I’ll start, but you might be sorry you asked, lol.
Not new, but a continuing saga.
Son wondered if when he got healthy he would be released, but so far so good. It took 21 months between appearances in a regular season game. He lost the whole 2007 season recovering from labrum surgery. His velocity still hasn’t come all the way back but according to some who have had the same surgery it could be another six to eight months to get it back, if at all. With 18 pitchers (13 relievers) on the team, IMO he doesn’t get the necessary reps to stay sharp even thought he’s thrown as much as any of them. It’s hard to throw bullpens on off days as relievers never know when their turn will come up. The coaches simply tell them before the game if they are available or not.
He’s had good and not so good outings, but his last one was his best so far. Three innings, 1 hit (double), 0 walks, 1 unearned run (2 errors on a pickoff attempt) and 7 strikeouts (all swinging). Second inning he had 4 K’s and still wasn’t out of the inning!!
Okay, who’s next?
