Tulane Thread - Make sick bats well, Jobu.

Best case Landon is out til April. So you have to start figuring out a rotation without him. I either go:

Preston
Cade
Pico

Or

Cade
Preston
Pico

Too soon for me. I’m still praying for a miracle.

So I have been out camping with my family and I just now saw Sims after a friend sent me the video. You can tell by his face that his release was effected and painful. Started shaking his arm out, if he can’t do the milking and tenal moves then he should have been on ice and strapped. No way he was sitting there unwrapped if it was a true tear. As I said I didn’t watch the rest of the game but initially it does present like UCL and if so he is done for the year regardless of surgery because of draft risk.

My main question is was his tenal and milk test good and if so then it could very well have been a strain or even a partial dislocation of wrist. You will be surprised how many wrist injuries are masked as elbow injuries.

A miracle is he is only out til April.

Wrist is just as bad as elbow folks. The injury is on his throwing arm. Again best case scenario he is out til April. We have to figure out life without Landon and be honest with ourselves, we are talented enough to piece this together. Cade Smith has a higher ceiling than Landon and Pico, in the flashes he has shown, is electric.

Hate it for Lando! Terrible, just terrible!
Pico's not ready for SEC hitters! They will layoff that breaking ball and sit on his very ordinary fastball! He's got to get stronger!

I realize it was Tulane and end of a 19-2 blowout, but I thought Drew Talley looked sharp.

Talley looked good and in command as did Brandon Smith. And someone with apparently the baseball knowledge of Chris Lemonis, why in the sam hell do we keep running Tullar out there?!?! He is god awful

[The Federalist Engineer]

The Bulldog family and fan nation want the best for Landon. He always goes all out for MSU like a warrior. If he needs to rest the arm for a spell, that's baseball. With Sims resting, other guys get an opportunity to step up and Landon stays on track for his MLB future.

I'm glad we have coaches that will prioritize doing the best for the player.

If we're going to use Tullar I'm fine with it being a 19-2 game. That said, it brought back memories of the time we blew a huge lead to La Tech.

[Todd4State]

Bad sign with sims was he was shaking his hand immediately after he threw the pitch like it was numb which is a bad sign of ucl tear. I hope it's not but I've seen it to many times when pitchers react that way. Let's hope it's just a tweak but I doubt it.

I was at the game and I thought I saw blood on his hand. I could be way off. And like I said the rumor at the game was a blister.

[Todd4State]

No doubt. Sometimes I think 7 is right; our sports programs seem cursed.

Maybe because don?t think my soul has ever fully recovered from Greg Elena.

My soul recovered from Greg Elena when we beat Vanderbilt to win the National Championship.

Man if it's just a blister that would be awesome. But watching him cover his face with his Jersey and bent over with his head in his hands in the dugout looked way worse than a blister. I sure hope you're right about the blister though, that would be a huge break!

I don’t think it’s a blister. I’m sitting here rewatching the game cause I fell asleep and if it would have been a blister, he wouldn’t have been shaking his arm. Something tweaked the pitch before. He walked off the back of the mound and tossed the ball up. He knew it then. Landon never breaks rythm. He goes and goes quickly. He threw a pitch, got the ball back, stepped off, walked around the mound and tossed the ball up. On that pitch he missed badly low and inside. The next pitch was the one he walked off the mound. I hate to say it, but that wasn’t a blister…

On a side note, I’m really impressed with Hines and even Seibert. We have to keep Both of them in the line up somehow. I really liked the line up tonight I just wish we could get Alford into it somehow.

Now if we have to replace Landon on Friday, I would move Johnson to Fri, Cade to Sat, and then look at starting Walker on Sunday. I really wish the kid from OSU would get his shit together. That would fill that hole. If we wanna be a power every year, it’s next man up. I hate to be that way, but that’s what big time programs do. Injury’s happen, time for someone to step up and fill the hole, albeit and HUGE hole to loose prolly the top pitcher in college baseball, but it is what it is…

Very happy for Kellum Clark by the way. Tonight is the kind of night that makes a kid right the ship. Yeager is turning it on, Clark hit the ball hard, Hines, Seibert, hell you name it… and it ain’t like we did it against a nobody. Tulane is pretty damn good. The took 2/3 from LA Tech. La Tech is damn good…

Yeah I agree. I posted earlier that when you shake your hand and arm like that it's because your arm feels numb or tingles, bad sign of a ucl problem. I'm just hoping that it's something minor but I doubt it.

[OLJWales]

Shit.

The answer on Tullar is very easy. We need pitching depth. It’s possible that we have already lost Hunt and Sims from our staff. Our coaches are trying to develop pitchers. And Tullar is important because he’s left handed. So when you have a big lead, it’s a great time to put him out there. The coaches would love to develop Tullar (and all of our pitchers) into dependable guys who can help us in close games. It’s a process.

Yeah. Sounds like the people sitting around me were wrong based on Lemonis's comments. Unfortunately.
