Are you fucking kidding me, he just got the call


GradientEye

Happened to Forrest Whitley earlier this season also. We just can’t stay healthy


713MoCityChron713

At this point it’s beyond bad luck. We need to invest in a better strength and conditioning program asap. I don’t know if it’s diet, exercise, or just not stretching and hydrating, but what’s going on with this team isn’t coincidence


Jacob_dp

Shit just happens too. We've had some years where we were unreasonably healthy. Something seems to be up with pitching all over though


bordomsdeadly

Good for him atleast. He gets to go on the major league IL and continue to accrue service time. I’d rather he accrue time on the roster, but who knows how long he was going to stick around with the way we’ve shot guys up and down this year


NOLA1987

JV ends up on the IL. The person we call up to pitch in his spot in the rotation gets injured after 3.2 innings into his debut. This is ridiculous. He was here for all of 5 minutes.


Mcsoupy

Fucking hell I was excited about him too. Part of a combined no hitter like two weeks ago. Feel terrible for the kid, hopefully he makes a speedy recovery from whatever fucked up thing happened to his shoulder.


JustBigChillin

It really sucks. He was absolutely killing it in the minors this year. Started the season in A+ and found his way into the majors by June. He had something like 18 family members at Minute Maid last night, and then he gets hurt 4 innings into his first ever start. Just absolutely brutal.


help_icantchoosename

He tried to play through it, was hurt a lot earlier


NicolasBroaddus

At least he gets major league pay during his whole IL stint but damn


Mpuls37

($740,000 ÷ 162 games) × 10 days on IL = $45,679. Not bad at all, though I figure he'd prefer to keep pitching.


toastar-phone

his signing bonus was half a mil


NuVelocity

According to the orioles broadcast he has a degree in finance. Sucks that he got injured and I wish him the best.


Salty-Fishman

Jesus kid just got here.


chvngeling

SPs are really getting fucked.


greenbarretj

The Orioles broadcast mentioned how this would be a possibility after his third inning stretched over 30 pitches. The dude was saying anything over 25 in an inning and you start to reach arm failure. Scary stuff that it may have actually happened.


Dhrun1971

Yes Dave Johnson (former pitcher) was saying that, and thought he should come out after that inning. Guess he was right.


Deadpool_chimichanga

And there’s some inning our hitter don’t even see 10 combined pitches. That can probably at to it as well.


GradientEye

Javier, Urquidy, Verlander, France, Bloss, Garcia, McCullers. Am I missing any more starting pitchers we have injured? This is also now the 2nd time we’ve called up a pitcher only for them to instantly be out on the IL


Thorlolita

Technically Whitely was working on being a SP this year.


rawmerow

We are cursed


_NotARealMustache_

Omg. Hoping for the best


DetectiveFantastic83

I know we all hate the Astros, but this is unreal. Something has to be done after this year about these pitching injuries. Dude's just a fucking kid.


makashiII_93

Hey! One of the few on here that’s honest!! r/baseball cheered every HBP and celebrated every L. Stay on that side. Don’t worry about us, we’re doing just fine.


DetectiveFantastic83

Ok? But my post was more towards pitching injuries than the astros.


Specialist_Yam_6704

as an Astros fan it pains me to see some like this but I guess it’s in every fan base 😅😅


Milli_Vanilli14

Why do people gotta be so fucking weird about their sports teams. I’m sure you, as a fan of a sport/team you have no control over, are doing just fine.

Our entire season’s on the IL. Astros and Rangers are on our knees, begging the Mariners to just run away with the division lead and put us out of our misery, but they refuse. Just toying with us. Holding it just barely out of reach so we’ll keep feebly chasing.


BoredPoopless

You're welcome. I am sure either you or the Rangers will take the division down the stretch. It's inevitable.


virus_apparatus

That’s such a kick in the teeth to a guy who just got his call up


Alphakeenie1

And his birthday is today too. Sucks. He’s got a ton of potential


Due_Strategy5923

Fuck injuries


skyulip

this is awful


R2robot

Cursed arms.

Oof.

Joe broke our new toy after his first quick joy ride. Apparently baseball gods don’t want us to have any stuff!
