Fuck
Nooooooo 🙁
Fade me
Out for next season as well then
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.
Unpopular Opinion: pitch counts are a scam.
Is Dr Nick from the Simpsons in charge of medical for the Reds?
Example number 3,047 that you can NEVER have too much starting pitching.
Sometimes it’s as bad as it looks
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+!!
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.
Jeez man. It nevers stops with this team
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.

The fucking Yeti actually did chase someone down and eat them last night.
jesus fucking christ what a team
we have the best medical staff folks, elite

That’s a huge bummer. Hopefully he can get back at some point and realize his potential
To many pitchers on I.L. Same thing every season. Mis managed by Bell and D.J.
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 At the risk of sounding like a boomer, I think a whole lot of it is because the art of pitching has largely been replaced by throwing.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.
What a horrible season this has been
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.
