At some point we’re gonna have to stop abusing these pitcher’s arms...
OT: Boogs Not Mens Softball

That two innings he threw this year was way too much.
And it is official, Tommy John surgery for Davis Daniel

This would make it pretty likely for him to come back right? Has he redshirted? Can he get a medical redshirt?

He’ll be trying to make up all the money he left on the table last year as soon as he can I’d guess.
Unless he gets drafted in a similar position, making up that money takes a long time in baseball.
Tommy John surgery usually takes a year or longer to recover. I would be skeptical about him being ready to pitch next year
Correct. And he won’t get drafted as high again. That’s why I’d expect him to start working towards that money as soon as he can.
@DufnerFanBoy sounds like you had heard some of the same things. Started hearing about a month ago that his arm was in terrible shape
Yeah, several people had hinted that things weren’t as good as being reported back a month or so ago.
Not sure how the NCAA would handle this. They could give him a RS this year and a medical next year. But I doubt Davis goes that route. I think he’s probably goes undrafted this year and tries to get ready for next year’s draft to see if he can be a late round pick next year and just get on with a team. The talent is there, and someone will take a chance on him.
It’s not unprecedented for a player to be drafted right after a TJ injury and surgery. South Carolina had a pitcher have TJ surgery in 2017 and was still a first round pick that year. But it’s more difficult for Daniel being an 11th round guy last year having to deal with that.
Ryan Watson getting the start tomorrow. I don't hate it. Really need to score some runs and win this game.
Sounds like yall understand this better than me. I guess the logic makes sense. In my eyes coming back and showing you still have it would lead to money far quicker than going the get paid very little and earn you way to big bucks route.
Since this is his third year and he'd likely not be able to pitch next year due to the surgery and recovery, he's two years away from pitching in college again. I think he could do that as a RS Senior, but I think it's more likely a team drafts him late in hopes that he recovers well and they get a steal in the draft.
Generally, returning for a senior year is a risk because you lose leverage in contract negotiations that you have as a junior where you can return to college if the money isn't right. Davis was always a bit of a unique draft case because he was a draft-eligible Sophomore who hadn't yet lived up to his HS reputation. Now add in the injury on top of that, and it's difficult to project where he will go. He's very talented, and most teams don't get scared off by TJ surgeries these days. But in a lot of cases, teams also get a chance to see that player pitch at some level after recovery or saw consistent, dominant pitching prior to the injury.
Keegan Thompson is a great example. He was a very talented HS prospect with good numbers as a young college pitcher. Had an injury and TJ surgery. He came back for a redshirt junior year and had a great year and ended up as a third round pick. That might not be a bad road for Davis to travel, but I imagine that will be a difficult road to travel.
Yeah originally I was thinking he could pitch next year, but if they injury keeps him out two years then I guess he doesn't want to lose that leverage. That sucks.
Important game tonight. Not a must-win, but to carry the momentum of the Ole Miss win over to Vandy, we need to have a good performance tonight.
Well that was refreshing. Several new guys had good nights at the plate. Conor Davis stayed hot. Several hits in important situations. Good to see.
7-4 now. Rare is probably not the best way to describe it but we had struggled recently.
Bryan Matthews said on Twitter that it was the first mid week win in 5 weeks. I assume that covered two losses to Georgia .Tech, the Montgomery loss to bama, and a previous loss to Jacksonville State
That’s correct. We’d been solid in the midweek before the Bama midweek game. Then we went into the tank. That game is also where the impact of not having Jack Owen started showing up. We exhausted the bullpen the weekend before at Miss St in that Sunday game. And we’ve been playing catch-up since then.
Nah. Just pointing out our record because the way you described it made it seem like you didn’t know what it was.
That is a rice level move of a goal post you did right there.
Seems as though y’all are responding to some deranged epersona, I recommend the Rivals ignore function.
Well excuse me for considering something that hasn’t happened in over a month to be rare
Don’t know what this has to do with you moving the goal posts but I could see your point when I originally responded. Another way to think about it is that something that’s happened 7 times in 10 weeks isn’t all that rare for some. Surely you can see that?
Rough start. Vandy scores 3 in the second after a leadoff solo HR, an infield double, two walks, a sac fly and a wild pitch. Auburn promptly loads the bases with no outs in the top of the 3rd and scores no runs. Now, Tanner Burns has left the game with an injury, and we’re in a rain delay.
Hopefully it's just a blister like someone is reporting.
I hate that rule. Bliss was just hustling and had his right foot been a foot to the right, it's 3-2.
Butch Thompson was ejected because the wet conditions led to Tanner Burns injury. As mad as Butch was, guessing the injury is pretty serious or has the potential to be serious
Butch?
Sure has looked like it this season, considering the roster management on display.
I’m sure ole Bush Thompson has it under control though.
No. Butch is currently coach in college.
Was referring to xCSG.
A Bunker member was posting about his son playing a travel ball tournament and xCSG was coaching a team in said tournament, a while back.
Yep. Should’ve forfeited the game when they didn’t push the start time up so we didn’t risk injury to any of our pitchers.
