Dodgers have sucked ass, treated the first month like spring training, and treated the off-season with little care... and are 4.5 games back from first place with the best run differential. Rest of the NL West has gotta be sick. That’s hilarious
Rich Hill said he touched 92 mph today throwing another bullpen session with his injured finger taped. -Gurnick This storyline is pure entertainment at this point. The guy is making near 20 million, has missed countless starts for the same boo-boo, he’s been submerging his hand in piss and pickle juice among other things I’m sure, now the latest is he’s bragging about touching a mediocre velocity with his finger taped which wouldn’t even be allowed in real action. Idk, something about this just makes me laugh.
Pure cold pressed lavender oil would fix the issue for him. It is perfect for blisters and burns and it does not smell bad like piss and vinegar. I know someone who burned her arms and thorax horribly with and har her skin blistered up bad. We applied the lavender oil and some frankincense in case of infection and the thing was cured fast. Only slight discoloration where there should have been massive scarring. I have used it for blisters on my big toe and after 1 day there is no more liquid in the blister and after 2 days there is no ring around the blister area and after 3 or 4 days there is nothing. No blister, no scab, no mark, no redness, nothing. Perfect for Hill to use in between starts. And he can use antiperspirant deodorant on his hands, arms, fingers to avoid sweat from getting into his finger tips. The sweat plus the heat plus the friction is why he gets them.
I have been a big Rich Hill defender against fans from other teams. Inning for inning, he's been one of the better pitchers in baseball the past couple years. When he's healthy and on his game, he's as fun to watch as anyone. But it has gotten ridiculous at this point. It's incredible how much money we've dedicated to starting pitchers the past few years and how little they actually pitch.
Like pretty much everyone else, had no idea this guy would be struggling with blisters to this level. However, I did feel like he'd be missing a shit load of starts for one reason or another because he's just old as fuck. If it weren't blister problems, it'd be something else falling apart. Hated this signing
Perfect for him IMO In all seriousness, your plan sounds like a good one. Nowhere to go but up anyway. I mean, I know a blister presents a lot of technical issues, but I can’t help but think the worst thing he ever did was start sitting out to “let it heal”. If he had said fuck the pain and pitched through it from the get go, he’d have a fucking callous there by now. Mollycoddling the body for minor shit is almost always a bad idea.
They got all that cheap labor from Goldschmidt though As soon as he nears FA - at 30/31 yrs old - he falls off completely Lucky them, makes their decision in the near future that much easier
The Dbacks suck and the SFags suck, eh? Since they are both looking down on us, what do we rate...lower than suck, I guess? Meanwhile, this kid is making the lineup look stupid. Let's go, blue juggernaut !
Maeda making me a convert...just don't want him to go back to what he was and can be. But awesome, mang.
