Yep. For Robert probably a little isometric and ROM type stuff. With Jimenez being about 2 months post-op they are trying to get near full range and and starting strengthening in a shortened range of the muscles nothing near end range to stress the repair.

Exactly.

With 2 hits as well. He gassed himself to get those strikeouts.

He was starting to give up hard hits. It was fine.

Yep. They don't care if he's worn down by the end of the season. They will have Jimenez and most likely Robert back by then.

Because he hasn't thrown that many in a couple of years he only had 15 or so last year. He has already had a couple of times he needed to go on the IL. They won't risk the health of their 1st round pick.

Got it. Thanks.

Isn't that maintenance, nagging injuries?

I don't believe this is true. There was a situation a couple of against Minnesota when Abreu tagged the bag, getting that runner, then threw to second to get the non=force double play. Stone and Benetti were saying that if Donalson had hustled home instead of dogging it the run would've counted. I think

Obviously, you haven't spent much time on Soxtalk, especially the game threads.

I think the plan is for 2023 for starting anyway. He can't go much more than 60 with his limited inning history.

Because it's not sticky enough to get a proper grip and they say there would be many hit batters and wild pitches if they do use "a little something else."

There's nothing wrong with telling players to change hats. Maybe I'm optimistic but maybe by confiscating this type of equipment they can settle on a standardized substance that can somehow be easily identified. This will be the next step once theyegalize a substance they will need an easy way to identify it as pitchers will continue to try to disguise their substance as the legal one. This problem will never end as pitchers as well as hitters will always try to get an advantage legal or not.

I wonder if he saw him doctoring the hat in the dugout. Maybe the MLB is telling them to watch? It just seems weird for how to police it.

I'm not sure either. I didn't watch the game. Maybe he was obvious with going to it. Or maybe it was just a Joe West thing.

I would agree with the situation. It's the comments after the game that it isn't the job of the umpires. I'm not really sure whose job it is then. Does the league just pick out hats and gloves from video to confiscate?

I really don't understand why schildt thinks it's not the job of umpires to deal with foreign substances. The pitcher was asked to change hats not to leave the game.

Those who live in the past suffer depression. Those who live in the future suffer anxiety Only Those who live in the present find peace.

The Sox seem to have a lot of awkward injuries this year. Difficult to explain.

I was trying to explain what happened to Rodons shoulder and why he may be a risk for an extended contract and it got really weird.

Scar tissue doesn't just form from nothing. Some tissue that is already there has to be injured to from a scar. In this case it's the bursa. There is no other tissue in the subacromial area that would from into scar tissue if the rotator cuff and labrum are normal.

And what tissue was chronically inflamed that it became scar tissue and needed to be removed..........the bursa. It says it right in your explanation.

Many pitchers are pitching with missing many tissues in their shoulders. Once they have a surgery the anatomy is never normal again.

And in this case it was the bursa. Everything else was deemed to he normal.
