If there are 3 words every woman wants to hear, there are also 3 words every A’s fan dreads and they are “Luzardo Shut Down”. However, before getting to the many negatives let me open with some silver linings.
First off, the hope and expectation appears to be that this is an injury from which Luzardo can recover with rest, rather than another in the string of “Tommy John surgeries/shoulder surgeries” that has been the fate of every single top A’s pitcher or prospect lately.
Also, if Luzardo was to have a setback best that it happen before he was added to the the big league club or 40-man roster.
