Yankees for not parting ways with Cash...
-
Cashman's acquisitions since last year's trading deadline: Montas - injured Bader - injured Trivino - injured Effross - injured Rodon - injured Kahnle - injured
-
Well, I hope we do get him back, that would be excellent.
-
Song was interviewed last night, but there was not a word about when he expects to appear in a game. It has to be pretty soon...
-
OK, forget the comparison with Paxton. The fact is that 2022 was the first time Rodon had put in a full season since 2016. One season doesn't put injury concerns to rest.
-
What's wrong with since 2017? What time period would you use?
-
Shocking that Jax is missing some of the factual information!
-
Wow.
-
You like the pizza boxes.
-
It looks like they're pushing some of the other relievers to pitch more than 1 inning sometimes too (Bleier, Brasier).
-
Yes, it's all part of the circus that is the beginning of the 2023 season.
-
The mystery we're trying to unravel is why more pitchers seem to get injured even when they pitch a lot less. I'm pretty sure there's a simple scientific explanation, and it's more stress being placed on arms. And Tommy John surgeries are all about the exact same part of the arm getting damaged, right?
-
That's our man!
-
Don't you think there have to be physical differences in order for the ball to be thrown 10 MPH harder or more? I don't think there were any pitchers back then built like Aroldis Chapman.
-
Something tells me Casas is a playah.
-
For clarification, Clemens hit Piazza in the head in an earlier regular season game, not the WS game.
-
On that 1980 team the 5 starters threw a combined total of 1257.33 innings. That's 5 pitchers, averaging 251.5 innings apiece.
-
Velocity is one thing that's increased, spin rate is another. Didn't someone once blame the slider for the increase in injuries? As far as innings are concerned, Billy Martin's 1980 Oakland A's seem to have been kind of a Ground Zero for what we call "babying". Martin had a bunch of young starters and he had them throw a ton of innings, and those starters all had rather abbreviated careers.
-
Plausible theory.
-
None of the injuries are serious. But man, pitchers are scary individuals. I don't think it's hyperbole to say they're more prone to injury all the time. I can only surmise it's from throwing so hard and putting so much spin on the ball. Nothing to do with babying or anything like that. Pitching at a high level is just crazy hard on the human arm.
-
Jeez I hope Turner is OK.
-
I've always thought Dice-K's career was cut short by the second WBC. They reportedly rode him hard, and he was never the same after it.
-
Wonderful attitude!
-
From your lips to God's ears.
-
I think you can both be right. notin is correct that teams are obviously still intent on ways to do things that Manfred and the fans don't want to see. So that's kind of a big deal, and I'll bet Manfred is already talking about whether a tweak is needed.
