Who hasn't fractured their hand in a little bump playing video games?

 

Lol dude probably lost a game of Warzone and punched a wall or something. What a bs excuse

I ended up with a "mallet finger" after something fell out of the freezer and I caught it poorly. Took months of rehab to get it back to normal.

Aroldis Chapman has 24 strikeouts and 3 walks in 10 innings. He continues to have a negative FIP and xFIP. He struck out 2 hitters in the 9th inning and his K/9 went down.

Travis d'Arnaud to the 60 day IL due to thumb sprain in yesterday's game

60 day? Surgery for sure... Yikes!

[Spanky__99]

Jesus, McCaan has been garbage for the Mets offensively. Dat contract, lol.

[BTS]

Do the Rockies just hate their fans?

 

[King]

Mike Trout is hitting 413/515/775 with a 257 wRC+

[G-Snarls]

Kluber looking stronger

 

Went 8 scoreless last night. Though it was against the Tigers

[keggy]

Travis d'Arnaud to the 60 day IL due to thumb sprain in yesterday's game

 

Horrible break for the d'Arnaud and the Braves. Thumb strength on the glove hand is more important for a catcher than any other position on the diamond.

 

Pure speculation but he might be done for the season and could take even longer than that to get right.

[BTS]

s*****. He was breaking out into an ace, and is really fun to watch. Now we probably don't see him again until 2023.

Wouldn't he be back by like mid-late 2022?

No more Sideshow Bob dealing for awhile.

[Spanky__99]

It's usually an 18 month rehab, he could make it back to relieve at best, but I doubt it.

Ah for some reason I thought it was closer to 12 months rehab

[Spanky__99]

There's been some relievers that have done that, position players even shorter.

[Slade]

Damn that sucks for May, he was fun to watch.

[Brownie19]

That's awful for baseball. I guess that's why the Dodgers kept Price around though.

And Price is on the IL, lol.

[Spanky__99]

f*** Matz!

[Abomination]

And Price is on the IL, lol.

 

They'll probably sign Diesel and he'll suddenly add 5 mph to his fastball.

[Brownie19]

And Price is on the IL, lol.

 

Apparently they will consider Bauer on short rest until Gosslin and Price are healthy.

 

I guess Bauer kind of gave up on that request/demand eh?

[RobinThicc]

So many injuries. Damn

[G-Snarls]

Yeah this is the worst time of year to get TJS

 

You miss almost 2 full seasons

[G-Snarls]

That's the exception not the norm for starting pitchers. 15-18 months is still more typical.

[BTS]

Kershaw possibly hurt? Gave up 4 in the first, then didn't go back out for the 2nd.

[Jimcanuck]

At this rate, they will have to lower the draft eligibility for pitchers, and sign IFA pitchers at 14 yrs old.

Or teams will have to start signing guys who don't throw max effort. The Buehrle and Moyer types may not be exciting, but they didn't break down either.

That would be good, to change the focus from maximizing velocity, extending pitching mechanics to the physical limit.

 

However, a team that does would take the risk of falling behind. I am sure there are good statistics to back up the pursuit of high octane arms.
