The Dodgers Hurt Their Pitchers

     News came out yesterday that yet another Dodgers pitcher has now made it to the injured list.

"Roki Sasaki (shoulder) has stopped throwing and has no timeline for when he'll resume"

    It's time we discuss the fact that the Dodgers continue to injure their pitchers somehow. According to ESPN, the Dodgers have had 17 pitchers injured this year. It's not just this year, it's bad trend that has continued without being noticed by most fans.

    I personally blame the Dodgers' pitching coaches and not the trainers. The Dodgers pride themselves in taking pitching projects or older veterans and "saving them" and reviving their careers. Off of the top of my head, it worked with Shelby Miller and Lance Lynn, but those are the only two that I know of that had worked. 

    If you're trying to count the number of pitchers where it doesn't work and they get injured, there's too many to count. If you want to keep the trend of former Cardinals, Alex Reyes hasn't gotten to throw one pitch for them. The real example though is all of the notable pitchers that they injured this year:

Luis Garcia

Emmet Sheehan

Blake Snell

Roki Sasaki

Blake Treinen

Tyler Glasnow

Tony Gonsolin

Brusdar Graterol

Giovanny Gallegos

    

    Something is going on with the Dodgers pitching coaching. What are they even doing? Are they teaching them a certain way to pitch that's destroying arms? Are they just unlucky? Only time will tell. One things for sure, it will be quite a shame if they never win a title while they have all these deferred payments. The Dodgers better hurry and win now, because the world will celebrate in a 10 years when they are terrible due to them having to play a bunch of retired players millions of dollars.
