I've been thinking about all these injuries, not just for the Jays, but in general. With pitchers it's not surprising given how hard so many are throwing these days. This sort of thing has been well documented by others ,but throwing hard doesn't seem to lend itself well to a lot of innings pitched or longevity in general. In the case of position players, these guys are so incredibly athletic and fit now, but I wonder if this athleticism lends itself to going all out too much...leading to more injuries?
Sometimes I pine for the good old days when players were chubby, drank and smoked...and seemed to play a lot more games each year. Oh, and had moustaches and nicknames and had massive chaws in their cheeks with all sorts of discoloured drool over their uniforms.
Hey! Minor comment/request - some of us watch the games later (or even the next day, if it's a late game/we're busy). Would it be possible not to spoil the outcome of game in the headline? I was actually just about to watch today's game when I checked my email and saw that we lost from the subject line. Cheers!
