Matt Wieters Transferred to 60 Day DL

[Rene88]

Joy. Gotta wonder how this may affect Wieters' upcoming contract.

Perhaps Boras should shut his mouth and let MW sign a mutually beneficial contract. The dude has little value but at catcher so....

I like Joseph. Good kid. Gritty, smart and outgoing...oh yeah...just a tad bit cheAper.

[Rene88]

No Gausman going to 60 day because it takes 3 to 6 months to recover from it. The fact Gausman tried to pitch for 2 months with tendonitis leads me to believe he might have done more damage. You know the Orioles. Down play it as long as possible. Like they did with Bundy, Wieters, and JJ.

Yikes, my buddy said same thing! Hope this isn't true. We have some bad luck...coincidence?

[BradyBunch]

You keep acting like you know something when there isn't any evidence for it.

Ok I see your evidence and it is speculative at best. Lets wait for the doctor appt before we act like Gausman is done for the year.

Flat out recovery from tendonitis is 3 to 6 months. In first 3 to 6 weeks it heals but its not totally healed. Take another 6 to 8 weeks for it to be totally healed. If you rush you risk major arm damage as the tendons are weak. Rush and scalp surgery is your future or having tendonosis. Tendonosis never goes away.

Fair enough. I guess we will see what happens.

The tendonitis in my ankle took two weeks.

Of course I had Army doctors so I am sure that helped speed the process.

And it went away.

Yes cause you aren't doing a motion foreign to your body say like throwing a baseball. The human body isn't designed for the that over the top motion in the shoulder. Even fast pitch softball is bad for the shoulders.

The tendonitis in my thumb went away in a week. Of course I had some analgesics.

I do believe this. I believe ever shoulder of every pitcher will eventually deteriorate.

To me it is a long walk to "never goes away".

I also don't think you can throw a ball 100 miles per hour with a SLAP tear.

After having his career ended by arthritis in his left (pitching) elbow at only 30 years-old, Sandy Koufax was asked if he felt "robbed" of having a longer baseball career.

His reply was, "Not at all. The pitching motion is an unnatural motion for the arm, and so I feel fortunate to have pitched as long and as effectively as I did."

Type 1 tear you could. Its still attached at that point. But at 100 you could tear it and get that pain that gets you to say something. You " feel" good couple of days later after swelling goes down a bit. But you sure didn't throw on those off days.

I get the feeling you are probably right.

[Can_of_corn]

I am not saying he's wrong. He is just very declarative about it.

If he had couched his statements as being speculative it would have gone over a lot better.

I know you can't.
