News: Pelfrey Has Tendonitis

April 15, 2009 at 7:43 am · 70 comments

by Jordan Zakarin

Mike Pelfrey has been pitching with forearm tendonitis, according to an on air report from ESPN.com’s Peter Gammons.

In his two starts this season, Pelfrey has a 8.10 ERA, having allowed nine runs on 13 hits in ten innings, He has surrendered three home runs, walked six and struck out five.

…i can’t decide if i’m more relieved that there is a reason for pelfrey’s poor start, or nervous that this could be a significant injury… let’s hope he can take the time to get healthy early in the season if need be, instead of letting it explode into a long term issue…

Read: Santana Talks to Perez

March 27, 2009 at 10:00 am · 99 comments

by Jordan Zakarin

Following his rough start on Wednesday, after which pitching coach Dan Warthen called him out of shape, Oliver Perez was given a stern talking to by fellow LHP Johan Santana.

Santana, speaking to MLB.com’s Marty Noble, said, “I talked to him. … He’s got to get into pitching again and get going. He knows that… He’s got to get his mechanics and his command.”

Perez acknowledged that he was behind schedule, blaming it on his having thrown less during the World Baseball Classic. According to Steve Popper at the Bergen Record, Perez said:

“I feel good. I feel healthy. Right now I’m just behind these guys. So I just have to on these days try to get back. I feel good. I feel stronger. So I just have to keep working in my bullpens and try to throw a lot more innings.”

…Perez was clearly defensive when asked about Warthen’s accusations, and you really don’t want a guy so dependant on his pitching coach to distrust him… hopefully he’s back to full strength soon and they put this whole thing behind them…
