I posted this in the other thread but this new one started.

The arthogram is what worries me. It might be a precaution.

But it also may explain why they know now he will miss a start. HE won’t be able to throw for 4 or 5 days or something like that if I remember from when Prior had it.

Actually in a way if this has been bothering him for awhile we needed him to be more like Prior. When you’re hurting you should tell your team. Injuries don’t go away by wishing and praying,

Manning up so to speak is not always the best thing, When something is bothering you you should say something,

How would we all feel if a tomorrow we find out Z is lost for the season and if he had said something 2 weeks ago it might have been less serious?

I phrased that badly What I mean is if it has been bothering him awhile and it might have because of the trouble he;s had the last few starts wishing and hoping doesnt make it better and rarely does pitching through it. He should have said something earlier.

i’m already getting estimates of restitching “HART” where it used to say that on my #22 jersey

I agree with your concern.........

the MR arthrogram is a little more sensitive than the plain MRI, and more specifically used for concern of LABRAL problems…...this is waht concerns me… hopefully this will be negative, but the fact that he’s getting a MR arthrogram immediately unfortunately puts mch more concern for a mroe serious (season ending) injury.

by LuisSalazar on Jun 19, 2008 8:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

FWIW

I read that the MR arthrogram is also used to detect pinpoint tears of the rotator cuff. I’m not sure how serious that is, but when it comes to a pitcher that sounds like at least a month or two. Yikes.

by peterman on Jun 19, 2008 8:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

you are correct...

however, if there was concern for just a small tear of the rotator cuff (of which many play with anyway), an MRI should be suffice, and wouldn’t cause him to be shut down for any period of time if negative. The fact that the MR-Arthrogram is what is being ordered from the get go suggests to me that, at least on exam, Z showed some concern for other glenoid/labral problem…......hopefully not…

Dome was so angry about the final call last night

He said

I was so confident it was too high – I have to jump on every pitch if it was callled a strike.

so this might one of reason why he swing on some bad pitch tonight….

Maybe this was a bad matchup

since the Rays don’t walk anyone and we have been living via the base-clog.

Strikeouts

The Cubs seem to have a massive amount of them against the Rays’ pitchers. Is this because they’ve never faced them before?

Arthrogram

This is where dye is injected into the shoulder joint, capsule, etc., to better visualize the tendons, ligaments, and other structures in the shoulder when the MRI is performed. I would guess a google search can probably tell you more info as well.
