Good news? Brock Purdy is out of the elbow brace he was wearing on his surgically repaired elbow.
In listening to the reports about his elbow surgery though, John Lynch said Purdy should be fully ready to go by training camp.
Kyle Shanahan said it’s possible Purdy won’t be ready till week 4.
Purdy himself dropped this bomb, saying he’s “not really sure” if he will be ready to play in 2023.
Someone’s story is way off here, but I’m sure this is yet another attempt by Click-Bait Cohn to stir the shit, but Purdy DID say it. Does it really mean anything? Probably not.
Best case scenario is training camp. A longer recovery would be somewhere between week 2 and week 6. Missing the whole season? Doubtful. But who knows? These kinds of surgeries have been successful for pitchers for decades, and some have even gone through the process twice.
That being said, only Mike Clevinger has been even remotely effective as a pitcher after the 2nd TJ surgery. But most of the other guys were on the far side of 30 anyway. But the impetus here being, Purdy had better be fully functional by the time he gets back on the field. Whether training camp, or week 14, or 2024.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Purdy is young and strong and should be able to fully recover from this. The timeframe IS the main issue, but as I said, he likely will be on the field by week 4 at the latest, I’d think.

I just checked the MLB standings. I don’t watch baseball anymore because I can’t stand Gabe Kapler. We are 5-9. That is better than I thought we would be under Kapler’s leadership! Go Giants!
Yeah, Kapler shouldn’t have hung that slider.
So, we have you on record as a Kapler fan?
Given the shitty roster, I think the problems with the team fall on Farhan’s shoulders. Not crazy about a lot of Kapler’s pitching moves but it’s not like he has Robb Nen in the bullpen and Jack Clark on the bench. The team is full of middling players and we’ve already lost 5 guys to injury.
I mean, look at the talent level of the Dodgers and Padres. The farm systems in the last 5 years compared to Farhan’s 5 years are dramatically better. I think Kapler has done a decent job with the shitty cards he has to play with.
Kapler reminds me of all of the sales managers I never liked working for. I have almost always been the #1 salesperson my whole life, these managers would hinder my sales and contribute almost nothing to my success.

I’m glad Kapler didn’t hang any sliders today. We finally won a game!
We signed Conley the WR from the Titens and Jennings signed a one year contract so it was a pretty good day.
I hope the Gmen can get it together. If not just start brining up the kids fuck it.
Kerry Hyder signed as well. A good solid guy. Baseball season looks like it’s gonna be done early.
Yeah, he’s played good for us.
Huh. Jalen Hurts signs a 5 year, $255 million extension.
It’s good ta be the quarterback.
Chuck, the big question is will Purdy be able to do what he did before the injury? Same accuracy, same zip on the ball.

Kevin- I don’t think they would seriously consider trading Lance right now. They are going to have to spend the big bucks on Bosa, Aiyuk, Greenlaw, and probably CMC. I know there is more but can’t think of em right now.
I think they would be foolish to trade him now, what if he does what Purdy did last year. A lot of speculation but no real answers yet. So keep him
