Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

Well he apparently told the trainer as much after the fourth inning. Clearly, though, this message board has a much bigger financial and professional stake in what happens with the team so the buffoon coaching staff can afford to take a nap on the bench and spit sunflower seeds. Never in the history of baseball has someone sat a few miles per hour below on a cold night on the second start of the season.
Band aide fix worries me. Is it really worth not just fixing the problem and being out a few more months over bracing it and risking it tearing at the brace.

The apologists are out in full force, as expected.
Has anyone mentioned the terrible board name as it correlates to this injury.

Well hopefully this changes the Braves' calculus on Max and they'll make an offer he will look at without dismissing it off hand.
Let's not start this back and forth crap again, please

Help me out here. If Snit had been on the ball instead of napping (your term), he would have....been alert to the fact that Strider was throwing 94. But if he was throwing 94, wouldn't that mean he was already injured? I mean, the reason he'd be throwing 3 mph slower would be that he suffered an injury. So it would've already happened. Snit wouldn't have been responsible for the injury.
A 5'11" pitcher is extending seven feet and throwing a baseball 97-100 miles per hour repeatedly, violently, with ever-increasing spin rates, over 3,000 times a year not counting bullpens, spring training, long toss from foul line to foul line....seems to me the injury is very likely the result of repetitive stress and an unsustainable model of what modern pitchers are being required to do than an inattentive manager.
I have no particular love for Snitker, but I think you've got to go a long way around to blame a UCL tear in a clearly at-risk pitcher on manager inattentiveness.
