Taking some early bets on whether champagne gate was undersold and McCullers ends up having another surgery in the off season.

I said it last year when the forearm injury happened, "There goes another promising pitcher's arm and another notch on Dusty's bed post."

I still feel that way. Dusty should have never pitched him against the White Sox. He knew the arm was toast and he put him on the mound for 4 innings.

Yes, Lance has the accountability to speak up... but ultimately, the decision is on Dusty. He knew.

Let's just hope Lance can at least have a salvageable career as a closer. We've all known that is his destiny.

From a few weeks ago

quote:
Lance McCullers Jr heads into the postseason with a 4-2 record and a sparkling 2.27 ERA. That after being worried back in spring training he would need flexor tendon surgery: “When I showed up to spring training I was like 97.5% sure I was gonna have surgery..”

quote:
Lance McCullers Jr reiterated he was concerned during his rehab he’d need surgery. Referencing a moment in June: “Do we throw the towel in & have surgery & keep..pushing thru w/the rehab b/c we didn't want to sacrifice the following season” Lance shared similar thoughts last week

So he was nearly certain he'd need surgery in spring training and it was a consideration during his mid season rehab process. I'm gonna be surprised if he doesn't have surgery in the off season
