Nobody could possibly think that; Herm is universally loved by everybody and has maybe the greatest track record of any trainer in the history of athletic activity. No, he really believes it. We've had discussions in the past about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go there. The Greg walker incident is actually one of his biggest blunders. But he was really young then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I think you can correlate recovery with trainers, as trainers play an active role in how a player rehabs. This is really more correct. The athletic trainers are involved but the strength and conditioning is as well for the number of players that get injured. For the athletic trainers in isolation, it would be how long they were on the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trainers can't stop young pitchers from trying to throw too hard and people don't like when Coop tells them to rely on other pitches. Some players may get injured because they are too muscle-bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players may get injured because they are too muscle-bound. The too muscle bound really doesn't apply. As long as you maintain the flexibility and strengthen the appropriate muscle groups it's fine. The throwing too hard too often is an unfortunate situation in baseball today.

Ducksnort Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Sad day. Still amazes me that we still have personnel in that dugout dating back to before the 05 championship season. I think Coop is the only one left? His time also is probably coming near to the end. 5 years? Bittersweet this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 When Herm Schneider first stepped foot in the White Sox dugout in 1979, Jane Byrne had just been elected mayor of Chicago, and the manager of the Sox was a player-manager - Don Kessinger. Later that year Kessinger would give way to a rookie manager the Sox brought up from their minor leagues, a guy by the name of Tony LaRussa. That's how far back this guy's tenure with the team goes!

Lip Man 1 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) This does cause some concern for me: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1530943-ex-red-sox-trainer-mike-reinold-injected-players-with-controversial-substance He's now the White Sox senior medical advisor. I hope the Sox did their due diligence on him. Edited December 7, 2018 by Lip Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Sox did their due diligence on him. This practice is common in all professional sports. The PT/AT just isn't allowed to do the injections legally. However, in baseball especially sometimes the physician can't always get there before games and liberties are taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
