gotta be an embarrasing sito for Wood. time the 10M, resident 'china doll' gets a dose of humility/ reality...

 

That's one way to think about it but I think he's a gamer. He decided to forgo his ego and pitch out of the 'pen when he could have asked to be shut down.

 

'gamer' my...

 

go get 'em Murton...

 

 

Wood is injury prone but how can you argue that he wants to be hurt or doesnt want to pitch? The guy's heart can't be measured by physical limitations. I'm sure he'd love to make 30+ starts a year.

 

if Wood was a true 'gamer', he'd pitch through real pain. this "twinge in my shoulder/ elbow/ back/" is laughable. it's one thing for a young pitcher to think about his future when the big payday is far off. quite another for K-Woody, when he's being paid far more than he's worth, and will EVER make again.

 

my point is that there is no reason for Wood to keep shutting himself down because of a "twinge". you're being paid to pitch. take the ball, and suck it up son...

no? then who keeps calling Rothchild to the mound, or telling Krusty they can't go another inning due to a "twinge"?

Did Nomar get a ball out of the infield tonight?

 

Yeah in his second AB, he hit the ball decently hard, but right at the LF.

 

His other 3 ABs sucked terribly though

Probably the same people that have invested over 30 million dollars in him. Kerry got injury prone because he pitched through pain. If you want to say that he's injury prone, ok, i agree, but to say that he's soft because he's always hurt is ridiculous.

He's had a cortisone shot this year. You don't get that unless you are in extreme pain... That's the problem, I think Kerry has been pitching (quietly) through pain for years. The same can be said this year; When you look back to his last start in Cincy, Rothschild and the trainer were tipped off by his change in velocity (they knew something was wrong) but when they visited him at the mound he didnt want to admit to the problem... He would have at the least, completed the inning but they correctly took him out instead of risking further damage. Even Steve Stone, one of his most ardent critics, says that Kerry is a tough guy who wants to pitch
