RE: MLB Player Health

I mean when you're watching the game you get all this stuff going on that can interfere with player health, this is why they're cleaning up the game, I mean you get this big time pitcher and as they head into their 30's they go through a psychical change and become much bigger and stronger.

During that, they may have to overcome injuries and rehab as well as deal with normal body changes as a professional athlete.

You can't have a guy of lesser contract sliding into first base trying to trip the pitcher.

Now these guys gotta think of their own health FIRST and then jump out of the way to protect the team's financial investment in the player.

One hit or several runs is no where near as important as an expensive players health.

I mean these guys are on a huge workout and supplement routine in top psychical condition, those pitches are worth money!

In a game with pitch count versus hitter batter velocity, one hundred pitches through six innings, that's a tough match for both players.

You can't be touching a player on the arm when he's out there psyched with his muscles all twitching and flexing, then the guy runs up behind him and taps him on the back and breaks hit stride and he starts freaking out because he's going to jump back not expecting it and break his ankle.

All the players moves and strides are practiced, don't break stride!

Always think of the company money and the value of the current play to the rest of the coming pitches and stuff, then "bail out" last minute on the tag if the lesser player tries to trip the player on the slide or something.

I would always abandon the play to avoid risking injury, because next year could have been the championship if you didn't break your ankle in the big game last year.

MLB workouts and supplements are all new now with new medicine and technology, stuff like Tommy John surgery not even exist in the future of science and medicine because the new MLB workouts will "rehab" the player before he starts to get past the Tommy John injury and new players coming up will already be past that point and will stop breaking their arm. 

That's because of new science and medicine, and each pitch is worth a lot of money now in the game.

The most important thing is everyone wants to see the new players and skills coming out with stuff like better hitters, new pitches and batting velocity statistics.

New stats in the future will probably include numbers like Pitch Count versus Batting Velocity Average, to match pitchers to player by batting velocity hitting average.

So how are we going to see all the new players and skills they are developing with their new medicine and workouts if the smaller players keep tripping the bigger ones on the base line.

I would say if your are a bigger MLB Player today and are trying to get the new skills going with the workouts and medicine, if someone grabs at you or touches you breaking your stride just step back and tell the umpire that the guy's breaking your stride, then he's give you a chance to walk it off before you reset.

Then be sure to remember the law is that a player can have extra medicine and official game banned supplements and drugs from the hospital program with their training team for rehab purposes during the game, like controlled substances for sports injury rehab.

These rehab drugs, normally banned during regular game play, help the player return to normal.

You can't have guys coming up and rushing the players during the game when they are pitching and hitting and some are rehabbing from injury, if that's you just tell the umpire during the game the guys breaking your stride during your rehab and their wasting company money when their pitching and hitting and he'll let you get a rest to restart and get your concentration back.
