Did the Sox say anything about Jones for example after he got hurt? I don't think they said a word until Rick announced he had surgery and was done for the year. Same with Rodon if I remember right two years ago with that mysterious shoulder soreness in spring training. They went weeks without saying a word. Sox basically just seem a little paranoid about medical issues going back to Kenny's press conference after "shouldergate" where he defended the Sox medical staff when some of the injured pitchers were saying they were misdiagnosed as well as Toronto's charges that he was hiding Sirotka's injury. (I don't think he was and neither did the commissioner as it turned out)

Post the link to his stuff. I'd love to see it. I've never seen anyone who can figure out pitching like that.

Chrisoleary.com Very few of the pitchers he's tagged have stayed healthy. He took down all of his free stuff from his old site. He had Strasburg tagged before he was even drafted. He had Kopech tagged when the Sox traded for him. If you go down his Twitter feed you'll see how many guys he got right. It's insane. Edited May 17, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

Mechanics and training wise he does have good points. however, you can tell by just reading that the guy is a complete wackadoodle as a person and i can see why people don't take him seriously. Which is unfortunate because he does have good ideas even though he didn't come about them from a particularly scientific way. I would love to sit down and have a few cold ones wih him and discuss pitching. It would be an entertaining time.
May 17, 20196 yr So Manny gets shelled and its because he's tipping pitches. Then he's getting shelled again and claims shoulder soreness. His MRI comes back clean....hmmm... I think we have an excuse maker on our hands ladies and gentlemen.

May 17, 20196 yr Not surprised he's on the IL, it also wouldn't surprise me if he goes under the knife.

"No No No, I am absolutely sure that Cashner's option vests with 550IP this year, and Alonso's vests with 187 games played. We should be fine!"
