May 26, 20179 yr Seems as if in recent years the Reds have had continuous issue with their pitchers being injured. Question is why? Is it truly just dumb luck? Overuse at the lower levels? Overuse at the Major League Level? Improper care taken by the medical staff? Are the pitchers themselves responsible?
May 26, 20179 yr It's not an issue that is isolated to the Reds. Pitchers in general are getting injured more frequently all over baseball.

The organization took shots back at him, but never claimed he was wrong.

May 27, 20179 yr 164 MLB pitchers have gone in the DL this season. An average of almost 5 1/2 per team. I can only imagine the amount of money paid out to players on the DL.
May 27, 20179 yr But also the 10-Day DL is being used a lot as well Not sure what you're getting at with the but? Are you saying teams have injured pitchers they're not putting on the DL, and leaving active on their roster?
May 27, 20179 yr Remember the stuff Mat Latos said a few years ago? The organization took shots back at him, but never claimed he was wrong. Yeah definitely wasn't because he was lazy, out of shape, and didn't want to do his rehab.
May 27, 20179 yr Author Yeah definitely wasn't because he was lazy, out of shape, and didn't want to do his rehab. Thats not fair, he did his rehab, just was a different program....lol.
May 27, 20179 yr Not sure what you're getting at with the but? Are you saying teams have injured pitchers they're not putting on the DL, and leaving active on their roster? There is now a 10-Day Disabled list. Whereas the fifteen would cause a pitcher to lose 3 starts. The ten day with an off day causes them to lose only one. So teams will put pitchers on the 10-day list a lot faster than the previous 15-day list.
May 27, 20179 yr Yeah definitely wasn't because he was lazy, out of shape, and didn't want to do his rehab. I think Latos was pretty good for us 33-16 over 3 years. 14-4, 14-7, and 5-5. ERA about a 3.3. He said bad things about the team's leadership and medical personnel. No one ever came out and said that he was wrong. They just said they were glad he was gone.

This was predicted by the talking heads as a probability - not just a possibility - as soon as it was announced that there would be a 10-day disabled list.
