Since our trade, FFF has ascended from 91 to 98 points, and I've tanked from 104 to 96.5. Still very very early to judge, but there's almost never a reason for a veto. Especially when you see a shark like FFF swing a questionable deal.

Well whatever the reason for the injuries, an independent study needs to be done , not a study by the league which they quote from. The pitcher is the most important athlete on the field. It is like putting a limit on the qb and say he cannot hold the ball for more than 5 seconds or there will be a penalty. I know it is not exact parallel but just saying.

I can see how the pitch clock can affect some pitchers who aren't conditioned to work that way, but I'm not sure it's as impactful for injuries as you claim. There have always been quick workers on the mound, and I don't recall any relative prevalence of TJS in quick workers vs slow workers. In my (non medical and completely baseless) opinion, it's the velocity emphasis and the pursuit of spin rate that has UCLs going wonky.

the presses to allow the muscles to come back. Pitchers until recently have worked at their own pace to essentially allow that. Now the muscles are subject to an 18 or 20 second time clock which they were never trained for in high school or college. Finally the pitch clock creates some anxiety in the pitcher's mind which gets transferred to the muscles. I think we will see more injuries. Last year we saw an increase in injuries to pitchers which I said was the time clock. More are coming.

Referencing the comment byCans of Corn about the injury to Bieber, I predicted that after the pitch clock we would see a raft of injuries to top pitchers . We have Cole , now Bieber and now also possibly Strider. The players union was against the pitch clock bc of possible injuries. I am hold that trainers say there needs to be time for the muscles to relax after they have been extended.For example when someone is doing presses at a gym, there needs to be a certain amount of time between

I also want to stick up for Ottoneu as a format. I enjoy rebuilding and competing almost equally, really. But the overall point is to compete. Hoarding surplus and prospects is a blast, but if you don't cash those in (and receive loans to facilitate the deals), you aren't competing at the level required to beat sharks like GC and FFF. Loans are a tool for rebuilders to boost their ability to compete the following year, more than they are a tool for current competitors.

Oh dang! Just saw the Bieber news. I think that was me, rubbing my crystal ball during the draft. Too many red flags there to not take notice.

I also really appreciate the discussion here, and see it as a good sign for the health of the league.
I want to speak up and vouch for FFF, as I know him to be a truly exceptional 5x5 Ottoneu owner who is more than capable of handling his business. I understand the concern for the deal on the surface, but there's a possible outcome where I got absolutely swindled in this deal, and with FFF's reputation, I consider that outcome fairly likely to manifest.🌽 Cans of Corn and Worm Burners 🪱 on April 6, 2024 11:40 AM
