johnnymick Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I am sure that they are confident in what they are doing with Sale. This is their jobs. Everything that we are saying in this thread has been thought about by the Sox and they are acting in the way they feel is best given all of the information.

Chisoxfn Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) Exactly. DL him. Saying he needs to throw thorugh it is not correct. Shut him down. Dead arms are something you pitch threw. Hurt arms are something you don't. There is a major difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a major difference. My point is he hasn't pitched this many innings in how long? He might start trying to make up for the reduced speed by altering his mechanics. That's my concern. He is down 8mph on his fastball. That isn't normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I will point out, there are 2 schools of thought on dead arms. Another school is you do rest them for a week to two weeks with no throwing. The other is you pitch threw it and the body comes back. The more popular route is to pitch thew it, but I personally am not a medical expert.

It's got to be impossible for the Sox staff to project what will happen with Sale this year. He's a very unique pitcher in a unique situation.

Typically you change your mechancis when your arm hurts. Not when there is no pain and the velocity is just down. Especially if you are being told its a "dead arm", don't do anything else. Trust me, I tore my rotator cuff in high school and before finally having surgery on it, I tried to pitch threw and screwed everything up. Thankfully I was never very good and didn't need to throw a mid 80's fastball to advance professionally (cause if I did, i'd be screwed cause I can barely hit 65 now, haha.

JohnCangelosi Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Two nice swings by Gordon tonight, reminiscent of 2009. Confident. Short. Quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The fact that Sale is still pumping strikes is another good sign. Normally when you really mess with mechanics the command goes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
