Jerry might want to start considering a new pitching approach-like trying to rely on more than 5-6 arms every season. Something he's done since his first stint with Ray.

Whether or not anyone else uses it, wait till the guys on 107.5 get ahold of it (excuse material gold!)My thoughts exactly. Tanner will be reminding the fans of it too-regularly.
I'm not blaming Meyers for Schmidt injury. Only reason he wasn't given 130 pitch count is because Crowe went down with Tommy John's and he cut back on starter's pitch counts.He wasn't over used, he pitched 1 day a week. Highest pitch count about 110 or so. Just an injury that happens, bad luck for Clark, hope he recovers and has a great mlb career. Really hurts us going further though.
Where did I say that? I said Meyers depends on too few pitchers on the staff.Every major league baseball team is desperately trying to figure out the reasons for pitchers tearing their UCL. It's a massive effort, and it's not yet successful. To blindly make a statement about overuse being the reason for the injury is just speculation, with no basis in fact.

Pitchers throw thousands of baseballs over a life time and just like golfers develop back problems pitches develop arm and shoulders problems. That's why they demand the big bucks because they never know when they will throw their last pitch. Worn out arms are the baseball pitchers concussion problem compared to football. The good news is TJS can overhaul his arm and get him back in the game over time. The bottom line is the human arm wasn't made to throw a baseball or anything else for 20 yrs. In the old days we just called it throwing your arm away.
Nekro extended his career with it.
You really need to learn what sarcasm is.

roosterbell and world famous 3rd base hecklers like this.
These people are the least informed posters in this forum. This had nothing to do with number of pitches. It could have happened on the FIRST pitch. Schmidt had thrown 84 pitches. Throwing overhand isn't natural for an arm. Injuries occur all the time. Had nothing to do with Jerry Meyers. Hope you're going to reprimand O'Sullivan, since Faedo threw 125 pitches in that game.

I wished I could have learned to pitch like Nekro, I blew out my arm and tried to make a comeback with tryouts with the Braves and Mets...
I was taught to throw a curve ball at a young age and messed up my elbow...
Phil Niekro...
Just a simple typo. Haven't typed or discussed his name is probably a decade. Thanks though.Phil Niekro...
I never mention grammar on any forum, but for some reason, misspelling someone's name...Gets to me!
