Richmond placed on 15 day dl

.... according to reports from Sportsnet.ca with bicep tendinitis.

According to the National Post, it is retroactive to July 1. NatPo adds that Cecil will take Richmond's start on Sunday and that Millsy will be called up to fill the vacated starting slot.

Yikes, things looking even bleaker for Jays, but a good chance for some upstarts to prove themselves. Lets hope Cecil returns to early season form and that Millsy can curb the hanging pitch habit which home-run hitters feast on.

This is starting to seem like some sort of cosmic joke.

You know what’s sad?

This stuff doesn’t even surprise me anymore.

Was thinking the same thing.

I wonder if we can coax Jimmy Key out of retirement. Dave Stieb?

Leave marcum...

No sense Rushing the guy now…clearly the team’s falling…hasnt been an improvement in 2 months…No sense trying to rush his rehab to revive the rotation, leave him till next season..last thing we need is another Mcgowan

sounds like Richmond, at least

is thinking he’ll be back quite soon, maybe just missing a couple of starts. It’s not at all unusual for a pitcher to have an issue like that at some point during a season. Hope he recovers as quickly as he thinks he will

Isn't this why Arnsberg was fired from Florida?

I thought that they had a really high injury rate there as well. It’s just something my brother mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago. He said it’s because he teaches the change or something. Which doesn’t make any sense, I know that the slider is hard on the elbow, but I’ve never heard of the change being hard on your arm. Isn’t it the same as a fastball only you throw it slower somehow?

I don’t know, but was hoping someone here might have more insight?

the change

isn’t very hard on your arm compared to other pitches – in fact, one of the things they teach you is that if you are throwing it correctly, it shouldn’t put any more or any less strain on your arm than a fastball. To the extent you are using more changes at the expense of less curves, cutters, or sliders, you’re probably decreasing your chance of injury
