He was our best pitcher because he could come in and get 6 outs with a 97 mph fastball. That does not translate into a starter. Again, especially after CPM tried that at the CWS and he was clearly tired after 3-4 innings and only throwing 91

LSU picked up a transfer today: Clay Moffitt.


Dunn with a little hello to Atlanta:

Did you not watch him pitch in his few midweek starts this season? He had some very good outings.

the three that were clearly better are all gone for next year

Hess is the best pitcher left and he will start next year in Saturdays

The lowest FB we saw on the gun at the field was 93. And yes... that is Hess "tired" after throwing 4 games in 6 days.

And this would have prevented him from having to have surgery? You think if he wouldn't have pitched that the ligament would have just fixed itself??


And you think it was a good idea for him to pitch with torn ligaments? Do you think pitching helped his ligaments or just maybe increased the severity of the tears.

Are you saying he pitched knowing he had torn ligaments?

I believe what was reported was that he felt soreness one outing, then didn't feel it the next. He threw before the CWS and felt soreness in his forearm after pitching, then felt fine a few days later. He also felt fine through 2 innings in the CWS.

If he would have had torn ligaments then he wouldn't have been pitching at all, whether he wanted to or not. You don't throw a baseball 90 mph with a torn ligament in your elbow.

Do you suggest we scan everyone with arm soreness

Christ, pitchers have arm issues. Trainers assess them and we move on.

People here were bitching he may have too much rest. Obviously posters here have zero insight to when his issues developed

I was in the camp of letting him rest in the regional just like Atlanta. I thought he could use it. It was obviously the plan in the SECT since we didn't start him in either "must win" game. I was fine with him "resting" because I knew he'd still be pitching in simulated games. But I thought it would help keep him fresh.

In no way is that decision related to his current injury. He still would have thrown. He still would have eventually tore the ligament. People who think otherwise (Atlanta) are really dumb.
