[@michaelconner9796]

I don't think the pitch clock is breaking pitchers arms. I think throwing 96+ mph is. The pitch clock has only been around for a season and arm blowouts have been going up for a while. Not every pitcher needs to be a velocity pitcher, especially before they are 25...

[@whataniceguitar]

it definitely doesn't help, but the main issue for sure is how hard the bros are throwing. problem is there's NO solution for this. i hate toyota verlander but his take on this is spot on.

[@f3ryx]

100%, International leagues don’t have the same issues.

[@Koyomimatic]

they could get rid of the pitch clock and elbow blowouts will continue to go up because guys want (or are forced to, let's be honest as well) to keep throwing 97-100+ all the time without a second thought

[@mcj88]

It's why I've advocated more pitchers trying to pick up and learn the knuckleball; it's lighter on a pitcher's arm which means fewer arm blowouts _and_ longer outings, and it's slower which means _on average_ exit velocity will be lessened. Basically the only people who don't win in this are batters who need to adjust to its chaos and the catchers who have to catch it, but honestly? To both of those groups I say: skill issue, get good.

[@FowlPlayPresents]

Games used to be like 2 hours on average and they'd pitch all game and rack up 300 innings a year. Now I'm sure that's unhealthy as well but the increase in ungodly movement on breaking pitches and the velocity being higher puts a lot of pressure on arms especially when pitchers are being taught mechanics to maximize those things rather than doing what works right for their bodies. But it's like what can you do to fix this, those things matter in being called up and getting valued by the league.

[@Epicpoomba]

The injury trend chart basically shows that it has nothing to do with the pitch clock since the biggest peak in the minor league was the year before the pitch clock. Also for MLB there basically is no difference 2012 had 42 which is similar to 2023. Its obviously velocity.

[@EricBussman]

That's pretty weird. What's the point?

[@_PatrickO]

The pitch clock has nothing to do with pitchers who refuse to adjust to having no grip enhancers. They are blowing their arms out instead of adjusting how they throw.

[@jackwheeler609]

I was talking with a former MLB pitching coach and he claims that the reason injuries have gone up is because the league has cracked down on illegal substances. In an effort to spin the ball like they used to (illegally) they contort and whip their arms more, causing more injuries. When I asked, he said that 3 years ago over 3/4 of his pitching rotation (which I won't name) was abusing sticky substances and that was, according to him, about average compared to other MLB teams

[@edalder2000]

Velocity as an issue with pitchers is plausible. Another factor is how spin rate has become a factor. More RPMs on pitches can be just as damaging as velocity. Max RPMs is also a part of throwing hard. Max RPMs on a slider is going to put much more strain per pitch on an arm. Keep going max Velo and Max RPMs is asking to injure a pitcher's arm.

[@AmandaCohen7456]

my hot baseball take is that mlb should institute a max velocity, and any pitch over is a ball. this would increase hits, making games more interesting, and switch pictures focused to more visually impressive pitches that have more movement and would increase the strategy of an ab by de-emphasizing throwing the ball hard

[@theindooroutdoorsman]

[@maximilianbima2265]

As a new baseball fan, tbh I like the pitch clock rule. Why? It gives more action and not having to engage/disengage every time by the pitchers. So more action and less standing around (based on my brief search on past games). However I do feel like the current time we have is too fast. A bit leniency on time should help it by a bit, also too many rules with how the pitcher should face bla bla…. Most if the umpires do whatever they like anyway so its not gonna be relevant most of the time. Let them do their thing so batter and base runners need to be more agile and active and anticipate those movements. Ofc my opinion will be hated, harassed by some ‘hardcore, I’ve watched baseball even before I was born’ type of fan. But that’s just my perspective from a new baseball fan, feel free to disagree. Maybe share some of your perspective rather than straight pumping your hatred to me.

[@SpaceyVlogs]

Agree 100%

[@sunny1992s]

I see the pitch clock similar to the shot clock in the NBA. As it forced the sport to change the style of play that produce more action for the fans. I see some pitchers are adapting to the rule changes relatively easily. Glasnow on the Dodgers is having a hell of a season and is showing no sign of struggling.

Drama aside this season of baseball is pretty entertaining. Shota on the Cubs had a rough start but hes making a strong case for the NL Cy Young. Baltimore is making the argument they are the best team in the AL East right now(even as the Yankees acquired Soto). Bobby Witt Jr on the Royals is having a fantastic season and maybe win the AL MVP. Yes the drama with the Marlins, White Sox, and A's is infuriating; but theres too much talent to ignore.

So basically here is how to make a grilled cheese Start off by getting your two slices of bread, lots of kinds of bread can be used such as sourdough which is pretty popular although I personally prefer using white bread. Next you need to get your cheese, lots of cheeses exist that are really good for grilled cheese but I realize that most people don't have many types of cheeses at home just laying there so if all you have are slices of American cheese I would recommend just using two slices per grilled cheese because that's just my personal preference for cheese to bread ratio Now for the cooking, I know some people use panini presses which work very well but most people don't have a panini press so you can just get an oven top and a stove and set heat at 3 and put butter on the pan and spread it around then when it's melted slap on the grilled cheese and keep it there until it is golden brown which is when you take it off and put another piece of butter on there and put the grilled cheese back on when it melts once that side has turned golden brown as well you must take it off and I personally recommend cutting it diagonally to make triangle and once you do that you can enjoy your delicious grilled cheese

ok, i'm curious if this is a viable argument for the tom john. take all the pitchers that threw above 100 from 10 years before pitch clock till it was implemented. check how many were injured every year. for the giggles, do it in the past 100 years. compare to when the pitch clock was implemented and, if pitch clock has more, it's probably a big reason.
