Labrum issues would be a lot worse and a lot more difficult to make a full recovery. At least with TJS, there are enough programs to rebuild the arm strength and many pitchers come back just as good and sometimes with a touch more zip.   @the5allens This is true.

Nice job by the Royals making the Rangers look like chumps. I’m happy to eat crow when I am wrong, and after Mazzaro’s win tonight, I couldn’t help but re-read my final line from this post.

Yayyy.    He's pitched fairly okay in Omaha at least. Hopefully he doesn't have another Cleveland meltdown.   @ArrowFan We get Vin Mazzaro tonight! Yayyy.
