With the depth, shouldn’t feel it too hard. Can’t have to many of these though

New surgery is called an Internal brace UCL surgery


My son was one of the first to have this done by Dr. Dugas who invented the procedure. The surgery is only for partially torn UCL’s. If it’s completely torn it’s traditional TJ surgery.

My son had the D.U.C.T. Procedure the first week of July and played SS the following season and returned to pitching that summer.

It can be a fast recovery but it’s only for partial tears.

So many things have to line up right for a team to make a run to Omaha. This is not a great start to the season, however we have the dudes. They will just need to step up.

A starting rotation of Shores Taylor and Noot next year will be damn strong.

He was never a projected starter, rather closer. Dont know why Kendall reported it that way

He was in the hunt at the beginning of Fall but it seemed he may be a better late inning guy on this team. Big loss. He made a pretty good jump from last year. I know we have depth but I had high hopes for Taylor as the closer.

Yeah I think he would be a starter in 24 but from my understanding he was still working on his pitch mix a bit to get a rotation spot.

He was definitely the top guy for closer it seemed this year

Is there any chance Coleman will be able to throw this year? We could really use another experienced arm.

You sound smart. I guess Ark losing Wiggins this week was his fault too.

Yeah. Great guy. He’s seen a ton of pro athletes. He did a great job for my son. He misses a full season if not for that procedure.

Glad they didn't wait 3 weeks as originally rumored. Get to work on how you want the pitching to look without him, and get him fixed up and on the road to recovery for next season.

It will be the same surgeon that did Coleman. Colemans' recovery went really well according to Jay.

Taylor also told Jay he plans to return next year. I'm not sure if that would have been the case if he would have pitched this year.

Noot, Shores, Hurd and Taylor. We three top lefties in our 2023 recruiting class and a decent chance to get two out of the three.

I also think we will have pick of the litter in the portal next year. If you were a top pitcher would you want Wes and Jay as your coaches and to play for LSU? Hell yeah, you would.

I do find it ironic that kendall broke this news and also was the one who picked taylor on his fantasy podcast that came out yesterday morning
