Yes, Pineda could give us a lot of innings. My concern is if they call up more young pitchers, we'll need to limit their innings like we did for the youngsters last season. And God forbid any more SP injuries....it's only April. Like I heard Sparky say one time, you can't win a division but you can lose it.
So, Mize, Manning, Chafin, Funkhouser, Cisnero, Turnbull and Boyd all hurt in the last year. Am I missing any? Tigers pitchers are snakebit. That's almost a whole ML pitching staff.
Yeah, I guess I'm not blaming Hinch or the Tiger organization. Just bad luck? Those 4 pitchers make up an entire pitching staff. If Mize and Manning need TJ surgery (I'm NOT saying they will) they'll be out until 2024. Just a horrible possibility.
I mostly agree but are all the injuries to pitchers caused by limiting them early in their careers? The Tigers were careful with Mize and Manning last season and they're still injured. How did that work out for them? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Those conditions were brutal. Final score 4-2? It looked like it was going to be a 9-7 game, more. Personally, I'm not making any judgements on any players under those conditions. The home plate umpire? That's a different story. Anything that didn't bounce to the plate was a strike for any Yankee pitcher. Tiger pitchers? If the Yankess didn't swing, it was a ball. And yes, I exaggerate.
Hopefully, neither are hurt. It just seems like everytime a pitcher comes our of a game with a bad arm, it leads TJ surgery. The worst part is when teams wait 2 or 3 months. I would think Manning will be OK, but we'll see.
