RIPPA Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Spencer Strider is also hurt - starting on the 15 day IL with a sprained UCL MLBPA officially stated that they believe the pitch clock is to blame for all the injuries. MLB responded by saying tests say no its not the pitch clock but just that pitchers are more injury prone now which kinda is missing the point but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Speaking of injured pitchers - Stephen Strasburg has finally officially retired Apparently the Nats and Stras finally worked out the hold up around the remaining money he is owed (Stras is getting all of his money - the Nats are just deferring it - probably to the heat death of the universe) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 as much as I would love to blame anything that's been vomited out of Rob Manfred's Brainstorm Bin in the last 7 or so years, including but not limited to the pitch clock, I really have to figure this is far more due to The Pitching Motion Is Bad On The Human Body and The Pitching Motion Is Especially Bad On The Body When You Expect Everybody To Throw 99mph Over And Over Again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that's probably the truth, but I'm not sure the clock isn't making it just a little bit worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 If I was a betting man - I would put money down on Skip Schumaker being the first manager fired Not only are the Marlins 1-10 to start the season but the club has rescinded Schumaker's option for next year. And now word is the club and manager have been at odds since the firing of Kim Ng since Schumaker wasn't happy about that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about the Marlins whacking Skip quickly is that they built their opening day radio promos around name puns urging people to skip what they were doing to watch the Marlins on opening day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a choice of song alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
