September 29, 20215 yr Well, a small bummer but at this point “whatever”. It’s not as if we shouldn’t have expected this given the rest of 2021. But hey, at least it’s not an arm or shoulder issue! https://www.mlb.com/news/bailey-ober-to-miss-remainder-of-2021-twins-season
September 29, 20215 yr I feel like this is as much a innings limiter as anything. A bummer but you can’t be too cautious with a guy who has the injury history he has.
September 29, 20215 yr With 108 innings pitched this year, he was a big bright spot and he's had the best season I think he could have wished for. Good luck to him taking it easy and winding down after a great 2021!
September 29, 20215 yr This makes it harder to close out the season 3-2 over the last 5 games to avoid 90 loses.
September 29, 20215 yr I'm assuming this is mostly precautionary? I'll worry more if they announce that he needs surgery of some kind. He still hit a career high in innings, dating back to his freshman year in college. A good rookie campaign, and shutting it down one start early in this garbage fire of a season doesn't change that in my mind.
September 29, 20215 yr Just a guess... but I am pretty sure Ober's hip is just fine... He's just reached the innings/pitches limit they decided early in the season. Again, I think they (Twins, training staff, Ober) did a tremendous job of having a plan and executing it. Well done!
September 29, 20215 yr Is there any accountability to the medical staff for this and all the other injuries?

I think someone needs to have a talk with COVID, ruining an entire MiLB season and all. Really teach COVID a lesson.
