Spencer Strider

My biggest concern is keeping fried and sale healthy. I have zero concerns fielding a competitive rotation of 6 guys. If we lose another, it's certainly dicey

My biggest concern as well. Fried had health issues all last season and Sale is a walking DL stint waiting to happen.

Elder, Smith Shawver, etc. are going to get plenty of use this summer.

What's current recovery time for TJS?

Assuming he has TJ surgery very soon I think earliest we would see him is August next year. Probably more likely September. At that point they might try to bring him back as a reliever to finish the season or just wait until 2026 to give him that extra offseason time to recover. Second TJ surgery has a little longer recovery time. If this was his first we could have maybe had him back in June or by the All star break next year.

I fully expect Waldrep to pop on the scene in September and be our October surprise

The Braves are going to go a pitcher short in tonight's game. This seems to set up the possibility of scratching Elder from tonight's start and having him start here tomorrow. With limited optionable relievers, this may be the best move.

Acuna, Ozzie, Riley, Olson, etc... these are the concern for that more than pitching

Yeah, ours bats going cold are why we've lost. Other than Game 1 in 22, and Game 2 in 23, we didnt hit worth a **** vs them. Lopez, Sale, Fried, Morton with our pen is a more than good enough top 4. Now keeping the latter 3 healthy is a much much harder question.

Sale's healthiest year in several years was last year. Zack Wheeler went through a couple injury seasons where he barely pitched and has come back from it. We just need to not push Sale too hard. If we can get 5-6 innings in 90 pitches or less we need to take that and bring in the pen and not push our luck.
 
So…it was obvious something was wrong when he was at 94 early in the game. Several of us commented exactly that during the game while it was happening. Why was he allowed to continue?

Or is this another instance where homers will say posters on a forum didn’t know more than the actual baseball professionals?

I dont see why they wouldnt just put Strider on the DL. Theres a zero percent chance he pitches in the next 15 days or however long the DL is now.

Are there levels of this injury? Just curious if it woulda even helped strider to pull him once there was already an injury

94 isnt too far off from his norm. If he was throwing 90 then I would agree. Its very doubtful taking him out earlier would have prevented anything. The damage was most likely done already. The UCL doesnt go from okay to broken in a few pitches. Its a wear and tear kind of thing. It was probably hanging by a thread in ST.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Something was very clearly wrong. Several of us stated as much in the game thread as it was happening.

So yeah, whether it got worse over time, or popped all the way on one pitch doesn’t matter. Something was very clearly wrong and the people in charge did not notice because they were napping in the dugout as usual.

But I’m sure the apologists will be in here soon telling us that there’s no way posters on a forkk in m are smarter than then actual baseball people…except that we are. Snit is a buffoon, plain and simple.

94 at a low pitch count is far from his norm.

I realize the apologists are going to defend the buffoon coaching staff, so these arguments are not surprising.
 
I'm not sure who is defending snit. I do question if pulling strider earlier would make any difference though once it was done. Snit is probably the most hated brave on this site, so not sure why you think there's a buncha apologists for him here

They really won't be a pitcher short since Strider wouldn't be available even if healthy.

I would expect nothing less than a brain fart like this from O'Brien.

The thing now is to not to overreact. Braves are a playoff team and probably division winners unless a lot of wheels fall off (which is possible, but unlikely). There's a decent set of back-of-the-rotation options in Gwinnett. Let Smith-Shawver develop and don't rush Waldrep. Long season and if those guys are needed, they'll be there.
 
You think Strider wanted to pitch through an elbow problem? If something was clearly bothering him, he would have said something and took himself out of the game. Sounds like this was gonna happen eventually anyway.
 
Is this injury a cumulative injury? Would it have happened for sure in Chicago Wednesday if no rain out?
