The delabar throwing program is a bit of a misnomer....it's the delabar holding on to the ball program. It occured to the developers of the program that tennis players never have bad shoulders. They have bad elbows, but not bad shoulders and the serve is a lot like the motion of pitching. The difference is they don't release the raquet. The delabar throwing program uses 6 ounce to 2 pound balls where you increase the strength on the front of the shoulder when you release the ball, and when you make the motion and hold on you are increasing the strength of the back of the shoulder causing more well balanced strenth in the shoulder, one less prone to injury and one that enables you to throw the a baseball harder. This is an oversimplification, but the coles notes version based on what I saw on a piece describing the program.

He's been pitching non stop since training camp...they just never put him in official minor league games until now because it started the clock. I agree he will be in the bullpen, but if they wanted to, I think they could stretch him out to be a starter in a matter of a couple weeks...he could easily go 50 to 60 pitches in his next outing if they needed.
-
I'm pretty sure the plan if for mcgowan to be in the bullpen not hte rotation.
-
Shi Davidi tweeted the following: Dustin McGowan eligible to come off 60-day DL May 30. "I expect him to be ready,” says AA See you in two weeks and a day Dusty!
-
given the status of our rotation I wish they would stretch him out, but I doubt they will. He really shouldn't pitch that long in dunedin...Dustin throwing 96 just isn't fair at single A ball. Give him a couple games and bring him up to AAA.
-
as soon as I saw lind I thought he was going to get a hit..
-
lind is a hitting machine now
-
If I didn't know better from reading these boards, I'd say Jose was a pretty good player..lol
-
I'll take that everytime....nothing wrong with a 3.00 ERA...
-
pull melky now...let him rest...we don't need another person on the DL...
-
Did you see the look gibby gave izturis...there's no way he had the steal sign...he messed up.
-
there was an article a week ago on Dustin and he was doing the delabar program more for recovery. It was really helping with his recovery and he was feeling really well the day after pitching but he did indicate he noticed more zip on his pitches as well..
-
man...if we can get Edwin and jose going...we might have something cooking..
-
dempsters pitch count already at 48...
-
kawasaki delivers...sweet
-
because they aren't as good of hitters as lindy..go lindy go!
-
Lind should be batting 4th, but gibby has taken heat for changing the lineup too much so he's going to roll with the same lineup as yesterday..lol
-
I hear a lot of names people are complaining about except the one guy everyone wanted gone after the first week of the season...yup adam lind. There were one or two of us who stood by lindy and indicated he was having quality at bats, working the count, not striking out and taking walks back when he was 0 for 14 to start the season and that the hits would come. Lind is a thing of beauty..he doesn't have to overswing to generate power. When you overswing you lose the angles that allow you to stay on the ball and square it up....Lindy is such a different looking player this year.
-
I've been calling for lind to play every day for a long time....he looks like a completely differnt player at the plate against righties too...he's way more patient...he's laying off pitches he used to swing over top of. With Davis out there's no way you can sit him, but he should have been playing over rasmus against lefties all season.
-
you got to be kidding me....crap
-
casey trying to complete the perfect game...2 more outs
-
adam lind owns all parks right now...he's our best hitter at the moment...it's jose, lindy and melky right now driving the bus
-
420 to straight away centre...0 2 count...old lindy striked out..new patient lindy gets it back to a good 2 2 count and crushes one....totally different player now...
-
anyone believe me that Lindy is legit yet....
-
adam lind is out most patient hitter by a mile...ok...bats and lind
