I wonder what my thoughts would have been 15 years ago when we would be complaining about only winning the divsion?

You to define stretching. Passive stretching, which I grew up with, where you are in a position and try to lengthen the muscles has been shown to actually cause more muscle injuries than it prevents, unless you have a significant decrease in range of motion. It has also been shown to decrease power and performance during athletic activity. Dynamic stretching such as monster walks and high knee drills are the best activities to get the muscles ready for athletic performance. However your overall point that there needs to be a significant overhaul in their off season training is right on point.

That is a good sign.

I'm saying that's the most likely worst case. Until most information is released like the grade of tear it's impossible to give an accurate time table. Most significant muscle injuries fall in that timeline. I only saw the clip afterwards and it looked like a significant injury but there us no way to tell for sure unless you are there to test it.

Most likely 8-12 weeks is usually the most conservative estimates. I wouldn't think it more than that unless surgery is involved.

That's fine but would you not have drafted him because TA was at short?

Just because you think that doesn't make it right. Detroit also drafted Torkelson high. Apparently there are a few MLB GMs disagree with you. Besides that wasn't what you said. You said don't draft him because he was blocked. Which implies don't take the player you consider the best because they already have an MLB player at his position. Which is always wrong.

Drafting for need and not the player they consider the best is a mistake everytime especially in baseball where the hit rate is so low.

They still get at least some.

All depends on the deal they get. The bigger the contract the less of it that is covered. I was just estimating.

That's about 1/3 of the contract insurance will pay.

I hope they consider his future depending in how soft it gets.

Throwing is all acceleration and deceleration of body segments. Most of the acceleration is from the legs and trunk as the force of the large muscle is transmitted up the kinematic chain to the arm. You are correct the arm just controls the ball for the most part. The UCL comes under stress because the force of the acceleration is greater than the tensile strength of ligament when the ligament is put under undue stress from being in a poor mechanical position.

Yes, recovering from fatigue is what you do to increase strength and endurance. That's what the vast majority of working out is.

Didn't have a chance to read the game thread. Should the Sox trade every one or not after today's game?

Correct. I thought they said they estimated June to return to the MLB.

Last published was early June.

He knows he needs to have a limit on his innings. He should have input on how it's done. Not the only say nor even thefinal say but input.

It's very important. Pitchers have to be comfortable with it, otherwise they will not pitch well and they will not get to the WS. There is a mental part to pitching that you can't ignore. If they work on it in the off season and are prepared for it, that's one thing. To change it all in the middle of a season with high expectations is another.

It will depend on the other starters. Going to a 6 man may throw them off. Would not be good to throw off the entire rotation for one person.

Either method would work. I think it will come down to Kopech's preference.

Hopefully, they spread it out so they don't need to do that.

Soak it in vodka and it doesn't matter. ?

I was down the third base line and higher up. I could see people moving through the corn in RF but not who is was or if they found it.

Or at regular intervals that make it the correct rhythm.
