Smart move with the AS break coming. Won't even miss a start.

Ironically right after the quote about his robust health.

I've missed Lester's last few starts. Any theories as to what's going on? Results seem more than what we would expect from regression since the break, but I don't know if velocity is down, is he fighting their some discomfort, etc...

 

Should we be looking at shutting him down for a bit, even if it means Walkman gets a couple of starts? I want later healthy for the postseason more than I want Walkman to not start anymore...

He says he’s healthy and his velocity has looked good. His command has been garbage. Hopefully that’s just a mechanical issue and an easy fix. He doesn’t have the stuff to get away with throwing so many pitches over the heart of the plate.

Anyone else remember the 'Nelson will be back in the rotation in June' headlines before spring training? I still can't believe those were written, he tore his labrum in September.

Yeah it was crazy.

I don't know a lot about rehabbing injuries but wasn't Schwarber's comeback in the same season after shredding his knee crazy too? Not in the same category/analogous as a labrum for a pitcher?

It was relatively crazy and he was still limited (couldn’t play the field), but knee injuries have come such a long ways in recent years with surgeries, medicine, rehab, etc that the window to come back is shrinking/has shrunk. Peterson came back from a blown out knee in like 8-9 months and was back to being a NFL RB.

 

Shoulder surgeries/rehab for pitchers especially aren’t anywhere near where knee injury surgeries/rehab have evolved to.
