15 ties? No, I own 15 Jerry Garcia ties. Probably have another 25 or so of the off-brand stuff.

I guess I've never counted how many ties I have...hate the dog-gone things but....its a living.

You're a professional tie counter?

How many necks do you own?

They do have alternative uses, you know.

Was he saying he was sore? Was he stiff?

"He wanted to throw more pitches after the session was over."

And Steve McCatty seemed to like what he saw.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

So, according to this, the game will be on FSMW and mlb.tv, but according to this, it's not.

McCatty may have to have some more private sessions to take a closer examination though.

I'd be glad to never hear another Wang joke again if the guy becomes a #3 pitcher or better.

Jordan Zimmermann is going to throw 10-15 pitches in a bullpen session Monday.

He's gotta rehab sometime.

Just remembered that he pitched a game in college with a jaw wired shut after shattering it on a comebacker. He'll be back in August? I believe it.

I think that's freaking nuts. It's TJ surgery. The usual timetable is what - 12-18 months? This is a lost season anyway. I feel like they're rushing him.

Remembering how well he pitched in June/July before going down, it'd be a terrible mistake to mess up his arm when you could have him at 100% for 2011.

houston-nat · « **Reply #571 on:** March 19, 2010, 07:56:38 pm »

From August 11:

Quote

The prognosis for return from Tommy John surgery is typically 12-18 months, meaning Zimmermann could return anywhere from this time next season to the beginning of the 2011 season.

It's at least sensible of Rizzo to tell Zimmermann he will not play in a ballgame until August.

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #572 on:** March 19, 2010, 07:58:44 pm »

My thought is maybe, maybe let him get some minor league innings in September, preferably as a reliever.

Let him get in some conditioning and send him to a winter league where he can work on his breaking stuff while regaining arm strength and generally tuning up.

houston-nat · « **Reply #573 on:** March 19, 2010, 08:05:48 pm »

My thought is see what happens, but Zimmermann definitely needs to be protected at all costs. Of course, that's true for everyone else too; the point of this year could be summed up as "protect arms." Because a 2011 rotation of Strasburg, Wang, Zimmermann, Lannan, Marquis/Detwiler speaks for itself.

Nathan · « **Reply #574 on:** March 19, 2010, 08:18:25 pm »

8 ks through 4 innings of work for Stras.
