August 9, 20223 yr Good i didn’t want him playing the outfield. Hopefully he can face live pitching next week

Pretty dumb considering they’ll be in a better position to contend next year. He should just get the surgery. No help from the Rays or Giants today which is unfortunate since they are facing Alcantara tonight.

Rhys had his surgery beginning of October (October 5 to be exact), he was back for opening day. There’s two different surgical techniques now. One supposedly you recover faster. I’m guessing he opts on that one. Just a guess he likely is a DH until midseason next year when he’s fully recovered. https://www.houstonmethodist.org/newsroom/new-surgical-technique-cuts-tommy-john-recovery-time-in-half/
August 10, 20223 yr Eh, knowing the Phillies they'll probably just have Harper rest it over the winter and then discover in March that he actually needs surgery.

Yeah they were dumb with siranthony. I have a feeling harper elects to do what Rhys did. Rhys has been fine in that respect using the newer technique which cut down recovery. I’d not play him outfield next year either tbh. Just let him DH

He couldn't get back into the country

He got hurt in June 2019 and thought a throwing program they set up would be the better option (it’s almost never the case that works for a pitcher). Usually when you have an elbow/ucl injury with a pitcher that thing doesn’t get better unless you get the surgery. Tends to be a ticking time bomb where it’ll eventually either completely tear or get worse. The reason why they ran into the issues with Covid. He had the same discomfort it in March 2020 in spring training and dr. Andrews said he needed surgery then. Again normally pitchers with a UCL injury rarely recover fully or back to form without surgery. That’s where they screwed up. They should’ve had that done back when all of us on here said that was the inevitable outcome (i believe Jayson stark that 2019 year said he was eventually going to need it. I remember cause Mike miss asked him about it when it happened and then again before the season ended)
August 11, 20223 yr Makes it worse then just the bats doing nothing tonight is that they aren’t even making Sandy work. He has 45 pitches through 5 innings. He’s on pace to pitch 9 innings at 78 pitches.
