2014 MLB Season Thread: Throw another shrimp on the barbie!

[Boyiee]

Darvish with a perfect game through 6

You probably just ruined it! But either way thanks, tuning in asap.

[Cail]

And its gone on an error. No hitter still intact

[elison]

Rios totally at fault on that error. What a fucking joke

[Melena]

And the no hitter is gone.

[Cail]

2nd time he's lost it with 1 out to go

[Melena]

Damnit, belt broke his thumb getting hit by a pitch.

[Bregor]

Pablo likes swinging

[Moss]

old but yeah, hit and run and his late swing still interrupted the catcher enough to make a bad throw

[Headspace]

Jose Fernandez donezo

[Bregor]

Jose Fernandez donezo

WHERE WAS DUSTY BAKER?

[Moss]

haven't seen anything conclusive yet but they are fearing he will need TJ

[Bregor]

Young pitcher with an "elbow strain", I would put TJ at +1000

[Moss]

there is a glimmer of hope for my fantasy pitching staff :X

[Bregor]

Well, the Cubs are done scoring runs for the week.

[Xajii]

The rise of the TJ is ridiculous. So many young guys pitching hard and all year round while their body is still developing and it's coming back to haunt them so early in their careers. :/

[Melena]

I honestly think youth leagues are just as much of a cause. Hell my manager has two kids, they do both official little league then a fall league. Both of them are catchers, and also getting 1 on 1 training with a private instructor who was a former MLB catcher. Kids are getting less and less of an offseason to rest their arms.

if you look at it a lot of the guys getting it have been involved in 3-season ball for a long long time. the problem is that they start hard and early. arm ain't done even growing

[Mad Dog Ben Richards]

that's exactly what it is mel. they pitch year round. Arizona fall league, winter ball, spring training, regular season back to the Arizona fall league..... used to be that when baseball ended for kids, they went and played football or basketball or some other winter sport that let their elbow rest.

[Headspace]

Human elbow wasn't designed to throw a ball with that kind of force and at those angles.

[Melena]

I remember in little league the one year I pitched, coaches kept saying, only throw fastballs. Your arm is developing, none of that breaking ball shit. Do they still preach that for the younger kids?
