Why Are Pitchers So Easily Hurt?
Many pitchers have gotten hurt trying to run the bases or bat during interleague play with the latest being the Sox Clay Buchholz and I just don't get it; especially in the case of Buchholz who is younger than I am and by all accounts a good athlete. Why he can't run from first to second without hurting himself is beyond me. I know pulling a hammy can happen to anyone but it seems A.L. pitchers get injuries like that all the time in interleague games and it makes me dumbfounded that simple actions like swinging a bat or running the bases could lead to them getting hurt.
