      Like most things repetitive strain is not good. Not to mention you're quite literally throwing your shoulder out because where else is that force going to go? Most people tunnel into "unga bunga fast good" when really if you can make a 85 and 95 look the same on top of having say a fastball and curve that look similar enough then you've got a 4-way mixup which is more than enough. Honestly it's a major negative with stats, pitch speed is a number therefore better number equal better pitch but it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture

    • @azzgunther
      @azzgunther Před 3 měsíci +2

      Yeah. Watch a pitcher in ultra slow motion and see all the joints bending in wild, weird ways. Then ask them to do that as hard as they can a bunch of times in a row. They are taking a violent motion and incentivizing ultra violence and, worst of all, putting responsibility for the consequences on something else.

    • @TheIcecreamtaco

    The Dominic Fletcher home run actually hits the wall before it hits his glove if you watch closely, therefore should be ruled a ground rule double or triple depending on the umpire’s judgment.

    • @justinoneil1604
      @justinoneil1604 Před 3 měsíci +2

      Came here to say the same thing. Should have been a ground rule double.

    • @apfeiffer7606
      @apfeiffer7606 Před 3 měsíci +3

      No way. I’m not going to look it up but if someone else wants to please share. I just think if it doesn’t hit the ground and the fielder never had possession and found it’s way over the wall it’s a home run. I guess bc the wall is the same as the ground in regards to it being a catch but I played center and I just think it should be a home run. What does the rule book say?

    • @ws00912
      @ws00912 Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@apfeiffer7606 nah, i think the fletcher one should have been ruled as a ground rule double, based on my understanding of the rules. It hit the wall, then the glove and went over. The south fla guy though, that's a homer. Had the fletcher one not hit the wall I'd say it's a homer, but that ball was in play, and then out of play bc of the glove.
      Edit: my reasoning is the same as if it hit the top of the wall, then the foul pole and bounced over the outfield fence. that's not a homer either.

    • @esyiam
      @esyiam Před 3 měsíci +1

      Think of it this way, if it hits the wall and the OF catches it, what is it?
      Like others have said, the ball hit some thing in the field (anything) meaning the ball was live/in-play. Something happened to the ball to cause it to be an unfieldable ball, which now rules it a ground rule double.

    • @cnking27

  • @8bitdee
    @8bitdee Před 3 měsíci +1

    The solution is expand the roster. Allow more pitchers on teams, have a bigger rotation of just 5 players so pitchers have more than 5 days to recover their arms if you’re gonna ask them to throw heaters all the time because velo is all you care about.

    • @1uckedout
      @1uckedout Před 3 měsíci

      Isn't that the opposite of the solution? Give them less innings to pitch and they'll put the entirety of their strength into each and every ball they throw. If the killer is repeated maximum intensity, allowing less pitchers on teams would force them to hold back because they can't rely on a long period of recovery, they need to be ready to pitch sooner. Not saying that's the best way to force pitchers to lower their effort but it's one.

    Arm angle. Simple. You’re trying to rev up to nine RPMs for 100 pitches and you’re dropping your elbow down and getting into that inverted W position to catch a few extra miles an hour but you’re putting exponential more stress on your elbow. 93 is a dime dozen if you ain’t 98 ain’t shit. Javelin throwers do it once or twice not 150 times multiple times a month.

  • @JoeMagician
    @JoeMagician Před 3 měsíci +4

    At a certain point, the teams are gonna have to change what they're doing because they're gonna push their pitching staffs into the dirt if they keep using them in a way that burns them out. Not that you should trust the teams as they have created these circumstances, but at least you can trust the incentives that they need their star pitchers especially in clutch moments and will screw themselves over if they keep playing minor league injury call ups against major league hitters. Self-preservation will kick in as pitching is a scarce resource, not an endlessly renewable one.

  • @squallrulz20
    @squallrulz20 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Its not pitch clock and its not all year with no rest. Its consistent rule changes and inspection changes that lead to changes in kinematics and a ball that is to big for most people to grip 100% optimally without assistance.
    If it was a rest issue it would be far more prevelant in JPBL and other non american leagues.
    Outside of ball and grip size, its correlated to but not directly caused by higher velocity and greater spin rates.

    I saw something one time that brought up the question about why do pitchers get significantly more arm injuries than tennis players. If I remember right they thought that letting go of the ball causes more torque or something. They thought maybe holding on to the tennis racket actually helped build up strength and was way less stress on the arm. Idk but I thought it was an interesting theory at least

      They all had grippy substances on the ball. They need to adopt pitching styles compatible with low ball friction. Now that we are seeing how resistant players and teams are to have pitchers change their styles, we can now understand why the league made the ban in the middle of a season. No one was going to prepare anyways. It has been a few years and few are preparing. They are blowing out their arms instead of making adjustments.

    Look back at Kerry Wood and Mark Prior. Throwing too much too hard before we all knew how important pitch count would become. I was bitter with Dusty Baker for so long about that (but keep telling myself I can't apply what we know now to what happened then).
    But no one was throwing that hard that often. And pitch counts we're too high. And we see what that did to their careers...

    Can anyone explain why teams haven't gone to a 6-man rotation? Is it because of the roster limit? It seems like it would make sense especially when the MLB schedules 20 games in 21 days to start the season like they did with the Astros. Yesterday they had to put Framber Valdez on the 15-day IL due to throwing elbow inflammation

    Pitchers used to *not* throw really hard?

    • @1uckedout
      @1uckedout Před 3 měsíci

      Yes, pitchers used to throw with mechanics that worked for them and their bodies instead of changing their throwing motion to achieve the highest possible velo. They also were not constantly throwing at max effort like most pitchers do these days. They would keep energy in reserve because they were often going longer into games whereas pitchers today rarely make it past 7 innings or whatever pitch limit their coaches have set.

    pitch clock seems like bullshit they used to throw over 100 pitches per game every game. Now when they get close to 100 pitches in a gme they get pulled.

    But I thought all these psy pitch counts protected pitchers

    I wonder if there's some simple exercise that will help with pitchers between pitches with the clock. I almost want to think there's a possibly quick, perfectly executed stretch that would work.
    That being said, I also wonder if the mechanics have gotten so much better and precise, but somehow lagging behind the natural body growth and movement. The mechanics have really changed so much, but as we know, evolution isn't quite so fast.

    "he'll get injured, and then we're good" or rather, then they can collect that insurance bag. But that's prolly because I've been following the Mets for too long...

    "There's an inherent unfairness to this, an injustice because he can do whatever he wants because it's a county island, and I can't," Lang told KPHO. "I don't have a recourse because I am bound by all these rules in this HOA ... It's very disappointing and frustrating that all I can do is file a complaint and hope that somebody in the county feels like listening to me." Mrs Lang is upset because she lives in an HOA and can't do what JJ is doing? Great... MOVE. She isn't saying, here, that she's angry that he is putting in a baseball field. She's apparently angry that she cannot. Oof.

    It’s the pitch clock AND they throw really hard. Both are causing injuries

  • @samueldrazkowski2908
    @samueldrazkowski2908 Před 3 měsíci

    It's not the pitch clock, guys are throwing harder than ever and also a greater variety of pitches by pitchers is more to blame
