I imagine most males on this forum have a forearm strain.

Some, primarily, due to performing "The Stranger" on themselves.

Troubling. It may be time to seriously consider limiting Shoemaker to the pen once/if he returns. It sounds like starts are too taxing on his arm and he's capping out.

Yep, being saying that since 2017.

He throws far too many splitters to stay healthy over 180 innings each season.   The splitter puts extra stress on the forearm.

The stranger is usually named Rosey Palm.

Fixed.
