A lot of pitchers have been throwing weighted ball in training to increase velocity. While it works, those pitchers also have higher injury rates. This is a longish article, but it examines how this occurs.

Weighted baseball programs have become popular to increase pitching velocity. But, the popularity has grown faster than our understanding of the science.

Darvish was solidly hitting 94 with movement, stuff. Gilbert topped out at 97 but was straight, and got straightened out.

Eduardo Rodriguez could really help the Dbacks. LH Abbott for the Reds back at him and he walked the 9th hitter to set up the top of the order and get whacked.

Most people start to cut out after 5 innings.
 
The White Sox are back to talking with the Rangers and Yankees about a Cease trade. I may have seen his last outing last night, 3.1 IP with 8 Ks.
 
I didn't see it... But heard about it.. Aroldis Chapman had a video on Instagram... Really, really creepy.. With his mother I guess., definitely an very older woman.. .playing and kissing her breasts.... The video has been taken down..

I'm sure, if true.. More will follow..

As it stands, he's expected to miss 1-2 months, but that timetable may change based on further evaluation.
 
Bauer throwing 97-99 in a spring exhibition game. Some team should pick him up.

Lots of talk here in NY about the Yankees taking a shot with Bauer because of the questions now with Cole...

But...... Some are wondering if there are more allegations coming out against him...
 
Cole is out so the Yankees tagged Marcus Stroman opening day pitcher...

Marcus said NO!!..... Lol
 
Never heard that before. Isn't it supposed to be an honor? Players say it is anyways.

He's wants to pitch opening day in the Bronx... Not Houston... If he pitches opening day in Houston.. He'll miss the Bronx.

Not a good sign from Stroman.
Thought he was over that stuff.

LH Tully will probably be in the NYY rotation.
He had a good AAA last year.
The AL East suddenly looks down.
 
Ranking the starting lineups. A little surprising that the Braves end up at #1. The author notes potential weaknesses in lineups. Rockies are even worse than the lowly A's. Lol.
