re: Wrist cramp for Kade as per Jay

quote:

zero chance he'd say he was ok if he wasnt, either

Yeah him just outright saying he is fine gives me hope. Had he been vague or said they would wait on mri results before commenting then I would feel alot worse about it.

Q: How's Kade's wrest?


"He's fine, there's no problem. He threw two warmup pitches that were 92 mph. We made him throw the extras, but I made a decision that he is too important for us... he is probably the one guy you can pencil into a big league rotation within 24 months, so it was just the right thing to do. He's fine.

We are past the Tommy John thing. It was like, just a cramp in his wrist. I felt much better after the two (warmup) pitches that he threw. We got him right in, and Isaac (Trujilo, Trainer) evaluated him and had no concerns of anything, so feel good."

Anderson's exact words when Jay walked out was "my wrist is locking up"


That's not really indicative of an arm injury

Not saying it isnt a cramp, but there is a zero chance jay would come out with something negative about it to the media. He is always coy about injuries

---

Yeah he'd have ben way moire vague about it.

Thank you Lord and also bless the pigmies of the wasteland.

i'll hold my breathe until imaging comes back.

Does Alex Box have imaging like Tiger Stadium does?

Maybe they have already seen images.

Didn't know athletic trainers have the training to diagnose things

Based on his training and background, it appears it does.

Prior to joining the Arizona staff, Trujillo worked two years at Samford University, serving as assistant athletic trainer. He worked directly with the baseball team and supervised intern athletic trainers working with the track & field and cross country teams.

All due respect, I don't see anything in his resume that says he can diagnose things. It just indicates he is experienced. Probably plenty experienced to say whether it's just a cramp, but I'd say the extent of what he can do is say "we need some imaging and get an orthopedist to look at that" on an official basis. And frankly, with the amount of money involved in D1 sports, I'd figure that might be a protocol for ANY arm discomfort for a pitcher.

With all due respect… I don’t know how many D1 or professional level programs you’ve ever been a part of ( I have )… but folks at his level, even under his level, take extensive classes, training, specific to multiple types of injuries related to the sport they are working… And have several tests they run on site to make certain there is no reason to recommend further testing, have additional concerns… Mobility, specific movements related to the potential injury, etc. They have folks that have done this and are specialist for many many years, to teach and to train them on how to assess and diagnose this specific type of situation…

Again, I doubt you’ve ever been part of a D1 or professional program and I have… So, just take my word for it… He absolutely has the ability to make a assessment to recommend if it is cause for concern or not… And I am sure Jay trusts him since he followed him from Arizona over here, on stuff like this.
