May 16May 16 Popular Post Gotta give it up for ARod last night. Collected a pair of doubles when we were desperately needing offense. Got hit around the knee in another AB, then swiped a bag anyway. Plus drew a walk. I think anyone whining about his D needs to see the whole picture of what we have in this kid. He's a freshman switch hitter who in the short term has had to bat lefty against every pitcher, due to injury... but still produces when it really matters. Great to have him in burnt orange.

Got hit around the knee in another AB, then swiped a bag anyway. I thought it was his knee at first, too, but the replay made it look like it caught his left inner thigh, just above the knee. Probably for the better, I'd rather have a muscle bruise than a bone bruise (or worse).

Regardless, tough kid to shake that off, swipe second and finish out the win. I hope he gets today off, and maybe tomorrow.

I don’t think anyone thinks he’s a problem to have. He’s a great player for sure but right now he’s best served as a DH because he can’t defend.

That 10-pitch double in the seventh when he fouled off five pitches finished Witherspoon, imo.

May 16May 16 Do we empty the bench the rest of this series? We have clinched the regular season championship. I would just look to get our midweek pitchers work, while resting some of our regulars. Galvan looked a little gimpy last night. We've likely clinched a Top 4 seed in the NCAA if not the #1 overall right now.

We have five games max in the next two weeks, plenty of resting time in there. Especially for guys this age.

I was initially violently opposed to this idea and wanted us to play for the sweep but fucking Gasparino, Mendoza, A-Rod, Galvan, Jonah…. Yeah, I’d consider it. Edited May 16May 16 by B00M

May 16May 16 Meaningful rest (eg Galvan) is fine but otherwise there’s still work to be done in finding our best lineup so we need guys to play

Also, losing the last three series is a narrative we don’t want the committee to have available to them as an excuse to do something shitty to us in terms of seeding or matchup.

It’s still OU and winning still matters.

And it looks like every swing hurts him. He has to be playing through some pain.
May 16May 16 If AR isn't playing through pain then he needs to be handed the Academy Award for Best Actor.

I know it's a hand bruise, but I'm not even sure if resting for 4-5 days would help it that much. I think they decided at a certain point that he would just have to play through it and deal with it after the season. Seems like the type of injury that needs extended rest (as in weeks or a month) to truly heal or get better. He's definitely earned a rest day or two though if he has other nagging stuff.

May 16May 16 I’d rest Mendoza and Galvan. DH Belyeu, that will let you play Jonah, Tommy, and Will as well

May 16May 16 God I hate ESPN+. God forbid I log in, find the game, DON'T launch it early, then attempt to launch it several minutes into the broadcast. "Game has not started yet. Come back in a bit." Log out, log in, repeat, voila. Fucking lunacy.
