So let’s not really worry about Madison Bumgarner because of his results yesterday. Let’s worry about Madison Bumgarner because of his process yesterday.

Let’s worry about him because he’s hurt, and he’s pitching like it. He’s admitted to having a neuroma in his landing foot. Neuromas are commonly used to refer to swelling in a nerve, and the feeling is described as a shooting one — let’s worry about the lefty because he’s landing on razor blades every time he throws the ball.

Yeah, something is wrong. Let’s worry about Madison Bumgarner’s health. He’s told us he’s hurting, and it’s translating into reduced stuff and injury markers on the field. His stuff is soft and up, and that’s not good. It would probably be better for him to sit and get right instead of trying to battle through this on the field. There’s one treatment that can take as little as 15 days, for example. The Giants are probably on top of this, but they may want to consider sitting him as it runs its course. It’s better than messing up the rest of his mechanics or creating another health problem.
