[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1099308, member: 7261"] Only time will tell I guess. They have already put him on the 15 day disabled list and there is talk of another surgery, which would probably mean he is lost for the remainder of the season. Lefty Brian Fitzpatrick just underwent Tommy John surgery and won't be able to start pitching again until months into next season. While the Brewers have really had some bad luck when it comes to injuries to their Pitchers, it seems to by a systematic problem in baseball right now. Why? Pitchers are throwing at higher velocities, as well as trying to put more spin on the ball. This appears to put too much strain on their shoulders and arms. Below are some of the issues: [LIST] [*][B]Maximum-Effort Pitching:[/B] Pitchers prioritize throwing as hard as possible and maximizing spin rate over pitching for contact. This extreme effort puts immense strain on arms. [*][B]"Stuff" and Sweepers:[/B] Pitchers chase high-movement breaking balls, like the "sweeper," which exerts high levels of stress on the elbow. [*][B]Year-Round Play:[/B] Youth and high school players participate in intense, year-round travel baseball rather than resting. Pitchers reach the professional level already carrying extensive wear and tear. [*][B]Workload Management:[/B] Modern protective pitch limits might accidentally reduce a pitcher's arm conditioning, increasing injury risk when they are asked to throw max effort in shorter bursts. [/LIST] Holding my breath on Miz and his body. I just don't think he can realistically keep throwing the ball as hard as he does before something gives. Keep an eye on a Brewer trade for a starting pitcher before 7/31. I wouldn't mind seeing them do that, but I hope the amount of assets they have to give up isn't too much. Seems the only starting level pitchers available at the trade deadline are partial season rentals. Guys currently on losing teams that are due to become free agents in 2027. Their current team has no plan on resigning them and hoping to eek out some capital for the short term rental. Unfortunately, these are the guys that the big money teams grab. For they don't few them as just short term rentals, they view them as the pitcher to put their team over the competitive hump for a World Series run AND someone they will resign for big money.
