Schultz injured?

[halfwaytoheaven]

Aaron Schultz started out in cf last night, but about midway through he was pulled, Rivera moved to center and Jordan took over in right. Was he injured, or was there another reason?

Situational substitution? It happens all the time in baseball.

I wasn't able to watch last night's game so I have no idea, but generally, situational substitutions are for defensive purposes late in the game, and Schultz is considered a very good outfielder as far as I know.

Schultz has been struggling some and I'm guessing they thought it was a good opportunity to get Zac Jordan some playing time. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jordan play/start more often.

Did anybody else read this thread title and think, "Mike Schultz got injured?"

For Schultz? :wacko:

He walked, then Weik flied out to end the 3rd. He was at full sprint on Weik's fly ball even though it was an easy out, but that's what we do...hustle. He was immediately pulled and replaced by Jordan. My guess is that he tweaked something running around the bases. You don't make defensive changes after 3 innnings when you're only up a couple runs. He seemed to be walking around without a limp in the dugout afterwards, so hopefully it was precautionary.

Yes. And may or may not have laughed upon doing so.

It was Rivera that made the diving catch in center, right?

Who considered making a short side option joke

Yeah, that was Brance.

Me! My first thought was that he got run over while directing a short side option drill.

 

[TCURiggs]

Yeah, that was Brance.

Congrats on your 5th post. What is that, about one per year that you've been hanging around here?
