Rangers SP Injuries

[Inside Pitch]

I hope every one of them has season-ending surgery

 

Normally I don't really like seeing other teams struggle with things like injuries but thanks to Jamey Newberg and his tendency to revel in the misfortunes of the Angels when it happens to us I'm not really broken up about it.

This is one of a couple stories I have seen that includes info on not releasing the ball. Will try and find the others to post.

Awesome, THANK YOU.

Ibanez worked on the same program this winter. Swung the bat 500 times a day without hitting an actual ball.

It's hard to feel sorry for the Rangers when they are jerks to each other.

Is there any way taking peds could cause this? Increase muscle mass causes you to throw harder than your ligaments can handle and stretches them out?

[KingJustinian]

It's probably a lot of factors.. But throwing super hard has to put more stress on your arm. Kids are throwing more innings and more off speed pitches at younger ages, too. My dad never let me throw a slider and didnt let me throw a curve until I was a teenager, and that's later than most.

I also think that baseball has become a year round sport.  Never giving the body time to heal or rest. Eventually, the wear and tear will take its toll. I'm sure that when the old timers were in high school or earlier, when the season ended, it ended. You didn't have travel ball and winter ball.

Wow, that makes Aybar look like a damn genius in comparison to Elvis. What an idiot.

I dont feel sorry for them at all. Im sure they didnt feel sorry for the Angels when Weaver broke his elbow in Arlington last season.

Awwww shucks. 

[DoubleOffTheWall]

Six man rotations would be a good solution

 

Miss all the junk throwing pitchers from back in the day

Martin Perez To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

By Steve Adams [May 15, 2014 at 5:05pm CDT]

Rangers lefty Martin Perez has decided to undergo Tommy John surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, the pitcher himself told Marcos Grunfeld of Venezuelan newspaper La Vinotinto (Twitter link, with a hat tip to the Dallas Morning News’ Gerry Fraley).

The 23-year-old Perez is the latest in a landslide of Tommy John surgeries and the second Rangers pitcher to go down to the operation this season (lefty reliever Pedro Figueroa underwent the procedure earlier this year). The news is a crushing blow to a Rangers staff that has been bombarded with injuries. Derek Holland is out through the All-Star break, Yu Darvish opened the season on the DL (though he’s healthy now) and Matt Harrison‘s resurgent back injury could now be career-threatening, according to recent reports.

Among the game’s other young starters that have undergone the season-ending operation (or will undergo it) are Jose Fernandez, Jarrod Parker, Patrick Corbin, Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy, Matt Moore, Ivan Nova, A.J. Griffin and Jameson Taillon.

Makes no difference to me who is injured on the Rangers. Whom ever the Rangers play always seems to beat a healthy Angels team.

He has also done that during this season.

[Taylor]

Sounds a lot like his season so far

 

Darn, you beat me to it.

Would Don Sutton have a job in today's MLB?
