8/12 GDT: Strider, The Bruján, and The Drake vs. The La Guardia Flight Path

The biggest issue is that I think you guys are being totally serious. He will be fine. This shit just happens after major surgery. Hell, he had these type of blow up games pre-surgery so this shouldn't be shocking in the slightest.

You're acting like this isn't his 2nd elbow jersey and the latest repair was an experimental procedure. There's no guarantee he will ever be back. I thought after TJ, stuff was there from the start... control lagged.

He has to learn how to pitch. Might be wrong but his ability to overpower may be gone for good.

His ERA was around 3.70 two starts ago and he was in the middle of a nice stretch. He's coming off major surgery. It happens. There will be ups and downs. He looks healthy and his stuff has been fine.

His stuff hasn't been fine. His fastball isn't the same... the rise is gone

I never said he'd be the exact same guy. But he's been really solid 90% of the season. His command is clearly the issue. I just don't get why everyone is so shocked. This happens to guys in his situation
 
I'm sure I'm overreacting about Strider. I just really hate we didn't use the known repair vs the experimental one on a guy we have so much invested in

Usually yes, guys usually come back from elbow surgery throwing at least as hard they did before the surgery. Usually guys take a while to build back endurance and feel for breaking stuff, but the velocity is there.

Now the apologists will jump in with some excuses about the brace procedure being different, or the recovery time not being as long as someone else (probably will mention Ohtani), or some other nitpicky argument about why strider’s situation is somehow different.

But the fact remains guys usually have their velocity immediately when they come back from elbow reconstruction. If the brace changes that…what good is that procedure, and why did they let strider get it?

So now Strider either learns to pitch with a lesser heater, or somehow gets the velocity back. We’ve seen a strong history in previous seasons of him not being very effective without 99+ in the tank, so hopefully he can figure something out.

The team doesn't get to make medical decisions for players.

That seems wrong. Could strider have chosen to not get it repaired at all?

ETA... "wrong" as I think it's wrong that the team doesn't have major input on these decisions. Not I think you're wrong
