[bloodbrother]

Christ...this franchise just can't go 1 season without a barrage of injuries to pitchers.

I'm telling you all this bad luck began when the team moved the Pechanga sign. 

We have angered the spirits....

The bad luck was long before penchangagate.

[beatlesrule]

Simmons should just sit out the rest of the year.

Seriously though, I am not sure.  The thing that concerns me is that a guy who hasn't pitched a ton of innings is already getting something like this.  Doesn't feel like a great predictor of future health but who knows.  Maybe I'm just down on things right now.  

Sucks for Pena as well because having him as a swing or in some other pen role seemed like a useful thing for next year.  Just another thing for Billy to deal with I guess.  

Acl should not keep you out in 2020.

The irony of you telling an actual doctor this is pretty funny.

Eppler has done a great job building this team from where it was a few years ago. Not his fault on the passing of Skaggs, Tj for most of our pitchers last 4 years, and injuries. 

Yeah the Harvey and Cahil signing didn't work out, but no one was expecting them to he this bad, era over 7! at worst we were expecting Era close to the mid 4s.

Has he really?  It doesnt show in the win/loss column.

It appears that he has improved the roster on paper, but the injuries destroyed it.

Whatever the irony, I know several basketball players who have had the surgery and came back within a few months.  I cant speak fir a baseball player.  However since basketball players consistently jump, cut and pound their knees I wouldnt think its would be longer.

The internet did say typical recovery was 7 to 9 months which puts Pena return  between March or February  

[Stradling]

yea, I read the same thing 6-9 moths which would be him back in May or so at 9 months.  Is it his push off leg or landing leg?

Looks like Bard is next

Maybe Dr. Demento can figure out how to keep the players healthy.

Catching a bit of the game at the gym. Am i crazy, or was Bedrosian pulled and they were checking his elbow?

recon just wants everyone to know that he works out

Hahaha.....Its Canning's fault for signing Stratton, Harvey, Cahill, Allen, Bour, Bourjous.....

Ok, I will tell Canning that he should not be signing guys, since he is a pitcher.  You buffoon. 

[GrittyVeterans]

The pitching staff was bad since day 1. They’ve had bad luck,sure, but this just also was never a playoff team this year. They’re right where I thought they’d be

Besides the fact I totally shredded my quads today, whats up with Bedrosian? 

It may not even have been him. But whatever bearded pitcher I saw was being checked out by the staff, and they were feeling his elbow, then he left the game... anyone have any news on that?

Bard got hit by a line drive back to the mound

I wouldnt think push off is more stressful than cutting and changing direction.   

Yea, I was measuring 9 months from today and not surgery date.

Hey @Jeff Fletcher, has this been the most difficult season you've had to cover to date?
