Chelsea Thomas Injury?

[X pitcher]

Don't get so excited. Chelsea looked like she was having trouble with her finger blister, and she was out of super glue. She had trouble gripping he ball, and she did have a couple/few wild pitches before she came out of the game.

There was an article on it in the paper here in Columbia yesterday:

Thomas discusses loss of firepower - Columbia Daily Tribune : Mu

Before giving up a HR to Florida in the SEC championship game (her second game of the day) - she had a scoreless streak of 31 innings which included shutting out Arkansas and #2 Tenn TWICE including a no hitter.

Her injury is improving, and hopefully she'll be good to go for the post season...

I watched a lot of the SEC tournament games and did not see a pitcher throwing faster than 68MPH, including Jackie Traina, so it will be interesting to see what they are clocked throwing in the WCWS!

OMG! I have been saying this for weeks....what's up with their speed? Much slower for both young ladies this year than in the past!

Hope she pulls through. I'd hate to see the season shot down due to an injury.

Argh! Looks like the odds have shifted to Washington and against Mizzou. With Thomas' injury and no D1 level backup, they're always going to lose the game she can't pitch, so they MUST win the two that she can in order to move on. --And they didn't.

DD says Princess Krebs is really nice, but she had me screaming at her last night, LOL. No, no, no! Seriously, every time I've watched Missouri play when she was on third, she's made really destructive errors. I can't remember ever seeing Randazzo make errors at third. Maybe it's only been bad luck and she's usually the better defensive choice or maybe it's the stress of being on TV... Anyway, why didn't Missouri have Randazzo play third? Does anyone know?

I was there last night and I said the exact same thing. PK is a wonderful girls but why she was playing 3rd is beyond me. I was shocked to see her there and PI***d after the error especially after the couple overthrow errors she had in the last couple games. I was wondering the exact same thing. Love her but you never know what you are gonna get with her on the field..

Everyone is focusing on the error at 3B, but even if she makes that play, with 2 outs, R3, and grounder to deep short, game is still tied. What killed them was the walk and WP, and those belong to Thomas. Not blaming her, she is a great competitor, but even a clean play at 3B does not prevent the tying run.

Thank you. I was going to post this same thing. The defense on both sides was stellar last night.
