Travis’ Wood
That Winkler injury was hard to watch. Gotta feel for that kid having just come back from TJ and now probably having to go under the knife again. Hope he can recover and get back out there
Acuña Matata
It was bad. I watched his arm go purple. I clutched my elbow for a split second. I hope he’s able to come back from this. I really do.
Ray Ray
Man I feel horrible for Winkler. I always liked him as a Rockies prospect and I was super PO’d when they left him exposed to the Rule 5 Draft. Hopefully he can come back from this and be a productive big leaguer because he definitely has the talent for it.

Winkler was pitching very well and showed as much promise (or more) than any other young member of the braves bullpen. Hopefully he recovers fully.
Gogerty
Agreed to all above, was watching the game deep here in Cardinal country and that was awful. Hope the kid recovers and pitches well, for Braves or Rockies.

The amazing amount of pitcher arm injuries is staggering. Makes me wonder how we did it years ago…

Smoltz hit the nail on the head the other day when he said that when he was pitching he never threw to maximum velocity.. That is probably why as a power pitcher he didn’t fall victim to TJ until his mid 30’s. Kids these days are under constant pressure to light up the radar gun. The human arm isn’t meant to do what these guys are doing and the results are exactly what we can expect. I was at my boy’s high school game last year. He was only JV at the time. Yet, both teams had radar guns being used. Once more and more of these prep players start falling to severe injuries we might start seeing a different philosophy being implemented. Hopefully, in the mean time we don’t lose the next Maddux, Clemens, Koufax, or Gibson because their arm fell off in high school. Sorry about the rant and straying a bit off topic.

Not a rant, but the truth. I have coached this game for almost 30 years and have always told my kids, movement and ball placement.

I know I threw in hs, college and A and AA until it just fell off…
