I'm more inclined to think that he's a young power pitcher, and the odds are he, like many others, are going to suffer injury sooner or later.

A year later? Doubtful.

Injuries happen. Throwing the baseball is unnatural. All it takes is one pitch to sustain an injury. Because he throw a bunch of innings last year you're saying that caused an injury today? That's quite a leap.

If it's the arm, DL him. Starting LeCure or Maloney for two weeks won't make or break the season. Rushing Homer back and maybe losing him for 2 months could.

Too bad Micah won't get a few PAs during this outing today.

And if it's just cramping...we're worrying about nothing. I agree that if he's injured...DL him...and that's what they'll do.

They show up the following year. That's basically what the 30 IP increase at a time theory points to.

Are they playing video game noises in the ballpark every time an Indian scores a run??!

The theory has absolutely very little behind it. It's a stretch. Guys like Tom Verducci have provided nothing that points to causation.
