Cool, that’s now the entire rotation with injuries this year. Slow clap for the Mets strength and conditioning staff.
Pedro Cerrano's Voodoo
Lots of innings on those arms from last year.

216 overall really isn’t that much compared to what others are doing. It’s not how much they’re pitching, it’s how little they’re trained to do in the minors.
bradthebluefish
Lot of innings of the Cubs arms in 2015 as well and yet here they are at #1 overall in the MLB standings.
Arodsneedle
Cubs starters are more experienced though.
chesteraarthur
also largely different types of pitchers. Except Arrietta, who has struggled.
Mikel Grady
And has 4th best e.r.a. In majors

Everyone except Bartolo Colon – Big Sexy

I can’t believe all the injuries the mets have sustained. Harvey, Duda, wright, degrom, syndergaard (elbow bone spurs), degrom, walker, cespedes (quad), etc. Honestly, it’s unbelievable.
AgeeHarrelsonJones
Lets not forget Wheeler, Edgin, Lagares, Ruggiano. We’ve also has Asdrubal and Travis on DL

Matz. Can’t forget him.
jleve618
At this point Matz is a given to be injured. Skipping his name just saves time, haha.

Man this is starting to feel the like the Big 3 (Jason Isringhausen and crew) days.

Welcome to counting on pitchers. Didn’t the braves go through this not too long ago with Teheran, Medlen, and Beachy?
11Bravo
Speaking of the Braves, wasn’t too long ago they experienced success with Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux.

Yes, but they had 2 Hall of famers in the line-up, Jones and Jones along with some other position players.

Duda, walker, wright, Cabrera… Those guys aren’t pitchers. Cespedes has been dealing with a nagging quad problem- he’s not a pitcher. Pitching depth is pretty important.

Generation K…how’s Paul Wilson doing these days?
theruns
The Generation K guys put up a combined WAR of 1 for the Mets. Their current young pitchers have started an All Star Game, won a Rookie of the Year, have had several top 10 and top 5 Cy Young finishes, pitched them to a World Series and put up a 40 WAR between them with many years ahead if them.
Besides that, they are a EXACTLY like Generation K lol.
slider32
If the Mets team is centered around pitching I don’t know why they don’t extend some of their young pitchers like DeGrom. He has earned a reasonalble salary increase by his pitching over the last 3 years, rookie of the year, and their best pitcher last year and most of this year. By trading for a player like Bruce and some of the others and not taking care of their pitchers is a big mistake on their part., besides the fact that they over used all of them last year. This team just doesn’t get it with their team.

Forearm equals elbow. I remain a believer that simply because you can throw 98mph does not mean you should throw 98mph for 45-60 pitches per start.. I like Justin Verlander’s later career approach of ramping it up to the mid/high 90s as required. Pitch counts, youth baseball, 5-6 man rotations, all are frequently presented as culprits/remedies in elbow trauma, but why not investigate the logic behind throwing too hard? Work smarter, not harder – pitch, don’t throw – the names Derek Lowe, Tom Glavine, and Mark Buehrle come to mind. The human body has not evolved over the last fifteen years to meet the taxing demands placed upon present day MLB starting pitching. Frustrating to see such young talent routinely falling to elbow issues. Get well, JD.

Conditioning and luck play a part. Nolan Ryan played forever and threw hard his entire career. The final pitch of his career was clocked at 98mph at 46 years old.
staypuft
Weren’t there rumors about Ryan being on ‘roids though?
thekid9
Vin totally agree. Ryan is/was an anomaly. Inflammation in the elbow, forearm tightness. Hello? It’s Dr Andrews in the line.
Atlanta Braves Fan 4 Life
Vin and Kid I agree. Throwing hard all the time is stressing the physical capabilities of the human arm. Nolan Ryan was raised on a farm I believe tough guy, gifted with an amazing arm.
padam
Ryan did so many things right. He pitched and didn’t throw. He repeated the same delivery, which was scientifically broken down to be near perfect for someone who threw as hard as he did. His curve was also just as good as his fastball, which made his fastball look that much faster when following the curve. Ryan is the blueprint for all pitchers who desire to throw hard and fast.
jleve618
I prefer to throw hard and slow, haha.
