Dohm Injury

[KOdawg1]

He's probably fine.

[maroonmania]

Hope he's fine, but injuries happen. This isn't football where you pull the starters in a blowout.

We've been lucky so far to not have any pitcher injuries. Eventually the luck will run out, no coach should get the blame for it unless it's a truly ridiculous situation like throwing a reliever the day after they threw 50. 103 pitches on a reasonably warm night after a several starts ain't it

I wouldn't say we are lucky. Loftin and Ligon definitely aren't right and Simmoms may never pitch again.

THIS

UCL is a fraying of the ligament injury- not a popping at once suddenly.

At least 2 other people on here get it!

Make that three! (Raises hand)

UCL injuries are not like car accidents where you get into one and you break a bunch of bones and have trauma which were obviously caused by a car accident. It's a repetitive motion injury that comes from throwing hard since childhood. God didn't make us to be able to throw a baseball 100 MPH.

If he's out we're probably going to have to put Siary in the rotation. But I'd be fine rolling the dice on Nolan Stevens or Luke Dotson. Holcombe struggling is really hurting us right now. I'm guessing we'll see Loftin pitch some in Biloxi but we'll see. Ligon looks better to me than Holcombe did but he has to be able to get more than two batters out to pitch in the rotation.

[Todd4State]

If he has a bad injury it would have happened tomorrow. He might be done. He might not be. Had the same thing last year. I'll wait and see

Also happened to Tink Hence for the Cardinals in the minors and Loo a few weeks ago. And all were OK.

Siary isn't a rotation guy. He can help us but not as a starter.

[Todd4State]

I agree. But what other choice do we have right now? The longest Stevens has gone is what? 2-3 innings? And Dotson has only been throwing 1 maybe 2 innings at a time.

So any way we do it we're essentially looking at an opener situation. Which we could probably pull off with our bullpen.

Right on, Todd! So many people think it just all of a sudden pops but that's not the way it works. It's like stretching a rubber band over and over and over til it finally snaps.

Yeah it's because you hear about Kirk Presley throwing 150 pitches in the state championship game in high school or something and then he has a UCL tear and then people point back to that one moment to explain it. Not that I would recommend throwing that many pitches but it's not likely that ONE game that did it.

A rubber band is a good way to put it. Ligaments don't have a ton of elasticity in them. And then in the elbow they're relatively small. But that's where a lot of the stress goes.

What ever happened to Presley? Haven't heard that name in a while.

[Cooterpoot]

Dohm isn't hurt

[Todd4State]

What ever happened to Presley? Haven't heard that name in a while.

I know he was the GM of the Tupelo American Legion team last I heard.

[Saltydog]

He's still in the Tupelo area. Does a lot of private lessons, etc.

Why is Simmons still on the roster? He is taking up a roster spot of someone that may could have helped.

It’s amazing. I didn’t realize that ucl was the only injury the arm can sustain. Thanks for notifying us though. Geez. Show me anywhere where I even said anything about a ucl injury?

Some just don’t like to be wrong. LOL

He was expected to pitch this season but had a set back.
