I've been pointing this out and I get lambasted every time I do. It has gotten ridiculous this past year.

You, Eminor and Shack are typically more enthusiastic...about supporting the team.

Yeah, the fact that he had issues before really starting ramping up his program wasnt a good sign.

One of the rare occasions I don’t blame the Sox. Players always think these things will magically go away with rest.

Damn. This puts him into missing time next year too.

Was Dunning one of they guys that KW was worried about having to pay in 5-6 years? Him and JR are probably breathing a little easier now.

This should of been done last year so much wasted time. All these so called great pitching prospects all needing TJ Surgery not good.

Good thing we got such a low payroll so we can withstand hits like these and fill holes over the next 5 years

I want off mr bones wild ride

I think he will probably pitch in 2020 if he has surgery soon. Probably July.

Something tells me the rest was ordered by the physician not the player.

Geez. Another one (probably) bites the dust, at least for a while. Ugh.

I got a feeling we're going to be big free agent players (for the non whales) starting this offseason. They better be better than Alonso, Jay, McCann types!!!

That was my purely amateur guess too.

We are about down to one two-part explanation. The young pitchers are taking vitamins so they can throw harder. Their arms cannot tolerate this process. This is called a differential diagnosis. 

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Because most of the time there's nothing preventative that can be done to avoid things like this. Throwing over hand is an un natural arm movement and doing it repeatedly at high speed releasing a weighted spheroid causes stress to shoulders and elbows. The plethora of injuries and TJ surgery's all across baseball should inform your common sense of this.

jimmy lambert, bernardo flores, spencer adams  etc. don't throw as hard but are still ambulatory.

A pitcher getting Tommy John is strange? You what? 

Haven't seen this posted anywhere, but AJ Puckett had TJ surgery recently.

Did Nardi Contreras come back or something?

Well I am thinking more and more that signing older injury free pitchers is the way to go.

Really?  Dude missed all of last year with a different injury correct?  Or at least it wasn’t severe enough to need surgery right?

So all three TJS are guys who came in from other organizations in Kopech, Dunning, and now Puckett.  It probably doesn't mean anything, but interesting to note.
