    I haven’t heard anything concrete but I don’t think it’s good

    Spoke to his dad last night and they did not know much other than tightness. At the time, and I stress that, they did not believe it was UCL.

    BOK said last night on the postgame show that he stiifend up when he went out in the 5, couldn't get loose and they took him out as a precaution and will check him out today/ Didn't say what part but when someone says stiffend to me that means back area.

    Someone on Genespage said he was cramping up. If that is true then that is good news in my opinion.

    And I will add that Ryan has had Tommy John before so he is probably familiar with symptoms of that and things like that.

    I, along with a bunch of other people noticed him shaking his hand/arm in the previous inning after I believe what was a curve ball/slider; he did make some more effective pitches after that. When everyone started talking about tightness, I thought forearm. I don’t know enough about the different injuries and how they present, but I guess best case scenario is that he strained something in his forearm. I’m sure that nerve would cause issues with the forearm though.

    I hope it's nothing but rest needed. The youngster obviously has a big future and will be a very high draft pick in the 2027 July Draft.

    Something I hope Parker tells him is that a collegiate starter is not supposed to be max effort for 7 to 8 innings. He can do that in MLB while getting paid 7 to 9 million per season. In college we are good with easy 96 with his great movement and life. No need for 99 like he did last night. MLB knows a big frame dude like him can add 3 MPH at will.

    I'd be surprised if it's a UCL tear based on the fact he had the surgery not that long ago and he didn't really react like it was a UCL tear.

    That injury usually leads to a pretty immediate reaction. He was shaking his arm for a few innings while he continued to throw (and throw well). Which indicates the tightness like what's been reported.

    He'll be shut down for a few weeks & slowly ramped back up if I had to guess.

    I'm on the hopeful side with everybody else. Tightness in the forearm could be anything from dehydration to just needing a little break. Hopefully its temporary and we will get him back soon

    He winced in the 4th late in the inning but threw a few more pitches to get out of the inning. He came out in the 5th and threw one warmup pitch and started shaking his arm. The shaking is never a good sign. That's something you see a lot with UCL injuries. I think the longer it takes for us to hear something the worse it is. If it's nothing major we should be hearing reports that he's o.k. and that it was just precautionary, etc. If this stays mum for a few days it's probably not going to be good.

    It may be shorter just because BOC is way more transparent with injuries than Lemonis was. I'm sure we'll find out more after the game tonight.
