Yep. That too. With a nice lead in a weak division this year, we can afford to be overly cautious with our young pitching.
I think he's slated for Tuesday @ Cleveland as long as he's doing OK.
I used to get forearm pain after lifting back in my 40's when I lifted 6 days a week. It was really hard to get rid of. Painful after the fact. Had to buy these wrist wraps to be able to lift. I hope he has better luck.
Just checked and so far Woo is slated for game 2 in Cleveland
From everything I’ve heard on the problem with Woo is it is something that he won’t really know if he is good to go until he does a legit warm up pre game. Dude I was listening to isn’t a doctor but he basically said either he needs to be shut down for at least a month, put in the bullpen or push through it and hope his tendon doesn’t pop.
Talk about doom and gloom and I can't blame him. Being up 8+ games maybe best choice is to shut him down and bring Woo back after ASB
That’s what I think they should’ve done after his second mishap. Either that or move him to the bullpen where he can go an inning or too or if he warms up and he can’t go then put in another pitcher. It is going to be impossible of making sure Hancock is on the same pitching schedule in the minors.
My fear is what the O's just did and that was Bradish getting hurt the 2nd time this season now lost to TJ surgery.
That seems like the biggest fear for Woo, IMO they either need to just let him go until it goes and he has to get surgery or just shut him down. I’m not a doctor but is there a pre emptive surgery or something. With Hancock getting hurt tonight they can’t keep doing the roster roulette for the number 5 spot. Just add Keuchel to the 40 man and give him the 5th spot and put Woo in the pen. Do the roster roulette in the bullpen not the rotation IMO.
I'm wondering if we bag the trade for hitting and try for a starter. Keuchel at the 5 slot is a void and puts Woo in the pen to limit his innings and lots of rest after the season.
I too rather go offense/pen but this Woo issue probably won't go away.
I wish Miller was better because I agree Woo should be moved to the pen at least for this year. Now if we could get a legit SP ten Miller at #5 would be fine. Maybe you can use Keuchal and Hancock as a combo replacement. But ya, I agree Woo needs to be moved for now.
