Matt Eads

I heard a rumor that he was not going to play against Elizabethton on Friday.

 

Can anyone confirm whether or not this is true?

Apparently he has a left hand injury that may require surgery, but he played with it this past friday according to earlier posts. I bet he plays.

Someone said in a post on another thread that he injured his left hand during the Johnson County game and that it may require surgery.

 

I wish somebody would verify what's going on.

 

Then again its probably strategy that noone knows.

I have a very reliable source and yes he is having surgery on his hand this week.

Don't believe it for a minute. He's a tough kid and has been playing with it hurt. He wouldn't miss the biggest playoff game in East's history. He'll have the surgery at a later date and I hope everything goes well for him. He and his family are class acts.

Matt Eads Injured his left thumb during the Johnson county game in which they told him hten it would require surgery. He has since then played, and he went for a check up after the MOrristown East game and they told him the tendon that he tore was curling up that if he wanted to play baseball ( which he is a great baseabll player also) he would have to get surgery ASAP before the tendon died and he would loose all mobility in his thumb. He has surgery some time today (tuesday). So he will not be playing.

I hope this is not true. Knowing Matt's parents, I really feel for him if this is so. I trully hate to see his season end this way. I know his is an outstanding baseball player and have the utmost respect for him. I wish him well. He is a class act kid.

pretty sure it is illegal to discuss the status of an injury without the person's consent

I heard the same thing as h-unit did. Eads had a certain "window" of time that he could have surgery on his left hand, or suffer permanent damage. He chose to play as long as he could, but his time was up this week. I really hate it for him. He seems to be a good kid, who has done alot for the East program. Hopefully he will be completely healed before baseball season.

 

Matt, hope the thumb heals well.
