Theres so much out there about this, and it's such bad news on top of the awful playing the Nats have done this week, that I've had it. I don't want to read any more about this. So I'll ask a question here that hopefully has been answered. Is it believed that this injury requiring TJ happened last Saturday? Or did they just chance upon it by doing the MRI? Further, did Stras have this contrast MRI when we went on the DL in July, and thus not have this injury then? or any signs of it?
It seems unbelievable this just popped up in two and a half starts. It further seems so unbelievable he's injured to the point of TJ surgery in just half a professional season, when so much ridiculous precaution was taken. Is there much precedent for a guy with this little playing time, babied this much, and who had just had an MRI show clean a couple weeks prior having this happen? Or is it, as I've been posting for a couple months, strongly due in part to Stras throwing so hard and appearing to have "rough" mechanics where he's just throwing his entire body behind a 100+ pitch?
