Fernando Rodney

Subject: Re: Fernando Rodney Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:38 pm

DENNY BAUTISTA, FRANCIS BELTRAN, JASON GRILLI, AQUILINO LOPEZ, ZACH MINER, and BOBBY SEAY have still done well. The others have suffered due to our "great" pitching coaches having the guys learn different things or change the way they pitch. Of course this messes them up.

If you look at ther stats, they started out ok, and have started allowing runs while they work on their pitches. I just hope they hone in on their new skills when the season begins.

yes i am a tigers fan. but that doesnt mean you have to like every player on the team. not a fan of most of the pitching and the catching.

Rodney to see specialist for shoulder
By JOHN LOWE • FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER • April 14, 2008

Tigers right-hander Fernando Rodney will have his still-ailing shoulder examined by Dr. James Andrews, the most famous physician for treating pitchers with arm and shoulder ailments.

Andrews has operated on many pitchers. Will Rodney need surgery? That won’t be known until sometime after Andrews examines Rodney. The exam is set for Wednesday, Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said today.

Rand said the club decided to send Rodney to see Dr. Andrews after Rodney had another setback today in his attempt to come back from the shoulder trouble that has caused him to miss all of spring training and the regular season to this point.

“Fernando threw another side session today (in Florida), but he still isn’t able to get over the hump,” Rand said. “He still isn’t able to extend and get out there and finish.

“So he’s going to go see Dr. Andrews on Wednesday. Then we’ll wait to hear from Dr. Andrews.”

The club has proceeded cautiously with Rodney’s rehabilitation efforts. He has remained at the club’s spring-training home in Lakeland, Fla., and has thrown several times in the last few weeks - sometimes with progress, other times with little or no progress.

Exams of Rodney’s ailing shoulder have shown no major damage.

“We’ve gone the conservative route from the medication standpoint and trying to build up his arm strength,” Rand said. “He hasn’t been able to carry that over to the mound at this point. So it’s time to have him re-examined.”

(IMHO, this should've been done last fall!!!!)

Truthfully, I don't like Rodney. I think he's got a bad attitude and I can't stand the way he wears his hat. I am a straight hat kind of girl.
I have been known (after I've had some liquid courage) to tell a guy or two to straighten their hat.
Have respect for the team, the sport and the uniform.

I know alot of people think its crazy, but then again...

He could wear his hat like a rally cap if he would be extremely dominant on the mound. HAHA

Bad parenting. Children repeat what or what not they are taught.

Stupid parents leads to stupid children. It isn't rocket science.

we all have our stories...
I remember the talk we got about "if you get spanked at school, you're getting it twice as hard when you get home!"

Geez, you can't even touch a kid nowadays at school, no hugs, nothin'....

Now in days, too many perverts. Then again, thinking back, we had our share of pervert teachers! I had one who had a wooden paddle and used it mainly to spank girls in short skirts! He always had them bend over before spanking them!. I was so happy when he was fired!

But overall, it is worse today and the kids that just need a warm human hug suffer the most!

Have there been any updates on where Rodney is headed with his arm?
I'm beginning to fear he is done for good. (I don't like him all that much but I would hate to see his career ended.)

Subject: Re: Fernando Rodney Fri May 09, 2008 7:21 am

I read that he had been doing throws but nothing for certain on when he'll return.
