fathom Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Feb 28, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) just tightness in his shoulder. No pain. It's good that he didn't feel pain, but you have to be concerned whenever a pitcher (especially a power pitcher like Jenks) has shoulder tightness.

That sort of thing could be nothing (just not loose enough yet), or it could be an indication of a serious problem, or anything in between. I hope they know soon.

Baines3 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 At least he didn't have pain in his shoulder. Give him some rest he will probably be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 This doesn't sound too serious. I don't want to see him pitch again until that soreness is completely gone. There's about 3 or 4 players on this team that we simply can't lose for any stretch without struggling big-time. Jenks is one of those players.

Jim Spencer Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Bobby said he's fine. He said he was to blame for the tightness in his shoulder, because he didn't do enough stretching in the offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ya he said working out was one thing, but to not actually condition is another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I predict Bobby Jenks' right arm falls off sometime before the start of the 2009 season. I really don't think it can hold up for much longer, I hope I'm wrong but I really believe this to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I don't buy it. I'm worried. Don't worry, be happy. He'll be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pale_hose Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 So far its not that big of a deal. Jenks said that there is no pain, he just needs to stretch it out more. The tightness has been there since the start of spring training, he's just not loose yet. It's nothing to worry about, and he said he wont miss a game.

That's part of the reason the Angels let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the part of his body that should worry us the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Anytime a pitcher has to leave a game after 10 pitches because of an issue with a shoulder or an elbow you have to be concerned. If Jenks said he's had this problem since spring training started, can someone explain to me why the hell he took the mound today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jenks said he's had this problem since spring training started, can someone explain to me why the hell he took the mound today? I was thinking the same exact thing. It's frustrating that Garland said he felt tightness in his shoulder also, and couldn't get loose. If that's the case, then why are we putting these guys on the field right now?

Garland's shoulder was tight last year. Widger popped off about it, and nobody really picked up on it, and we know how awful Garland was the first couple months of the season. Hopefully all this tightness is nothing, but holes may seem to be appearing in the "playoffs=tired arms" excuse from last year. The Sox have been pretty lucky with injuries to their pitchers the last few years, eventually things tend to even out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 FWIW, Ozzie and the coaching staff was aware before the game that Jenks was having shoulder tightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Give Bobby 2 weeks off... do some stretching..have him throw a few innings see how he feels.. if he's comfortable, then we will be good to go. I'm hoping and praying for da best. W/O Jenks we are in big trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
