I remember Yu Darvish used to throw one in Texas and eventually ditched it. zoux posted:I thought the slider was the elbow killer Slurves are what ended Kerry Wood and Mark Prior's careers.

Of course all the cool pitches my guy throws in RTTS are the ones that are hell on elbows IRL.

Timby posted:Both the forkball and splitter are considered to be hell on elbows nowadays. I've seen this a few times now but is there anything out there that conclusively proves it? zoux posted:I thought the slider was the elbow killer I think the issue with sliders and UCLs is when you throw them wrong and supinate to generate the spin. Apparently pronation doesn't actually put too much strain on your ligaments (comparatively, at least) whereas supination is really, really stressful. The main corollary to UCL injuries is still just velo though, as far as I know. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Aug 28, 2019 |

Inspector_666 posted:I've seen this a few times now but is there anything out there that conclusively proves it? As far as I know there is just anecdotes on splitters (or any other pitch) causing more UCL damage than other pitches. It would be really interesting to look at Tommy John rates in the MLB compared to the NPB, since they throw all the supposedly bad for your arm pitches way more commonly in Japan than in the states.They also don't really do pitch count limits. Based on that you would expect their surgery rate to be much higher.

Don't NPB starters only pitch every sixth day though?

I love how Bob Johnson, after his massive clocking, holds the ball up momentarily, with a certain pride, before he realizes gently caress the ball.

Every other team in MLB has. drat, they've only played 11 postseason series (in 9 postseason trips) in the span of 119 seasons. The Red Sox have had 11 in the last 11 seasons (if my counting is correct).

Everyone should just throw the gyro ball forever. It's definitely a thing, going to dominate the majors.

I had read about the 10 cent beer night but I guess not in depth. Fans were literally tearing the seats apart and using pieces of them as weapons. The home team had to fight their own fans off with bats because the visiting team’s lives were in danger as hundreds of fans stormed the field with knives, chains, and other weapons. Makes the Malice in the Palace seem like a pillow fight.

Aristides Aquino has a higher SLG% through 100 PAs than Jeff Francoeur, but fell short of Francoeur in SLG% thru 25 Games. I'm sure this is what every Reds fan was waiting on: Jeff Francoeur comparisons.

The Cubs have won their first asterisk-less road series since May. Although you can also say that the Cubs have won their second* road series in a row  *You could argue the Pirates series was a split on the road next to a win in neutral territory, but eh

Strasburgs UCL posted:Yeah that's true, I forgot about that. I am not sure if that necessarily counteracts the higher pitch counts, but its definitely worth noting. NPB rosters 6 starters, and generally other then a few times a year all teams have an off day every Monday. So a NPB starter will pitch about once a week. And some teams ride their starters harder then others. And their season is 142 games.
