I posted something similar to this a while back, saying that young pitchers basically aren't allowed to give their arms a break anymore. Of course, coming from Dr. Andrews it carries a lot more weight. -
I disagree. I think the line of thinking that young players that are stressing the s*** out of their ligaments in their formative years and thus having them break more often is a pretty logical thought. Not sure how you'd prove it unless you followed a huge number of kids from the time they were 12 to 25 and compare the injury numbers on some kids who didn't throw the breaking stuff vs those who do. Problem is, how are you ever going to find kids that exclusively throw fastballs before college... It's practically unheard of now.

Jose thought he was being crafty, after seeing those double steals off the Jays in the past few games. Problem is, Jose sucks at base running. Zaun made a good point though, if Jose has that constant green light thing, the jays bench should have given him the red light signs in that situation to prevent him from trying to be crafty. Yes,... I know i said Zaun is right... I feel sick already
-
wtf Jose.... That's just stupid
-
Sox must have a man in Red in the outfield stands stealing signs.

Peavy 21 pitches, 18 strikes through 2 innings.
-
Shouldn't be afraid of any team in any series...
-
Peavy has it going tonight, this is going to be a long night
-
Could never trade him and his contract this early in the season.
-
Peavy really hitting the edges tonight well so far
-
Wow, just zero plate discipline tonight....
-
People couldn't seriously expect his 93% strand rate to hold up...
-
Do you see that Rivera? Ball in the air already back towards the IF and the runner is stopped at third? Not waved around into an obvious out at the plate?
-
To be fair, Zaun thinks avg against is an advanced stat.
-
He's just looking at this years 27 PA sample size. You know... Reliable data for Buck
-
Hey look, Napoi not swinging at borderline pitches until he gets to two strikes... Takes a walk.... f***ing revolutionary
-
Swing at s***** pitches, you won't see anything but.... Sure you'll get the odd mistake and may get something done a few times a week, but that half inning was probably the single worst half inning I've seen from jays hitters this year. Looked like they were guessing ...and guessing very poorly
-
What the s*** is this.... Swing at strikes boys...

AA: Jays need to upgrade at the 5th starter and 2B spot
John_Havok replied to TDotttt2005's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It was written in November. And then December, January, February, March and now April. AA had 5 months to upgrade at these positions and sat around waiting for prices to drop on free agents, it never happened and now he's up s*** Greek without a paddle. -

Admittedly I didn't hear what Zaun has to say, but there is lots left to be desired by the Jays offense. They are not a consistent threat at the plate inning after inning. More than half the lineup is practically useless on any given day. They score in bunches, but once they've scored big in one inning, they go silent for the rest of the game. Sustained pressure on the opposing pitcher is virtually non existent. -
f*** sakes... This many picks I should have one by now... This is embarrassing
-
As much as people want robot umps... I think it would be a huge benefit to the pitchers. How many strikes aren't called at the bottom and top of the zone on breaking balls that just barely clip the edge of the zone.... I think hitters would be even more f***ed than they are now
-
Never seen so many guys gunned at home from bad calls by the 3b coach. When the ball is already halfway to the cutoff man and the base runner is just getting to third.... Don't send him!
-
I dunno, putting more crappy starters in between your good ones doesn't sound like a good plan to me.
