I haven’t heard anything concrete but I don’t think it’s good
Spoke to his dad last night and they did not know much other than tightness. At the time, and I stress that, they did not believe it was UCL.
BOK said last night on the postgame show that he stiifend up when he went out in the 5, couldn't get loose and they took him out as a precaution and will check him out today/ Didn't say what part but when someone says stiffend to me that means back area.
Someone on Genespage said he was cramping up. If that is true then that is good news in my opinion.
And I will add that Ryan has had Tommy John before so he is probably familiar with symptoms of that and things like that.Quote:

I don’t know enough about the different injuries and how they present, but I guess best case scenario is that he strained something in his forearm. I’m sure that nerve would cause issues with the forearm though.
Dang, didn't realize he's had it before... if it is #2, he could be doneQuote:

Something I hope Parker tells him is that a collegiate starter is not supposed to be max effort for 7 to 8 innings. He can do that in MLB while getting paid 7 to 9 million per season. In college we are good with easy 96 with his great movement and life. No need for 99 like he did last night. MLB knows a big frame dude like him can add 3 MPH at will.
I'd be surprised if it's a UCL tear based on the fact he had the surgery not that long ago and he didn't really react like it was a UCL tear.
That injury usually leads to a pretty immediate reaction. He was shaking his arm for a few innings while he continued to throw (and throw well). Which indicates the tightness like what's been reported.
He'll be shut down for a few weeks & slowly ramped back up if I had to guess.
I'm on the hopeful side with everybody else. Tightness in the forearm could be anything from dehydration to just needing a little break. Hopefully its temporary and we will get him back soon
He winced in the 4th late in the inning but threw a few more pitches to get out of the inning. He came out in the 5th and threw one warmup pitch and started shaking his arm. The shaking is never a good sign. That's something you see a lot with UCL injuries. I think the longer it takes for us to hear something the worse it is. If it's nothing major we should be hearing reports that he's o.k. and that it was just precautionary, etc. If this stays mum for a few days it's probably not going to be good.Quote:

There's alot of forearm talk which is encouraging
This is something to feel good about. Let's rest him a bit and calm him down. This dude is a competitor. In the Arkansas game, when the He-Man kid took him deep, McP looked like he was going to kill someone. McP cares about winning and his performance.Quote:

In other words, we will know whether our season is ruined before next FridayQuote:

If that's true, we dodged a bullet.
I'll take that all day.
6 weeks is better than out indefinitely or the remainder of the year but it's also 6 SEC starts. If that's the case he would come back with two weeks left in league play. Plus, he'd probably be limited upon return. It's not devastating news if true but it's not great news either.
Who now starts friday night at the school up north?
TicoQuote:

Correct take. First one I've seen who gets it. He's not just coming back and being full strength whenever he gets back. We are about to play a gauntlet, 8 more weeks wo, or a very limited version of our Friday night guy. It sucks. Our odds of hosting a super went straight to hell in one fast swoop in the top of the fifth Friday.Quote:

That’s rough no matter what. Gotta do what you gotta do though. We’ll see if we are the real deal
McP resting for 3 weeks is an outcome the season can survive. Just part of the game and having a maximized warhorse like McP.
The Ole Miss series in Oxford will have to be:
F- Valincius
S- Stone
S- Pitz (cape cod POY)
No crying in baseball. BOC will need the good Sweeney and the good Ben Davis in Oxford.
This where coaching comes in.
Do you go with Sumbitch? Young and talented but hasnt been extended at all this year.
Davis? Veteran that has started and relieved.
Does Foster get another shot?
Someone else?
Also- do you move Stone up to Saturday or keep him on Sunday? That's another big decision. Tico to Friday is obvious- even Tater could make that call
Tico and McPherson are 2 sides of the same coin; both are aces. If it weren’t for the Alabama kid throwing a no hitter, Tico would probably be SEC pitcher of the week 2 weeks straight. We aren’t hurt as far as Fridays go, but everything after that takes a huge hit. Teams that win it all generally have 2 stud starters; we had that part of the puzzle but just lost it. Every aspect of our game has to take it up a notch or two to make up for losing McPherson. SucksQuote:
