Oh well. He'll be back in May 2015.

No no no no no no no no

Why am I not shocked. It's like an epidemic this year; young pitchers needing Tommy John.

[emkayseven]

Marlins need to Matt Moore him now

[Fritz]

I blame this on Chris Volstad.

It's funny that no one's figured out how this team works yet. It'll be Hand in the rotation, and they'll go with Rodriguez and Jennings in the pen.

Not confirmed but hear that #Marlins may be calling up reliever DJennings today or Wed. (re: J. Fernandez). Could be Slowey start Wed?

I believe you call that a Bingo.

[BigGameFish]

Wtf

[kusch]

I just don't get it. Slowey sucks and hand is even worst

[Bobbob1313]

right elbow strain, won't know full extent until he gets back to Miami for further evaluation

Redmond calling it a right elbow sprain so that's just not good.

I'd say Slowey makes the most sense. He's the throw into the fire guy.

If Flynn was pitching a little better he'd be a no brainer guy to call up, but we need all the bullpen help we can and Slowey can give us a mediocre starts for a little while until Super 2 passes and Heaney gets called up.

It's a sad day. Lets all hope it isn't TOO serious.

[Bobbob1313]

At least if it's worst case tommy john, it's early enough in the season for him to be back for Opening Day next year of what could (Should? Maybe) be a contending team.

Eh, that'd still be an absolute best-case scenario. The vast majority of TJ recoveries are going on 12-month timelines now, from what I've seen. Very few teams are being super aggressive with it.

more proof that pitch counts don't mean shit

Even JJ was a year.

This is terrible, no good, very bad analysis.
