This guy really can not stop earning my respect. Damn. I have had a muscle pull in my abdomen before and it hurts like hell. I couldn’t imagine pitching with a tear.
This is all coming from Adam Rubin’s Twittter feed.
Terry Collins said Dickey has been dealing with an injured stomach muscle “for quite a while” and aggravated it in second inning today.
Dickey said he needs surgery Oct. 18 for abdominal tear suffered early in season.
“The pain was fairly significant from time to time. We just did a good job of managing it.” — Dickey.
The surgery was rescheduled, but the pain got bad tonight. May have torn worse. Injured it in cold weather in April in Philly.
“Tonight it was hard to catch my breath sometimes,” Dickey said. Not sure if he could’ve started in 5 days if needed.
Dickey said he prayed a lot this year with wife that tear didn’t get worse. “They liken it to a sports hernia,” he said. On lower right side
