Thoracic outlet, yes. Shoulder in general? Disagree, as that could be a lot of things, including fatigue. 

Every elbow issue doesn't mean TJ.

I prefer the range of outcomes that come from Elbow over Shoulder.

I think in the current game shoulders are more likely to be career enders.

But I might be wrong, I haven't researched it.

It feels statistically impossible to have this many high impactpitchers go down within a few months. Geez man. 

It's baseball. Every pitcher is one pitch away from 18 months on the IL.

Look at the vote-getters in the 2022 AL Cy Young:

Verlander: just 57 innings this year
Cease: 11-8, 119 ERA+ in 136 innings
Manoah: 24 innings in '24, after totally melting down in '23
Ohtani: Limited to DHing after injury
F. Valdez: 116 innings to a 3.56
McClanahan: On 60-day IL, hasn't pitched in '24
Bieber: 12 innings this year
Cortes: 5-9, 4.16 in 129 innings
Cole: 40 innings of a 5.09
Gausman: 9-8, 4.56

0% (0 out of 10) are legit candidates for the '24 Cy Young, unless Cease or Valdez has an epic stretch run.

If you want a system to pick out which pitchers aren't going to be good/healthy in a year or two, just make a list of the top pitchers and you'll do pretty well.

I do think it's kinda funny sad how folks are reading lips and thinking back to HS instead of simply waiting for an official report.

The radio broadcast said he looked sick.

I didn't say it was surprising.

he looked like he was about to puke.  I'm going with stomach bug and he shit his pants as soon as the video cut off.  Heard it here first.

Maybe he’ll pull a Lamar and be back in the 6th inning after he has the Browns

Also my amateur medical opinion. Lots of bugs going around right now.

Yeah but they don’t all play for one team. Grayson down would be 4/5 of our rotation out for the year within 2-3 months.

That is still one of the funniest moments ever.

Still the only chance the Browns have at the Super Bowl
