Minor scratched from start

[jsebe10]

So we should operate on a muscle that's not even injured? That makes sense.

Hell, why not send out entire rotation to get TJS? May be we'll get a group discount.

Would be a good use of a groupon

Yea that was freakn strange. Anything else ever come Of that? He missed 65 weeks with penis problems.

Pretty sure it's a problem he had to handle daily last year and during the offseason. I expect that to continue.

Look guys. I'm a posibrave till the end, but this has Tommy John written all over it. Maybe he'll get a clear bill of health here in the next few days, but in about a month or so the Tommy John will happen. It just is going to happen.

I think it's hilarious that they haven't even mentioned his elbow and he's out for 18 months for Tommy John.

Probably the labrum, something that never heals right. Or some new part. Minor has been much more creative with his injuries than most of our guys. Another plus drafting college pitchers that Keith Law refuses to acknowledge.

So, that's a penis joke, right?

I never joke about penis.

Might as well give everyone TJ surgery since we waved the white flag until 2017. Maybe we can get a group discount.

No. No. No. It doesn’t. Seriously. Tommy John does not in any way help shoulder, back, or penis problems. It helps the elbow. Minor doesn’t have elbow problems. Well, not yet anyway. he may go under the knife, although I can’t say it seems especially likely, but it won’t be Tommy John, at least not for the injury he has now.

That said, I have almost certainly just jinxed his elbow. My apology, Mike.

Elbow problems COULD be linked to penis problems. Torque and all. Just saying.

Per MLB league source:
No structural damage on Mike Minor. He'll get rest for a few weeks

Well thats comforting. Still don't like that he is feeling pain though. If the Braves could get a healthy Minor and Olivera into the mix then they could surprise some people.

I hope we can get enough out of Minor to trade him for a decent return.

I would certainly be surprised if the Braves could get a healthy Minor and Olivera into the mix.

This is about the best we could have hoped for. If he's good after two weeks (big if), it will probably take him around 6 more weeks to ramp up and be ready to start an MLB game. That amounts to early May availability.

@DOBrienAJC
#Braves Minor no structural damage in shoulder, just inflammation in rotator cuff. Got injection, will shut it down for 2 wks, then evaluate

@DOBrienAJC
#Braves Minor said he'll stop doing a lot of weightlifting, push-ups, back exercises that might have made him too tight and caused the issue

Stop doing weightlifting? The dude is a pencil out there.

Brings up two decade old questions: who has the proper knowledge and training regimen to keep these pitchers healthy and how do the Braves staff get a hold of it??

I'm also pretty sure the team did something similar several times last year to show solidarity with Minor.

 

[Oklahomahawk]

No. No. No. It doesn’t. Seriously. Tommy John does not in any way help ... penis problems.

You're not a very good salesman for this procedure!!!

 

[bravesnumberone]

No sense in rushing
