Infielddad- I have been looking on Google since I learned Thursday, the day before tryouts, for any information possible. You're right that the doctors don't really know why it happens, all I had been told was the repetitive motion and the violent nature of throwing caused this. I am not sure which route will be taken as I have to go to a shoulder specialist before knowing the full extent of the damage. I know you said not to dignify TR with a response, but I could not help myself.
TRhit- It's bad enough that I worked all off season in hopes of being at peak performance, and being told I was posed for a breakout year only to learn that I CAN'T PLAY FOR AT LEAST 5 MONTHS! Yes, I was cut from SHP last spring (then the #1 team in the country), you know that from prior posts. I transferred to another school where I became the ace of the JV team and proceeded to lead my team in most, if not all, pitching statistical categories. In the summer I carried my team through the Junior Legion County Tournament and was recognized with the tournament's MVP award. So last year I was FAR from inactive.
I do not appreciate your condescending attitude towards my intelligence much more then towards my injury. Why is it when I post you seem to feel the need to try and belittle the intelligence, playing ability, and comprehension of the situations of a high school player looking for help and insight on the game, and more the process of getting to the next level of the game?
