1. Max Scherzer ?

2. Chris Sale?

3. Masahiro Tanaka?

Unfortunately I think we already found out last year.

 

[yankeesince59]

...the "experts" say that the mechanics of both Scherzer and Sale are ticking time bombs.

...and Tanaka is younger and only had a 10% tear.

I've often noted Max's over pro-nation of his shoulder, elbow, and wrist, are going to lead him to doom, here soon.

However, Sale goes quit a ways beyond Max, when it comes to over-pronations, of all 3 joints.

I went out of my way to look up as many pictures of both, at all stages of their delivery. The mechanics of both, tell me indeed their both ticking time bombs. I also know their Pitching coaches, have pointed as much out to both men. Both Pitchers, have made adjustments, to compensate. Regardless, along the way, over twisting and comforting the arms, especially the Elbow usually 1st, then Shoulder 2nd.

In the case of Others, including Myself, the Shoulders have gone out 1st, prior to the elbows. Yet seems to me, in MLB the elbows always seem to go out alot sooner?

...not to mention the dreaded "inverted w".

There ya' go, You nailed it 59. (As always, of course, "I must say, " -[Ed Grimsley, aka Martin Short SNL]

I got a busy day(s), week, month ahead. I got to go make copies of documents, am in the process of Moving back into town, change from DTV and Hughes Net, to TWB-C (at least I can see ALL the Bums games, tho' they suck to often, yet God Bless Donnie BB). Got not 1 but 2 lawsuits, I'm getting ready for, to foolishly represent myself, in Civil Court, should be a slam dunk case(s), also. Shit, you name it, I gotta' do it. NTM-a dozen more areas of running here and there.

I cannot wait, to get moved in, get court over, or push some pompous arrogant Multi-Millionaire Assholes I'm going after, to agree to negotiate out of court.....

With my deceased Brother gone for some time now, I still have a few connections with the Local LA County Sheriff Deputies, to find out the skinny on how serving those Assholes went, (by a Black and White Radio/Squad Car). The Deputy (an old friend of my brother), called me and recited word for word, how the asswipes convo went down. With the Asses I am suing for Personal Injury, and Retaliation, (and a dozen other things),

The Deputy told me, he had to tell the beyotch primary defendant, 3 times, if she did not stop her ranting cussing, belittling the Deputy Himself, offered her a Back Seat Ride to Jail. 3 Times the last with his handcuffs out.....LMFAO....self made Millionaires, so often make their money fkng over others, this time it shall not work.

Time for Chin Music...

Sorry about the OT rambling, just want ya' all to know, I will be in and out.

Damn it, the entire intent of spelling out my personal BS business, I meant to say only,

When I come back online tonight, I will also try to find some of those pics especially of Sale with that horrid W, at the point he's got the ball coming forward in every single position of delivery, less the last second release point. I saw one Pic with Sale, and His W position of his elbow, with this elbow to hand bent back like he's throwing an excessive karate block busting arm position..

I shall return, with Pictures too, and maybe bells and whistles, and damn it Tap Dancing Shoes, so get out those WHAM records. Jitterbug......LMAO....!

Different courses for different horses.
In the "old days" some pitchers with less than classic deliveries were described as having unorthodox or herkey jerky deliveries.

Matt Harvey and Steven Strasberg both came up with arm problems with less than two years MLB service under their belts.
I don't believe either one had any red flags attached to their deliveries.

Tanaka could just be a combination of overthrowing (trying too hard), more stressful innings along with a new pitching MLB regiment - working on one less day of rest.

Max and Sale may not ever have serious arm issues, or they both could blow up in any start this season.

We're never going to have all pitchers with pretty cookie cutter pitching motions so....basically what does it all mean?
The best, soundest response is don't give "long term" contracts to pitchers.

We could've/should've also posted film of position players running the bases and guess which one is more likely to pull a leg muscle or something. lol
And why do some players with great athletic bodies get injured more than average body types?

It's not all total bullsh!t....but it's close.

Well, there's a couple minutes of my life I'll never get back. lol

 

[blgridesagain]

p.s.

I wish the Yankees had a couple of leftys with the dreaded "inverted w".
One in the rotation, one in the bullpen.

And it is certainly "dreaded" by most LH batters.
