soul of baseball

Chapter 669
Today we analyze baseball from a medical/sports medicine perspective.

Due to the injury of the ulnar collateral ligament in the right elbow of the All-Star Golden Glove iron catcher Salvador Perez from the Kansas City Royals yesterday, he will undergo ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery next week. (TJ)

it's him!The one who got hurt carrying a suitcase before last year's season.

Here I will first introduce TJ surgery, Tonmmy John surgery, also known as ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery or TJ surgery.

The so-called TJ is the origin of Tommy John is the first pitcher to undergo this operation called Thomas Edward John Jr.

As the name implies, ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction and replacement does not repair the original ligament, but directly rebuilds and replaces one.

So where did this so-called 'replacement' come from?

This involves the 'donation' of one's own body and that of others. I'll explain why there are quotation marks later.

Reconstruction isn't about removing ligaments elsewhere in your body, it's about...

**Before this, draw a key point: remember! TJ surgery is not a panacea, and it is definitely not standard for any pitcher!
Fans should not comfort themselves, and parents of players should not take the initiative to take their children for this operation.

There are two main types of surgeries that parents take their children to: One is the player's TJ, which is simply sick!The other one is a piano player!It’s all crazy!How could they be willing to do this to their own children's bodies! )

God!Those kids were teenagers!
——Here is a digression, college scholarships and invitations do have a hard requirement for ball speed.

I don't know when it started, there are always those people who have been fooled will say that you are not qualified now! Be a TJ, and your ball speed will increase.

These are actually bullshit!The child is in the developmental stage, and the various pitching mechanisms are very imperfect, and he has not undergone the most suitable training for the individual. What is the current ball speed is completely uncertain.

After some surgery, the speed of the ball became faster. Maybe it's just that the child has grown up.

Are those big league players really long ball speed because of TJ?Go ask them, will they answer that you are, and only because of this!

The pianist is even more... Wang Wangwang himself is a small hand, but if he can span 22cm, he will brag to his friends.As a result, I personally witnessed a parent who brought his 16-year-old son over and asked if there was any way to let his son be in... As a result, his son could cross 23+! ! !

If this parent were from my family, they would definitely be scolded, they are all crazy!It's not enough to be crazy on yourself, you have to impose it on your children.

Of course, it is better to keep the body in original packaging, otherwise why would there be various safety recommendations? ——Breast augmentation with autologous fat?Pump here to make up for there?

Let the children's competition come a little later, a little softer, let them take it easy.

……

Re-enter the topic:

For example, straighten your arm, press down with the palm leading the wrist, can you feel a small bump at the junction of the two?
Straighten your arms, put your thumb and ring finger together, and see if there is a slight bulge in your wrist, which is also a place. (But not everyone has it, the author does not.)
Of course, this is just an example. If you want to obtain tendons for reconstruction, most people will choose to start with the fat buttocks.

(I have seen many reports that ligaments from other parts of the body are replaced. (⊙o⊙)...Are you serious? If you don’t understand it before writing the report. This will cause various misunderstandings among readers.)
Grafting end: Ulna, Humerus
Desirable location: Palmaris longus muscle and the U on several parts of the body, sorry I can't translate, I don't know the exact name in Chinese in medicine, it's misleading or better not to scribble.

But for athletes, the possibility of using the self...

It seems that if you want to **XX, you should use your buttocks.

Exosome: Corpse!
Emmm, don't be afraid, it may be better to treat it as a suture that the human body can absorb by itself.

Why do so many people stubbornly think that TJ's ball speed will be faster than before!Better ball control?

Think about it, the ligament is in a state of damage before the operation, and of course the data in all aspects has declined. You have replaced it with a new one that has not been worn out, is it okay?
But won't he be broken again?
Is it a simple thing to replace it when it breaks?
Maybe yes to the doctor, maybe yes to the family too!

One of them takes the knife and the other takes the money, and they pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!
Can it be used as a player to be operated on?

They are so difficult!The operation process was indifferent, but who could take his place in the painful and long rehabilitation process?

TJ's postoperative rehabilitation menu is very complicated, and specific parts need to be strengthened. During this period, if something goes wrong, he has to go backwards and start all over again.

Parents will say that the players in the major leagues are blabla, so can't their children suffer from this?
This is funny. Major league players have the most professional rehabilitation menu, diet and various data monitoring customized for their vacation after surgery.Arguably the best experts in baseball are all there!
And you?A kid who hasn't graduated high school, or even just started high school, what do you have?
How to compare?Why do you want to force?
——There was a kid from high school whose name was Pa or something I forgot, it was several winters ago.Often crying outside the gym late at night.

I felt strange at first and asked him what was wrong. He said he just wanted to cry.Then there is no way to ask.

After a long time, children, they will always be willing to communicate when they are in pain.

He said he hated doing the same thing every day.

I haven't seen this kid since. The gym owner said it was a winter machine. He just finished TJ three months ago and came here to do muscle strength.

What is this called.

Look at today's perez, the season is all reimbursed.

How important a full season is to a major league player!

Throughout Perez's career, he is definitely a strong iron catcher.

Everyone who watches football must have heard a lot of descriptions about catchers, such as being able to defend and attack, having a powerful stick, and having a better glove.

Perez is the gold glove, silver baton award and various additions.

But there are very few descriptions of the iron catcher. The position of the catcher is particularly tiring. Compared with other players, they need rest time to adjust and protect their bodies.

But there are two famous iron catchers in the major leagues, one is Yadier Molina of the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League, and the other is Perez of the Kansas City Royals of the American League.

What a coincidence to say it, the neighbor next door to Road Wars.

How strong is Molina's career? Since his debut in 04 and is about to usher in his 16th season, the number of squatting rounds is really scary.After hurting his egg and leg in the 18th season, there is no difference from other catchers from the book data.

Moreover, after the season, he also served as the head coach of the national team and participated in the Japan-US All-Star Match. He is the best player in the US team.

And perez too!He is the catcher with the most squatting innings and the most home runs in the American League in recent years.

The bodies of these two are as solid as iron, and injuries always seem to be able to survive them.

But from last year to this year, before the official regular season of the two seasons, Perez had problems.

I think injuries and illnesses are a kind of superposition pattern. Once, twice, three or four times, if there are too many, the body will definitely not be able to bear it.

I remember Perez getting hurt by the Royals' own catcher on a home return in the World Baseball Classic in early 2017, and it's been a problem since then.

***Pitching Amnesia***
Pitching amnesia is a very helpless ailment for baseball.

You don't know if it's due to physical reasons or psychological reasons, it's really because everyone is different.

It always happens suddenly, and it always happens to players who are experienced and skilled.

Recovery is difficult to say, not difficult to say.The former may no longer be able to stand on the mound and be forced to leave the highest hall of baseball.The latter may be the same as the sudden onset of symptoms.Inexplicably healed.

But according to the data, emergencies most often occur when extreme concentration is required.

For example, with the bases loaded, the hitter is the opponent's strongest gunner!

The number of balls is 3 bad and 0 good.

This kind of time requires the pitcher to be extremely focused. He has to throw a perfect quality ball, hit the base point, run the ball, and so on.

Maybe the fans on the sidelines are also waiting with bated breath, the pressure can make people explode.

At this time, the pitcher may suddenly not be able to pitch!
Amnesia is here too!

——Speaking of pitching amnesia, how can we not mention the strongest three sword style!
Rich Ankiel!

He is a guiding light for all players who are going through pain.

Anikel was selected by the Cardinals with a high pick in high school, and by the way took away the astonishing $250 million signing bonus at that time.

Various best awards are even softer.

In 2000, at the age of 20, he scored an amazing record of 11 wins and 7 losses in the major leagues.With a good mentality and stable ball control, almost everyone believes that this young man's future achievements will be incredible.

As a result, the pitching amnesia came out of nowhere!
Anikel has never been a person who will easily admit defeat, he fully cooperates with various methods of treatment.

It's a pity that four years later, he is still unable to overcome his illness.

But he doesn't want to leave the major leagues and the baseball he loves even more.

anikel chose to abandon the shot and fight!
Start again as a rookie in the field!

2000-2007 was a golden period for athletes, but Anikel worked hard during this period!

He's finally in the big leagues again!

Leaving the mound he loved and standing in the far outfield!
But so what, he still has perfect arm strength, although he can't make accurate shots from the mound into the strike zone.

But he was able to throw the ball straight into the catcher's mitt from the outfield.

I still remember the scene where the audience exclaimed!

08! Anikel even hit a 25-homer home run in a single season.

I remember a fan was crying and shouting: Do you know how difficult it is for him?He is the best pitcher!But he's an outfielder now!

Many people at the scene had red eyes. No one thought that anikel could come out!And can walk so well.

Everyone gave him a standing ovation and his return was a legend in itself.

Anikel announced his retirement in 14.

And then still working on baseball.

However, he resigned!
Years apart, he wants to get back into the big leagues!

Not the wide outfield, but the place where his earliest dreams were - the pitcher's mound!

It has been 20 years since the bonus, and the 39-year-old anikel still wants to erase the regrets in his career and pursue what he wants.

He said - I have nothing to lose, I will go all out!
***Baseball 5v5***

2: Bat: None, replace the bat with your hand.

3: Gloves: None, use hands instead of gloves.

4: Site: ideal site (square).

Base bag infield: 13M X 13M square (distance between classes), divided into home plate and 3 base bags, which is similar to baseball, but smaller and square.

Base pack outfield: fully surrounded infield 18M X 18M
5: Spacing between inner and outer field lines: 5M
6: Height of the outer field wall: 60-80CM (this is a promotional sport, the field does not need to be so standard, it doesn’t matter what the wall is or not.)
7: The inbound field is a 18M X 18M square field derived from the home plate. The rules in this respect refer to baseball.

8: Where to hit the ball: It is located in a square area of ​​3M X 3M outside the bounds (behind the home plate).

9: Player roster: 8 people. 5 people start.

10: Number of game rounds: 5 rounds.

15: The first base bag is the same as softball, two base bags inside and outside the line, safety first.

16: Leaving bases early or stealing bases is not allowed. (See softball rules.)
17: Intentional collision is prohibited.

***Today (Yesterday) Interesting Fact***
Anikel asked Waino if he still gambled.

(Waino has been the ace of the Cardinals for N years, and he can be regarded as the big brother. Because he has always been good at hitting, he encourages the younger generation of rookies to practice hitting hard. If they don’t hit well, they will lose money. Of course it was not a few years ago. Now.)
Waino said: Don't dare to bet, don't dare to bet.

(The Cardinals' pitchers have always hit very well, but it's a pity that they are facing a great player who can hit double digits in a single season.)
As a result, the little rookie who didn't know it ran over and said, "Gamble, bet!"

Waino just slapped him, and the rookie was still silly: "I hit really well. I started pitching last season, and I hit two hits. The first two hits in my major league career were all home runs!"

The smile is quite proud, this is to gamble!
Young people are so easy to fool, Waino is speechless as a song god!The little rookies like to be lively so much, they fly around buzzing and buzzing all day long.

The young people in the team are so weird.

hicks: love to cry.

gant: I like to pester people.

munoz: If you are stupid, you will be the first to rush up and stare when you have a dispute. The eyes are very round. I have never seen people with such round eyes.

flaherty: If you are a big boy, don't hug your teammates all day long under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, leaning on your head and other things, brat!
hudson: Don’t speak!All kinds of silence!Daily: o~emm~
Therefore, teams often find some old players who have degenerated to bring in new players who have a variety of reasonable experiences.

The relationship between respecting the elders and supporting the younger ones is always very important.

This is especially seen during spring training, taking the Cardinals for example.

The big brother Molina is always surrounded by blablablas by the catchers, tirelessly explaining the essentials of the movements over and over again.
