Require pitchers to throw under-hand? Do softball pitchers have injuries like this?

About 10 years ago when I was playing softball the pitcher on the other team literally died on the mound. Pitched the first out of the 3rd inning and then just collapsed. He was only in his late 40s.

So, there's that I guess.

MRI Tuesday. "Elbow discomfort".

Angels went most of last year with no lefties in the pen and did okay. Still RIP

I thought everyone was all over Matt Moore having the smoothest easy delivery with awesome mechanics and he needed tj so I don't know what to believe.

The Diamondbacks were so keen on trading Max Scherzer because his delivery was considered violent and prone to injury.

It's something that needs to be studied more by MLB teams, I definitely agree with that part of the WSJ article.

Read Jonah Keri's interview with Glenn Fleisig. The only solutions are good mechanics, don't overthrow, don't pitch fatigued, and don't pitch a lot when you're a kid.

I mean, it would be great if Baez turns out to be awesome, but it would be only slightly less cool if he turned out to be a two true outcomes guy who strikes out 300 times a year and the only time he makes contact would be massive dingshots until he's forced to play in Japan and then hits the dinger equivalent of the width of Honshu.

Or it would have been, had the game not actually been 3-1 Baltimore, with the Orioles picking up 9 hits, the Yankees having 6, and the day's big news being how good Manny Machado looked on both sides of the ball. Not sure which alternate universe that post came from.

New Concept Hole: Oct 10, 2012; 東方動的

I seem to remember a story about when Billy Martin was managing the Athletics in the early 80s, he'd threaten to bring in the bullpen to get his starters to pitch deeper into their games.

I'd like to imagine Dan Uggla fulfilling a similar role to that of said bullpen; You don't want to be the guy that can't play, forcing Dan Uggla to come in and play your position.

He's back, since the Even Year Witchcraft seems to require a second baseman either stop hitting or get horribly injured.

It was a pitchers game for the most part and Manny did look really good. Resorting to a.m radio internet stream today since MASN or MASN2 won't broadcast the BAL vs. TOR game which is total crap, but whatever.

You can listen to spring games for free on MLB.tv (I think). But you should really have a premium subscription anyways, considering it only costs $30 bucks when you split it with goons and it's the best.

Is he really gonna hit Heyward 2nd the whole season? I thought they were gonna toy around with him in spring putting him anywhere from 2-5. I feel like Wong would be the perfect fit for the 2-hole.
