  1. Hope his shoulder injury he was dealing with all season wasn’t causing him to put extra strain on that elbow. I remember a couple people saying he had altered his delivery and wonder if there was a connection. 

  2. They need to stop the high velocity pitches and go back the the tried and true. The human boxy was nor designed to throw 100+!!

  3. At some point we have to look beyond bad luck and take a long look at the medical staff and the strength and conditioning

    If you look at the expected opening day roster, we’re missing 3 of the starting 8 and 4 out of the 5 parts of the starting rotation long term, plus other pieces. That’s beyond bad luck. A team that can’t afford or isn’t willing to spend money to acquire depth can’t also be letting players drop likes flies.

  4. Can we catch an injury break sometime? Jesus Christ. We’re gonna have to spend actual money on general team depth if we want any chance of competing in the league today. Hope his recovery goes well.

  5. Reds medical staff is clearly some of the worst in the business. Between McLain, the CES debacle, and now this, it’s one of the worst seasons I’ve seen. Cowboy on the radio last night could clearly see and called out that something was wrong with Williamson, yet no one on the staff noticed? That is unacceptable.

    On the other hand, starting pitcher injuries are way, way, way up all across baseball. At the risk of sounding like a boomer, I think a whole lot of it is because the art of pitching has largely been replaced by throwing. The fanatical pursuit of velocity and spin rate all across baseball has clearly contributed to the huge number of stress injuries.

  6. Players used to take the winter to rest their bodies. Spring training was for getting back in shape. Now they workout all off season so their bodies get no chance to heal.
