The Tanaka injury is another shit thing for baseball. The whole idea of pitching injuries is alarming. Seems like everyone has a ligament injury at some point. So many reasons for it. Max effort every pitch. Throwing sliders at too young an age. Too many pitches thrown in a whole life...reasons are endless.
At the end of the day with all these possibly pre existing conditions that put stress on the arm/elbow, what's an mlb team to do? Tanaka threw an average of 105 pitches this year. Should the yanks have been more cautious? Should the Rays not have David Price throw 110 pitches every game? I dunno.
