What I don't understand is that if

Meyer ruins a career by saying “No really I’m fine” and then Duke goes on the DL after saying “No I can keep pitching”...Why do the A’s continue to allow guys to throw after they feel so much discomfort you can see it in their body language? This is hard to see coming?

I blame the manager.

He should take the option away from the player. Eveland shouldn’t have pitched the 2nd.

by WaddellCanseco on Apr 30, 2008 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

yeah exactly

it should be enough to call the training staff out…once you do these guys need to be able to trust them. it’s too much to ask them to call the trainers out AND then beg their way out. and it usually leads to just getting whacked around and losing the game anyways. a competitive disadvantage, and worse injuries due to overcompensation. It’s just all around making me wanna pull my hair out.
