Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Injury Report: Max Scherzer



MINNEAPOLIS -- The D-backs placed top pitching prospect Max Scherzer on the seven-day Minor League disabled list Friday with shoulder fatigue.Scherzer, who took the baseball world by storm on April 29 when he retired all 13 Houston batters he faced in his Major League debut, underwent an MRI that showed he had shoulder inflammation and fatigue in his throwing arm.


In my video voiceover analysis of Max Scherzer, I noted that I was afraid that he was actively braking his arm by using the anterior structures of the shoulder rather than the larger posterior muscles and back muscles. I noted that this could cause serious shoulder inflammation and rotator cuff injury. It's quite a shame, given how obviously great his stuff is. Hopefully we'll see some change.

Happy fourth of July, everyone!

Wow, it’s sad but true. Seems that you called it. I went back and watched the voiceover — very thorough and you raised the red flag of braking the arm on the follow-through. Hope it’s not too serious.

p.s. Can’t get enough of your site.
