But does that mean people who don't agree with everything that is being said need to be told that they should read the room when they respond? Why can't some disagree with some aspects without being told their responses are wrong?
Not the items they are discussing are wrong that is debate. It's the fact that people are telling others they should think like everyone else.
That is standard protocol. Always try conservative treatment first. While we are getting good good at surgeries. They still aren't 100%. Plus there is always that very small chance if complications from the surgery itself.
Yes, in general they did pitch more in the minors and did find out who could tolerate the workload. There were also fewer teams so fewer pitchers were needed. Many pitchers today would not make teams just because of the numbers.
Not from the latest research. The latest shows higher velo or throwing at max velo for longer.
The change up is just the fastball motion with a different grip. The forkball needed to be really over the top and a "pull " down to get the rolling effect.
Sometimes they come back throwing with more velo after UCL reconstruction. If it happens maybe it will be the case here.
Haven't checked his velo at the MLB level. Was he trying to add velo in the MLB, I wonder.
