Probably out forever
lol, I posted this in the Game Thread. Who knows what it is yet, but certainly not good
Hal sucks
It's probably elbow cancer. Or elbow AIDS. Or Elbowla.
I just read the transcript from him. Long term recurrent discomfort since college, moreso today and his velo was down. I am clearly concerned that this is UCL, maybe a partial tear that’s been there for a bit. Not good
Hopefully he just banged his elbow on a wall or something
It’s been hurting him for awhile. He feels intermittent soreness and has since college. Yesterday the pain was worse and his velocity was down. There’s something in there. If it’s a chronic problem that doesn’t require anything more than rest, fine, but I’ll plan for the worst and hope for the best

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
“Flexor strain” is never something you want to hear your pitcher having. Half of these people really have underlying UCL damage.
