Ty cracked a rib before half... Deboer kept him in?!!

Ty should have taken himself out if the coaches wouldn't do it.

Competitors don’t do that. My son tore his ucl in his elbow catching and stayed in two innings further before the pain became unbearable. Tore a ligament in his thumb tagging a player out at home plate and finished the game. Competitors don’t quit period.

Greg McElroy played the SECCG and NC with broken ribs in 2009.

If you are hurting the team and you stay in you are a moron.

You are talking like a fan. These players aren’t fans. They’re competitors and always believe they can get the job done. Do I think the coaches should have played other QBs throughout the season because of Ty’s struggles absolutely but when you’re talking about players removing themselves you are in make believe land. It doesn’t happen.

I lettered in football, baseball and basketball. Was a starter in every sport I ever played.

If I knew I was hurting the team due to an injury I would take myself out. Only way I wouldn't is if there was no one to replace me.

You don't hurt your team, ever.

Yeah point was in response to indignation over a player playing hurt, this is nothing new for us or a ton of other teams.

I was wanting to see a QB change weeks ago and was livid when against E IL we were letting him throw directly at safeties, but it was clear last year that starting QBs get a ton of rope under CKD so I’m not sure why anyone is surprised it was left to him to decide.

Realistically based on what we saw from Mack and the defense it probably wasn’t going to matter today.

So did I. I played baseball and football was an all district OL and a starting catcher in a 5A state championship baseball team in south Louisiana. I played through sprained ankles, a concussion and a pulled muscle in my back. I played late 80s to early 90s when the game was much tougher than what we see now. I NEVER pulled myself. Competitors compete they don’t quit.

Mack looked solid considering he was thrown into the deep end 24 points down.

Carlton may be right. Mack has something of an it factor to him.

Mack looked good considering.

15 told Dr Cain he couldn't go and they showed that conversation. If you can read lips.
