I wondered last night if that would effect him today and thought it might .... those bruises get worse overnight

I loved watching Skinner score that winning run. Love the dude's smile and would like to see more black guys ink with us.

Only problem with Skinner is that Rocker makes him look stupid at the plate. Go back and watch his at bats. Anything spinning Skinner was swinging. Definitely outmatched big time versus Rocker.

Cumbest would be the same. If he sees a strike then it?s a mistake. He?s a good mistake hitter but If rocker doesn?t leave is slider up he?d make him look just as bad.

You could tell by the way he was holding his wrist close to his body that it was more bothersome than he let on. Those type HBP can cause small yet debilitating injuries

Maybe Skinner isn't the answer in left? I guess you can tell him to simply just not swing at anything spinning sideways and sit on fastball every pitch.
Easier said than done.
If anything, swing 4" below the ball.

Well he's the only option in left Bc that's the only other outfielder. Unless you count kellum. And I wouldn't.

Brad has had more success lately, but he was likely going to get a steady dose of sliders from Rocker. That isn't exactly a recipe for success.

I'm not saying Skinner will be an upgrade at all. But at least that slider will be coming toward him instead of away from him.

Either way, next man up.

I wouldn't play Kellum in left either. If you do that, we really don't have anyone to DH.

Skinner in left is all we can do.

Well that sucks.. i worried about that after I saw where it hit and it wasn't a slow pitch.
Hope it doesn't hurt. maybe skinner can slap one out there tonight instead.

Big loss. Mule is always a home run threat.

I say get one back. Maybe their catcher or center fielder.....

Sucks. Vandy pitcher popped the shit outta Brad's forearm flush from what I saw that looked intentional considering the score. Sorry for my self promotion but whenever there is a brad thread , I will sometimes remind those who ridiculed me saying that Brad needed to concentrate 100% on football. I feel much better now.

The team just left for the field about 45 minutes ago and he had no cast or wrap on his arm.

There are some rumors that he is out with a wrist injury. I hope that those are lies.

I'm hearing he's gonna give it a go and see what it feels like. I'm expecting him to play. Well see

On the positive side, Vandy wilts under pressure on the bases, if Skinner can get on, might be a run.

I agree with Cadaver. Bunt skinner and let?s see if they can make the plays

It's called, bunt and run.

Rocker is slow to the plate with a leg kick. No reason we shouldn’t be looking to run like crazy…

Its a real loss no doubt. Skinner just can't hit at all based on what I've seen.

Have to get on first. He won't give up the free passes we saw last night.

Trying to be positive. Now we have Skinner AND Lane. Maybe they will both get 3 hits apiece. Bottom of that order looking awfully weak right now though.

Joel Matthews was our Jackie Robinson. I wish we would go after the dominican prospects honestly.

There were black players for State before Joel Matthews. Glen Young played Baseball and Football, Harold Miles (or Myles?) pitched in early 80's that I know of.
