I heard he had both hands amputated but they built a special glove for him and he can sort of sling it in there now.

 

As long as he can sling it, I'm cool with it.

I am hoping this is something he could’ve potentially just skipped one start or worked thru. But since we will need to limit his innings anyway and he is so young let’s just set him down for little while and work on some things away from the spotlight.

I feel like Jobe would be “shut down” at some point this year anyway.  So even though I don’t want to hear about an elbow injury with him, it’s also not necessarily an awful thing that he’s gonna get a rest for a month or so.  The innings jump year to year was going to be a lot for him if he stayed pitching every 5th day all year.

In case you’re one of those “well back in the day“ sort of persons there’s Nolan Ryan, who no one could ever accuse of not throwing hard. I don’t know if he threw every single pitch hard as he could, but anyway…

“Nolan Ryan's pitch count in a game varied, but he was known for throwing a high number of pitches, especially in longer games. He famously threw 235 pitches in a 13-inning game against the Boston Red Sox on June 14, 1974, which is a record number of pitches in a single game. In 1989, at age 42, he averaged 127 pitches per game with a high of 164.”

From what I remember, Ryan didn't throw a slider either - at least not early (the AL part)  in his career. He started out as mostly fastball/curve, and when he couldn't control the curve (which was most of the time), he walked a lot of guys (career OBP against >300). When he could land the curve, it was a no-hitter waiting to happen. Ryan was 33 and back to the NL before the first time he had a walk rate less than 4/9IP.

All along, we were worried this would happen to Jobe. Oh well. 

So typically, they shut a guy down and hope, then after 4-6 weeks he starts a rehab, then 2 wks later as the rehab is winding up they announce he's having TJ.  ..........🫤

Well, thank you very much Sally Sullen… 😉

Yep this smells like TJ for sure.
