The Real McCoy: Harang to undergo MRI

McCoy has no problem seeing…the future.

Ah, we all knew it, didn’t we?

Aaron Harang returned to Cincinnati on Wednesday and will have an MRI on his right forearm, the forearm that he said didn’t bother him when he walked seven Cubs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday, the forearm that caused him to miss his turn Saturday against the Washington Nationals.

Prediction, here? Hate to be a predictor of gloom, but could it be Tommy John ligament replacement surgery in his immediate future. An MRI today will determine exactly what it is.

I’m no doctor, but it’s past history. Remember when Ryan Dempster pitched for the Reds and was so bad fans called him Ryan Dumpster? Well, when he was with the Reds he lost command of his pitches - just like Harang - because of forearm tightness. He ended up with Tommy John.

Harang looked worse than I've ever seen him last night. I hope it's something that can be solved by a 15 day DL stint rather than something like Tommy John surgery.

He was left in for way to long, too, to make sure that the damage got as bad as possible. Perhaps we can soon add him to the Dusty list.

As SouthSideRyan pointed out, Harang's been terrible since Baker had him throw 63 (!) pitches in relief on three days rest, and started again 3 days later.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Harang needs a massage from Zatoichi much more than a diagnosis from McCoy.
