Same hand, shit. He was still favoring it yesterday too. Still won’t hit the third base coach with the right after a hr, and was hiding it when he was swarmed at the dugout.
I think it’s not even close that he has the talent for Friday night…. He’s by far our best pitcher, and it’s not even close. Still thinking about this and I guess I still have questions… Why can’t he DH on Saturday and Sunday? I actually like Heyman at first base and Garrison catching. I know you know pitching very very well and not debating what you you know but I think you would agree with me, We are a different team with Garrison behind Home plate. So again, I guess my only question is why can’t Cags DH on Saturday and swing a bat four times and do nothing else? Same thing on Sunday? And yes, I would acknowledge that. He is an excellent first baseman and better than Heyman, but just to swing the bat four times I think seems possible.
I keep thinking this St. Mary’s team is really solid. This #3 has impressive stuff. And you can never count them out. Hoping Cags can go 6-7 since our pen is so uncertain.

Apropos of nothing... I'm eternally disappointed that The (Dixie) Chicks song "Goodbye Earl" lacks any riff that Gator Baseball can use.
Cags is playing Friday and Saturday fresh and pitching on Sunday. His recovery for his next start begins on Sunday. It is a proven routine that keeps him strong for his next start throughout the season. Have you ever pitched 6 to 7 innings at the ages of 20-21 to know how your body feels and works the next day? You have routines to recover and regain strength and stamina as you work body stiffness out as well as acquiring muscle strength recovery. I don’t really know how else to explain this—it’s not just about one day. It’s about every day…..
