dang, not so good season just got a whole lot worse.

That stinks. As if things weren't hard enough. The weekend pitching and the closer were the best things about this team. Tough break for the kid, the team and for Holbrook.

Hope he recovers and goes high in draft.

Torn UCL will probably require Tommy John surgery...not just out this season, but more likely a year and half.

Awful, feel for the kid.

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Holbrook now has his excuse.

 

[crouterhead]

Considering his projected draft status, this may cost him a 7 figure dollar amount. Maybe he has some sort of insurance policy.

Pitching arms take a beating over the years. We haven't seen the last of this kid he'll be back.

Another stupid post.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

Another stupid post.

It's true.

 

[jimnasium]

It's true.

Help me I'm old. What's true the excuse part or the another stupid post part?

Back in the day we would say..Win Anyway

 

[jimnasium]

Both.

It will be kinda hard for Chad to use that as an excuse when we had Schmidt in the rotation when we got in this mess. Ain't buying it if he went that route. I don't recall Schmidt ever leaving the bases drunk with no outs as a hitter.

Are you implying guys are getting drunk in the dugout before they come up to bat? Holbrook has lost control. Sad!

 

[USCBatgirl21]

I'm not saying we'd believe the excuse. I just fully expect it to be uttered.

 

[cockn'fyr]

Hate that for Clarke!

Maybe I should have used "loaded"..lol

Well that would be a classic case of "losers limp".

Horrible news. At this point, not so concerned about this season but more concerned about his pro chances and getting a big pay day which was certain before this injury.

Heal quickly, Clarke, and we will all be routing for you in the MLB one day!

DAMN!!!!!

This is what I was worried when he went out on Thursday...

Thank you Jerry Meyers!!!

Over use our pitching staff!!!

That will save his bacon with Tanner...

I'm glad you said it this time and not me.

 

[jimnasium]

If Tanner let's Chad use this as an excuse then Chad might put his entire rotation on the DL. Tanners knows this has nothing to do with where we are.

Baseball terms... " leaving the bases drunk" is also bases loaded...

getting loaded... Getting drunk...

You never heard Bob Uecker saying "the bases are loaded and so am I"???

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

This is the second time Clarke went out this season and we were lucky to have him back, but thought he threw too many pitches coming back from a sore arm.

Now we don't have to worry about that now... He's out for the season this time around...

I hate that for Schmidt and the team. Guess this means that Colie Bowers and Cody Morris, the Chad and Jerry show's favorite headliners, will get lots more mound time.

I've never heard "bases drunk." I've heard 'loaded,' 'full,' and even 'juiced,' but never 'drunk.'

 

[bucketdad]

First and foremost, hate it for him. Secondly, Tanner himself has been using the injury excuse since the Vandy series... so it's there already. I just hope the excuses don't get to the point of embarrassing. Next man up. Win anyway.

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

I hope he turns into an all-star pitcher. I, personally, don't wanna see him get routed.

 

[lawcalcock]

As we discussed last week, when a pitcher complains about severe forearm tightness, it's the elbow 90% of the time...Sometimes extended rest will heal it...Worst case scenario is Tommy John...Hate it for Clark...This will cost that young man millions of dollars...Even if he avoids immediate surgery, scouts will figure the elbow is due to go and significantly downgrade him..

This is not the time to bash Holbrook..Let's all wish Clarke the best...We have all summer to bash Holbrook

What injury? Hop? He's been battling that all season, so that shouldn't matter. And he's still trying to give 110% out there.

Well, you just learn something new today...

You must not have daughters... Or you would learn something new daily...

Not sure what injuries Tanner was referring to. During the second or third game of the Vandy series, Tanner was interviewed and felt he needed to defend Chad. One of the things he mentioned was that Chad has had to deal with some injuries this year. I don't recall him being specific. But when I hear things like that (right or wrong) they make me cringe. That's why I remember it.

 

[92Pony]

SONOFA..........!!

As others have said, absolutely hate this for Clark! Wish him a successful surgery and speedy recovery!I don't know that there's much hope of salvaging this season at all now. There was a slim chance before, but now........ugh.

 

[sclawman77]

Holbrook now has his excuse.

My thoughts exactly. Tanner will be reminding the fans of it too-regularly.
