(APRIL 10th)

Hunter Harvey said that he still felt a little bit of discomfort in his groin.

I hate when that happens.

I don't know. When I was this kid's age, I never strained a groin nor did I never play any ball with anyone who ever strained a groin. Maybe we exercised our groins more back then...unknowingly... And look at Cal, he never strained his groin. He must have been working it out a lot.

It's an odd injury for a young guy to get. I never had a lower body injury my entire life and pulled both my groin and hamstring within about two years in my early-30's. I have found that stretching is important now, but growing up and in my 20's these kinds of injuries were never an issue for me or anyone I was playing ball with, wrestling, etc. I am also convinced these arm injuries are a result of kids throwing year round growing up rather than playing baseball and other sports seasonally.

Our players need to be exercising their groins more.

Like this guy?

Death. Taxes. Injured Oriole pitching prospects. Trade him to the Cubs so he can flourish.

Maybe we can get Tommy La Stella for him. :thumbsup1:

I guess it's good it's not his arm. But he can't get experience injured. Another young started I'm not counting on.

He probably gets to use his groin a lot more than you did at that age.

Boom roasted.

I've got the opposite perspective. I just stopped playing last year at 35....played an average of probably 50 games a season with a couple seasons in my early 20's over 100 games (playing in 3 summer leagues and a fall league). Groin pulls and hammy pulls were pretty common, especially early in the season. I literally "popped" my hammy once....never knew it could make a sound, but it sounded like popping a ziploc bag that's full of air.

I'd say groins/hammy pulls were almost MORE common with younger guys because they were less prone to properly stretching.....myself included.

Harvey lives!

Thanks for this info.

As others have pointed out, at least it wasn't his throwing arm that was injured.

And as other have also pointed out, his innings this season were to be limited anyway, so it's just a matter of when he'll wrap his season up before he gets shut down.

[Ripken]

Wait, DJ Stewart is our 6th best prospect?

[sportsfan8703]

Getting Harvey through the season healthy would be huge. Things look pretty bleak with SP prospects on the farm.

I'd have to rate them as

Gunkel

Hess

Miranda

Brian Gonzalez

Jason Garcia???

It's not very fun to look at the pitching in the box scores.

Don't forget about Christopher lee. I have high hopes for him. Lefty's that can touch upper 90's don't grow on trees.
