Man, that would be the best news of the day if thats all it is.Lemon really downplaying the dohm injury in press conference. Calling it a zinger. And says if he’s not going to act like it’s a big deal, I’m not either.
Tuesday headline will be MRI reveals Tommy John is needed*****Lemon really downplaying the dohm injury in press conference. Calling it a zinger. And says if he’s not going to act like it’s a big deal, I’m not either.
Following for this answer too. I think it has to be an MRI from all the arm injuries the past few years, but I don't know so I'll defer to someone more knowledgeable than me about it.For y’all that know more about this type injury than myself, I was thinking about how medics typically know an MCL/ACL injury immediately just by feeling an athletes knee. Can a UCL tear be determined in a similar way or is it different in that only an MRI is going to reveal what’s really going on?
I've rarely seen a guy have that reaction and not need TJ. Especially when he flirted with it last year. The way these guys throw all the time now, and throw hard, it's almost just part of the deal these days. You just hope to get drafted before it happens.For y’all that know more about this type injury than myself, I was thinking about how medics typically know an MCL/ACL injury immediately just by feeling an athletes knee.

Same for me. I saw Lemonis comments after the game and thought there is no way both of them aren’t worried about this. Like you said, never seen that reaction and it not ultimately be a serious injury. Maybe he can avoid Tommy John but I’d be shocked if he’s on the mound next Friday.I've rarely seen a guy have that reaction and not need TJ. Especially when he flirted with it last year.

And I especially don't expect college baseball coaching bros like Lemonis to be able to diagnose it. They have a mental block about the whole deal.
But to your question, it depends on the tear. Pain can be variable too. So yeah, it's about the MRI.
I'm always concerned when a pitcher throws a pitch and then immediately comes out of the game. That's not normal. May not be a major injury (yet). But it's not something trivial either.Same for me.

Shoulder is one thing. The UCL is a different animal.Some similar happened a couple weeks ago where he started working his shoulder after a pitch. They came out to check on him, and everyone was prepared for disaster. He pitched another inning or two, and was obviously fine.
