Brilliant if the second best wasn't a complete bust. How Hahn keeps his job? Anyone got that Charlie from Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme right about now?

greg775 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Just saw Liam is hurt. Three weeks? Damn. Is baseball as a sport in trouble? Seems like the majority of Sox players are hurt or have been hurt this year. Is this a sport where pitchers just physically can't go? And hitters can't take the quick movements left, right, up and back? Insanity regarding injuries in baseball.

Colome's Hat Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 For what it's worth, Andrew Miller had a flexor strain in 2015 and returned within a month. And didn't have Tommy John Surgery. Obviously that's ideal but it might be the best one to one comparison in terms of career and usage. Ptatc knows more than any of us but it might not be as bleak as we think it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The thing about Major league baseball, as in life, no one is irreplaceable. If Joe Kelly can remain healthy, he can fill in as Closer. He might even thrive in that role for us. Hendricks was lit up a few times by hitters who geared up for his fastball. He countered by mixing in more sliders and it proved to be a good strategy. However, I wonder if his slider put more strain on his forearm than his fastball. even though they both look like maximum effort pitches. Anyway, I wish him the best.

Chisoxfn Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Really hope this is a minor set back and with rest he comes back with no long term issues and we get to enjoy one of the most bad ass closers in the game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale was diagnosed with a flexor strain in March of 2020. 2 weeks later it’s announced he is having TJS. Crochet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an insufferable assclown. Sometimes you take away one of the most important players on the team and it can actually have a positive effect as others rally and pick up the slack, like the GS Warriors growing and maturing their roster while Klay Thompson was out… Graveman gets to go back to closing again, for example. Kelly moves to the 8th and other relievers (Lopez, Foster, Ruiz) have to cover the 7th. That said, him missing the rest of 2022 and at least half of 2023 would be a disaster of epic proportions.

Colome's Hat Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Did a bit more digging. Only 20% of flexor strains result in Tommy John surgery according to statistics I read via the magic of Google. Tanner Houck also got shut down with a right flexor strain earlier this year and he's doing ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year out makes sense for a correlation to the forearm strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
