Henderson Alvarez is having a MRI on his right elbow, according to sources. Would be major blow to #marlins if damage is found.

And we are screwed if he's hurt

Oh come on

disaster

His fastball velocity was down 3 MPH from last year in his first start. Haven't been able to find data for this start, though.

This season is unraveling pretty quickly. Kind of excited to see the returns we get for Morse and Cishek and Haren in July.

[Bobbob1313]

At least they still have Nicolino...

Should've known this season would be a failure when it fucking rained on everyone during Opening Day.

At least in 2012 it took two months before it all went to shit.

[Namaste]

It might as well have been shit falling from the sky on Opening Day.

So Chris O'Leary, who writes about pitching injuries and the issues with bad mechanics leading to them, had tweeted some interesting stuff today regarding the Marlins. He had mentioned in the past regarding issues with Jose Fernandez and Herderson Alvarez regarding their mechanics and the potential for injury issues. He now has mentioned Jarred Cosart as someone who is bound to see an injury sooner rather than later.

I really doubt the Marlins are seeking out bad mechanics guy. More likely a "No fear of bad mechanics" approach. How's that working out?

Chris O'Leary @thepainguy

I've used pitching rotation as investment portfolio analogy before. u'r not gonna make any money w/out risk. But Marlins are all junk bonds.

Here is a tweet he sent with screen shots of tweets he sent earlier this week and month about Alvarez having a potential problem:

Are you not Entertained?!

(..get it?)

[BigGameFish]

Newest report is that there is greater concern for shoulder than elbow.

[Bobbob1313]

Not particularly surprising, given that he had shoulder issues in each of the previous two seasons.
