Elbow Gloom

Jake Peavy's elbow will force him to miss a start:

"It's not like a normal soreness. That's obviously the reason we're missing the start is because it's not normal," Peavy said before Sunday's interleague series finale in Seattle. "Your arm is sore all the time, but I do feel some of it in the elbow (and) that's always a cause for concern. We don't know how big, but it's always better to be safe than sorry."

Peavy has lost three of his last four decisions, but his noted sharpness with all his pitches has been absent. Peavy said that's in part due to his decision not to throw bullpens in between his start, hoping that throwing less would reduce the discomfort.

And it's not just one pitch. Peavy notices the issue in his elbow on every throw.

"It's to the point now where we need to take a step back," Padres' manager Bud Black said.

I don't really like the sound of this.

I thought I read something interesting about Peavy and his mechanics... turns out I did.

There's something to be said about sound mechanics.
