I guess Watson's labrum is OK**

Decision by Cohen to throw the kid, that is the way you ruin careers. No way that kid should have been allowed back on the mound this year, if he was half as injured as was reported.

Just another questionable move in Cohens handling of the pitching staff, goes right along with him questioning through the media whether Routt was actually hurt.

Hacksaw wanted to do surgery. Dr. Andrew's told him to rest it.

I'll go with Dr. Andrew's on this one.

I do wonder what his velocity was.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

80-82 or so. His velo has dropped significantly from earlier in the year.

then I will agree with Brasky.

 

[Coach34]

without clearance from his Dr and the kid's go-ahead....if he went to UAB and they told him to rest and then resume throwing, then he will be ok- they know their ****

you really dont know much about baseball do you, if you dont think that the coach can get a kid cleared you are crazy, and you know watson was probably pushing to get cleared. If he was actually throwing 80-82 then something is wrong and it was a horrible decision to let him get back out there, he probably could throw that hard when he was a freshman in high school, doesnt sound good.

that's why I'm agreeing with you.

The season is lost, just let him rest, use him for a season that actually counts.

 

[bill brasky.sixpack]

That is exactly what they need to do, the kid has too bright a future to ruin on a season that is already lost

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

this might be a shock to some people, but pitchers don't throw 100% all of the time. With him coming off of an arm injury, it is reasonable that he was throwing at about 85% today. His velo and movement didn't look good. I think he'll be fine in time. No need pushing him now. The season is gone.

 

[bill brasky.sixpack]

this may come as a shock to you, but if you are pumping upper 80's to low 90's normally, then you never throw 80-82 consistently unless something is wrong, just letting you know

it's certainly something to watch, though.

 

[Coach34]

i'll defer to you and your never-ending baseball knowledge

But, if he is cleared to pitch by UAB, he wants to pitch, and his family is ok with him pitching- then he should pitch

 

[bill brasky.sixpack]

my immense baseball knowledge Coach, as I am sure it pains you to defer to someone</p>

 

[Coach34]

that maybe Cohen and Thompson told him not to get out there and let it go today since its his 1st outing in awhile? Just work on location and move the ball around and make it a live bullpen session?

 

[bill brasky.sixpack]

No because I think they are trying to win games, that is why they schedule SWAC teams for that sort of stuff, not in the final game of the series against Ole Miss trying to avoid a sweep, do they put a kid out there and tell him to work on movement for a live bullpen session, when you are trying to avoid your second straight SEC sweep. And if they did tell him that then they need to be fired right now.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

We were down like 10 or so when Watson came in. Our chance of winning was basically gone. They wanted him to throw live, eat an inning up and evaluate his stuff.

C34 bitching about someone else acting EXACTLY like he does during every other sport's season is hilarious.
