Even if it?s cancelled, we should see him at some point this weekend. Good news!

[BeardoMSU]

That's awesome.

Even if it?s just the bullpen, getting Nate back would be monumental.

Maybe two short stints per weekend. Pico has shown he can give us a quality start in the third game

[EdwardDrayton]

Well that just dills my pickle!!

[State82]

Well I'll be!

Even if he just did two 8th innings per weekend, that's a great contribution

[Cowbell]

Yesterday would have been a good day to get him back out there

[msstate7]

Rpi be damn... I want us to play tomorrow now. Dohm should be given as many innings as he can take on before the ncaa tourney. He is a legit difference maker

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Our goal should be Pico continuing to develop and extending his pitch count. And Dohm able to give us a little help out of the pen. Keep the number of games to a minimum. That means stay out of regional losers bracket (you play fewer games in the winners bracket). Our pen is good if we don’t have to go deep.

[DownwardDawg]

This is great. I hope he's healthy. He could make a big difference in post season.

At this point I don't think we will trot him out there twice a weekend

The plan was always Tuesday. He wasn't on the travel roster.

I can imagine the meltdown if we put a recovering pitcher into a high leverage situation on the road against Arkansas if Dohm didn't have it.

[Coach34]

It looks like its starting to come together at the right time.

[Saltydog]

We need a closer. . . . .He's tough the first time thru a lineup. . . . . .

[somebodyshotmypaw]

If Dohm pitches tomorrow, he should easily be able to come back and start game 1 Thursday against Missouri and give us 8 innings **

[Quaoarsking]

The ideal scenario would be for him to pitch well tomorrow, then start a game in Hoover and pitch well, and then maybe pitch the first game of the regional we host against the 4, to save Stephen and Cijntje for games 2 and 3.

Well yeah!*******

Yep. Stephen and Loo can go 6-7 as is. Pico has taken over the third starter. By the time the regionals start he should be able to give us 6...maybe 7 if he is efficient.

Then we have Hardin and Davis at closer. They can give us 1-2 innings. Auger has become the relief ace. Schuelke can eat an inning here and there and is strong against RH hitters.

We'll see tomorrow what Dohm has. I'd like to get Siary and Black back on track too.

Nolan Stevens can be our mop up guy in a blowout situation.

When he is healthy. We'll find out tomorrow. I'm a little leery about how much Dohm can give us. I hope he surprises me.

[ScooterDog]

He may be healthy, but I fear he?s out of practice and may be rusty. I hope not, and can?t wait to see how he performs.

I'm more worried about Dohm's mental state than anything.

[CaptainObvious]

So his injury was to his forearm and not his elbow?

Correct

[StarkVegasSteve]

The ideal scenario is he's able to give you 3 tomorrow, 5 in Hoover, and then save him for the regionals and make him the closer if he looks good the other two. Pico would be the ideal starter for Game 1 of a regional if we could get a host spot.

[Cooterpoot]

We need Dohm in the pen ASAP! Hopefully it works out. He can be our flex starter/pen guy in post season if we need it too.

He's been throwing for a couple weeks

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Dohm can help us for sure. But we need to be careful with our expectations. Maybe Dohm will pitch twice on a weekend out of the pen as some suggest. Or maybe he will give us a 7 inning start each week. If one of those things happen, I would be ecstatic. However, that would be doubtful I think. More realistic at this point would be one appearance for 1-2 innings per week out of the pen. Or maybe 1 start each week for 4 innings. But in reality, if he's effective then anything we get from him is gravy.
