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.

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
It won't ever happen in the SEC for obvious reasons, but I do think it is a cool setup overall. I like rewarding teams with strong regular seasons. Getting to host part of the conference tournament is a big deal for schools like UTRGV or Southeastern Louisiana. If I were in that league, I would prefer it over traveling to Arizona to play at some spring training stadium with 100 people in the stands.

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
I really like what the Southland did for their conference tournament this year but I don't think it is something the SEC would ever do because they'd have to end the season a week earlier. Top 8 qualified. #1 seed is hosting #4, #5 and #8 in a double elimination tournament this weekend. #2 seed is hosting #3, #6 and #7. Two winners play a 2 out of 3 series next weekend.

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
If you are only going to win 12 SEC regular season games (which assumes A&M wins the last 2), you better have something else to hang your hat on (tough non-con schedule, Q1 wins, RPI, etc.). A&M checks none of those boxes. -#162 non-con SOS -6-14 in Q1 games -#61 RPI (you need to be in the 40's at minimum to typically be in the conversation as an at-large) They are done outside of winning the conference tournament.

Forgot to say this before the series that OU’s baseball field is a total dump. Might be the worst facility in the SEC. Close race between them and Missouri. Softball being the #2 sport at that school blows my mind. The baseball team literally played for the national title 3 years ago.- Texas @ OU Series Thread

We are playing in the Houston tournament the third week of the season. We are supposed to open the season at San Diego in 2026 to return the trip they made here in 2024, although I don't think Schloss is thrilled he inherited that series and may be looking for a way to get out of it.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
There could be some strategy involved in just throwing a wildcard against Witherspoon tomorrow in a game you know you are facing an uphill battle in, then lining up Ruger and Luke against their #2 and #3 arms.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
The only thing that gives me pause about Saunier is he is still giving up a lot of free passes (7 in his last 8.2 innings across 3 appearances). There really isn’t great options or answers. Ruger’s last two outings have been ass but he has been our guy all year so at some level you have to just trust he will get back on the horse. He has a track record. I am just really against jerking around established guys (Harrison, Volantis, Grubbs, Burns) into different roles this late in the year. I think the bottom line is this is the last week you need a true rotation so pressing the panic button won’t do much. Luke Harrison could be pitching the opening regional game against a dangerous 4 seed or we could be throwing Kade Bing against the SWAC champion.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
I really doubt they are bumping Harrison up 2 full days this late in the season. This is the last week of a real rotation anyway then you do whatever you want to set your pitching up for a regional depending on matchups.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
My wild ass prediction is Grayson Saunier is going to start the third game this week. Keeps Grubbs in the bullpen and allows Flores to go back to the bullpen, where he has looked more comfortable.- Florida @ Texas Series Thread

Interesting to look back at A&M last year and how it is sort of a similar ride that we are on: -Started SEC play 15-6 and 39-6 overall, became #1 the same exact week that we became #1 this year -Lost 2 series in a row in May, on the road at LSU and to an awful Ole Miss team -Won their final series of the year at home against Arkansas -2 and BBQ in the SEC tournament -#3 national seed- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
ARod is playing with one hand and is not any better than Borba defensively. There is no point in DH'ing Tommy Farmer in my mind. His biggest value add at this point is defense.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
He came to Texas as a walk on so the fact he has even a starter as a sophomore is a credit to him but yeah, there are a lot of times it doesn’t look pretty. For someone as physically put together as he is, he rarely seems to hit the ball with authority. He is one of the prime examples of guys playing right now who you probably don’t see on most other SEC teams around the top of the standings.
