no, i don't. i think if he were actually committed he wouldn't have been hurt for the last FIVE YEARS.

 

That is a really stupid thing to say. I mean incredibly ignorant. Pitchers can't commit themselves to not get hurt, or get back from injuries.

hahaha, no it's not. you're essentially saying that effort in recovering from an injury means nothing. THAT's the stupid thing to say. you don't really believe that, now do you?

 

umm. he's not the one that said it had nothing to do with it. YOU are the one that implied it was the ONLY thing that mattered, which is just dumb. we all understood what you meant and now you're trying to spin your way out of it because of how ridiculous it was.

if that's what you inferred then you need to read slower.

 

stop acting like we're misunderstanding you. we're not. you very clearly stated that if he had been committed he wouldn't have been injured for 5 years.

right there, you obviously imply that the injuries wouldn't have been a factor if had commitment to getting better. don't even try to spin that. the quote is right there

take a step back. i'm not trying to spin anything. just having a conversation. maybe you're trying to win an argument. if so, okay. kinda strange, but okay. i'm just discussing baseball, the game i love.

 

It's hard to maintain a conversation when you just keep repeating ignorant statements.

i'm not opposed to you leaving the discussion if you're having a tough time keeping up.

not ignoring that at all. so why, then, does he have so many injuries? just because? or is there perhaps a more logical reason? what are your thoughts, i'm curious.

 

Yeah, the logical reason was Dusty Baker freaking abused the crap out of him, the Cubs misdiagnosed him and let him pitch through injuries, make them worse, and creating new ones.

agreed! what i'm saying is that his effort/workout regimen/whatever was a contributor to that as well. denying that just blows my mind.

For him to have been even close to being healthy, whether it was last week or 5 years ago, the medical staff would've had to have gotten it right the 1st time. They didn't and even last year when Prior had his shoulder operated on again, the article had mentioned that there was tear that had not been seen before and was missed.

And your proof of this is?

Keeping up with what? Your knuckle dragging idiocy? You have said the same dumb thing over and over, that the reason prior hasn't returned from injury for 5 years is because he hasn't tried to return from injury for 5 years.

this isn't a court of law. i'm not out to prove anything. again, just having a discussion.

 

clearly there is no proof. it's MY OPINION.

do you have any basis for that argument whatsoever? what has made you question his effort? please inform us, and don't just say "he always seemed like a prima donna to me"

So your opinion is that you have identified a personality flaw in a person you've never met, and that's supposed to be okay?

 

It's my opinion that Mark Prior's arm was sabotaged by gremlins.

we don't even need proof. we just need you to back up your claims with some kind of logic. you've provided no reason whatsoever as to why you think he didn't work hard enough. none.

 

until you can let us know why you think that, i'm just going to assume that you don't like him and you're looking for ways to trash him.

Yes, really. You say something stupid, and then insult the people who call you on your stupidity, then act like your baseless reasoning in the only logical explanation, and really, it doesn't say much for your mental accuity.

so then tell us why you think he wasn't/isn't commited to getting healthy. you still haven't answered that

That'd at least make sense. I'm trying to figure out how you figured out that he wasn't committed without monitoring his work effort.

just strikes me as a lazy guy. laid back, california kid who got things handed to him from a teenager on (because of his bad-assery at pitching) and got too wrapped up in the "life is good" mentality. again, i don't doubt his DESIRE to pitch. i just don't think he's a "give it your all" type of guy.

 

to everyone... disagree with me, fine. to suggest that my theory is 100% impossible is just, well, flat out stupid and insanely closed minded.

And you think it's okay to make up a complete personality workup of the guy and accuse him of negative personality traits based on nothing but a one-sentence sketch of his personality?
