So I was feeling nostalgic and I started watching game 1 of the 2015 World Series. There was a really interesting infographic the broadcast team put up about Matt Harvey’s comeback from TJ surgery. His agent Scott Boras tried to place an innings limit, which Harvey or the Mets organization gave the middle finger to,, and Harvey himself said (demanded?) he’d pitch in the post season against Boras’ wishes. 5/6 years later he’s toiling in the minor league/fringe major league.
I just thought that was interesting. Curious what the smarter people in this thread (which is basically everyone) thinks about that. |

Harvey is a great case for why you don’t blow the arm out too much in the first year back. He developed shoulder and thoracic outlet issues, which I suspect trace back to his workload that year. He lost some of his arm speed, and he was a “blow you away with stuff” guy. Never has adjusted to having less dominant stuff. |

TV schedule
The Royals and Bally Sports Kansas City (rebranding from FOX Sports Kansas City) announced a 161-game regular-season television schedule for 2021. The only Royals game that won’t air on Bally Sports Kansas City is June 26 against the Texas Rangers, which will be broadcast on FS1. The 30-minute pregame show “Price Chopper Royals Live” will precede each game on Bally Sports Kansas City, while the “Boulevard Royals Live” postgame show will follow every game. Ryan Lefebvre, in his 23rd season, will call the majority of the regular-season games for Bally Sports Kansas City, and Steve Physioc will provide the play-by-play on the remaining games. Rex Hudler will return for his 10th season as analyst, and Royals Hall of Famer Jeff Montgomery will provide analysis throughout the season on “Royals Live” with host Joel Goldberg. |

If it turns out to be as good as it appears it could be, if our pitching is anything mediocre to good, we can compete and challenge for a playoff spot. But as I said, many if's, Will Merrifield continue to perform, Benintendi refind himself, Santana return to his Indians performances, Soler cut down on SO's and continue to drive the ball, same with Perez, can he build off last years performance, Alalberto continue to improve, Dozier play like 2019, Taylor be consistent as years past and Witt Jr, continue a hot ST? If the bench can fill in, the pitching? A lot of upside to this team. Plus the farm teams are getting some good young talent again! All promising! |

They're still playing as the Cleveland Indians in 2021. Go look at the MLB At-Bat App. They still have the Indians nickname, Indians logo in cursive lettering, all the branding.

Arizona's Merrill Kelly posted a 2.59 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 87 DRA- through five starts last year after toiling in Korea for many years, and then boom, his feel-good story gets taken underneath him by thoracic outlet syndrome. |

Bally Sports has purchased the Regional Fox Sports Networks. I'm still hearing they're going to offer the games directly through their new app that is supposed to go live March 31st. I think the app will be called Bally Sports. Supposedly, you will be able to subscribe to the local network without having to have a subscription to a cable or dish network. Hopefully.
