Chicago White Sox Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Guy just can’t stay healthy. I feel like his entire body has been injured at some point. It’s really unfortunate too because we have him signed to a dirt cheap extension. He’d actually be a pretty valuable trade asset if he could pitch a full season.

Jake Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I don't recall the specifics but @ptatc made a post when this most recent injury was announced and it didn't leave me feeling optimistic about Nate in the long term. The thrust IIRC is that while this injury in isolation shouldn't be insurmountable, it suggests his throwing motion is just so tough on the elbow that after one thing is surgically repaired, that excess stress is just finding a new weakest link. Made me think that he'd either have to dial back the intensity quite a bit (would be hard for anyone to do) or rebuild his motion (also hard to do) if he wants to achieve lasting health.

It would help if he actually used a real follow through to dissipate the forces of the pitch and didn't throw from such a low arm angle. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just as annoying as the injuries this year has been the setbacks and reinjuries. Never seen that happen so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the pitchers, this implies that they aren't changing the issues that caused them in the first place. For the hamstrings and such like Garcia, those commonly reoccur during the season because you can't fully rehab them during the season. You can manage it during the season but to truly get it to heal, you need the off season program of balance and strengthening work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTATC: By "changing" do you mean the individual players or the rehab / recovery program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being on the inside it's impossible to tell which case it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
