Those are unrealistic standards. No one in their right mind would have predicted the Bears to be any where near this dominating coming off a 5 win year with an young QB and an inexperienced new head coach. Hindsight is 20/20.
This practice is common in all professional sports. The PT/AT just isn't allowed to do the injections legally. However, in baseball especially sometimes the physician can't always get there before games and liberties are taken.
If Hahn cares about the effect of the Tatis trade should be fired immediately. Some trades will backfire. He needs to move forward and not worry about the past.
Not a fan of this one. It's getting away from actual hitting results and adding in the subjective "expected" hitting results. I can't seem to find the formula used. Anyone find it?
The too muscle bound really doesn't apply. As long as you maintain the flexibility and strengthen the appropriate muscle groups it's fine.
The throwing too hard too often is an unfortunate situation in baseball today.
I don't think it's that much of a stretch. If Rodon stays healthy and Lopez and Giolito build on last year and become a little more consistent, that's a good start of a rotation. I'm not saying it will but it's not laughable.
This is really more correct. The athletic trainers are involved but the strength and conditioning is as well for the number of players that get injured. For the athletic trainers in isolation, it would be how long they were on the DL.
