wtf! Lets hope with the new medical staff its actually just 15 days

 

But shoulders, for pitchers, could be worse.

any sort of torn muscle issue involving rotator cuff/labrum it’s probably season ending.

Hopefully more just whatever “dead arm” used to be, which can happen as they ramp up from ST to full work loads in just 1-2 weeks.

 

It’s not going to be just 15 days. Has nothing to do with the medical staff, they will just move him to the 60 day if needed.

 

Well this start by LMJ today just became a lot more important. Hopefully his first one wasn’t a fluke because we actually need him now with Javier looking awful and Hunter out for however long that’s going to be.

 

What other starting pitchers do we have in the wings/coming back from injury ?

arrighetti
France
Blanco
Walter ? (Prob not)
Blubaugh
Alexander …

 

Weiss and Teng could be stretched out. There was talk about converting Nate Pearson to a starter and he’s also on the IL.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get to the point where France or Alexander are making starts for us.

 

Yeah, just a wink and nod to them calling it a strain and not something generic... baby steps

 

Ooof….

 

Let's trade him

 

For what

 

So it begins.......

I knew things were going too well

 

Skubal?

 

Dang - No Pena and back to Diaz?

 

You didn’t think Vazquez was gonna be our everyday catcher did you?

 

Why bring Whitcomb up to start Allen? I hate that this career journeyman without a bat made our team.

 

SCHN and their audio engineers need to figure out the intermittent volume change during their broadcast

 

Dang. Lopez hitting his spots

 

correa had the most hittable pitches

just couldn't get his timing down.

 

Allen is probably starting over Whitcomb for the same reason he made the team over Whitcomb.
