Thorpe to get TJS per Merkin 3/22


Heads22

Recommended Posts

Sometimes (most of the time??) it is so difficult to be a White Sox fan. 

The team has been playing better; I've been able to convince myself that they will only be bad and not terrible. 

But driving home and listening to the game, I hear first about TJS for Thorpe (not unexpected; we were all saying this last fall). And then I hear about Drury's thumb injury, completely out of the blue. I had such high hopes for Drury. 

Two of the few players I was really excited about this year are out for long periods of time. Just God Damn. 

It is soooo tough to be a White Sox fan.

Live long enough to see new ownership and it will get better.

Taylor especially.  The other guys seem to have decent histories, but Grant Taylor needs to get there

Yeah, he has an extensive injury. Smith had his UCL reconstruction but it was 5 years ago or so.

Schultz with those long levers is a risk. Odds are you can count on him having one at some point.

Rodon has held up fairly decently...enough to get rewarded with big contracts on multiple occasions.

Even Giolito got bailed out by the Red Sox front office.

I disagree, Drew is going to be the jewel that that makes that trade a success, maybe not next month put it will happen. 

And really, my crystal ball is just as truthful as yours.

Jewel………Your crystal ball is cloudy. Looking at a 2 year window of very little success.

It's interesting. The previous surgery was for bone spurs. Has nothing to do with the ligament. 

Expand  

Anytime you have a surgery you are in danger of altering the mechanics/geometry of the joint and thus the ligaments holding it together. It’s likely the surgery and subsequent inflammation etc… changed the way his elbow worked causing additional stress on the UCL. Just my thoughts on the matter. Doesn’t really surprise me.

Only if the surgeon put one of the portals in the wrong place. This would have been an arthroscopic procedure not an open one so they don't cut through tissue. Even if they did an open procedure the UCL is extrarticular and would not be involved in the process. Even with inflammation it would effect the joint capsule but not the ligaments.

When they remove the bone spurs they don't change the shape. of the joint.

If the surgeons made that significant of an error he would not have been pitching.

There’s probably no way we will ever know for sure if the injuries were related.  It would just be speculation from here.  HIPAA will deny us access to this news and I doubt Getz and the Sox would ever admit responsibility, even if it was their fault.

If it was,we will hear about the lawsuit for the surgeon. Don't think Getz would have been involved in the surgery.

Small sample size cuz it’s only been 3 months but definitely not trending in the Sox favor compared to other teams.

It's five now.

I think the Mason Adams situation is still up in the air for now about doing the surgery or waiting, yes?

He has a flexor strain which I don’t believe is UCL related. That’s good, because according to this thread Getz will have his hands full with all the TJ lawsuits he has coming.

The data indicate that FF injury is associated with UCL injury in throwing athletes. Future prospective studies should investigate...
