I'd give my soggy left nut to know why modern pitchers can't throw 100 inning without tearing something, while pitchers like Bob Feller, Walter Johnson, Lefty Grove et al could throw 300, 400 innings a season without a catastrophe. Is modern conditioning to blame? Feller's off-season regimen consisted of lifting the occasional free weight, drinking beer and shooting Japs during the war. He never even heard of a UCL, let alone tear it. Maybe pitchers should go back to that (they can refrain from shooing at Japanese, I guess)

Ray Ramirez is the head of the Mets training staff, and every year on Opening Day, he gets roundly booed during the team introductions by the home crowd at Citi Field. The guy is the absolute worst. Every team has injuries, but this guy doesn't seem to have any ability to prevent or mitigate issues before they explode into potentially season-ending injuries. Back in 07 or 08, Ryan Church suffered a concussion so what do they do? They stick him on a plane to Colorado! It turned a one-week absence into a career-ending situation that could have been even worse than that. I think it was that same year, Jose Reyes complained of a sore calf. For some inexplicable reason, they didn't do an MRI and let him play. He exacerbated it and tore his calf. Out for the year. Nonstop with pitchers and their elbows which I get it, its unpredictable, but the Mets have one TJ surgery a year it seems. I blame Ramirez. |

Maybe pitchers should go back to that (they can refrain from shooing at Japanese, I guess) Workout routines are far more advanced and intense than they used to be. My theory is that pitchers workout a lot harder than they used to. they lift more and are stronger than they used to be. this leads to more injured. pitchers just throw harder than they used to on average. they don't have help from PEDs like they did a generation ago. |
