Does Texas rest their arms - Volantis, maybe Grubbs and Rojas given they have locked up the SEC? I think they are a lock for a top 8 seed. Maybe sit Jonah to keep hammy healthy.

Yeah nobody who has a national seed locked up is playing their dudes in that tourney. Us especially after we lost our ace.

Not just the tourney, but against OU today and Saturday.

I think you have to rest Schussler and Galvan as well. Both seem to be banged up a little.

Maybe Volantis since he threw almost 50 pitches last night unless Schloss needs an out.

Riojas struggled his last 2 outings. He lasted 1/3 of an inning last weekend. Grubbs threw twice last weekend but unless they are injured I imagine they will both be used this weekend. Otherwise they will have 2 weeks off before the SEC tournament and pitchers are conditioned to pitch each week and like routine.  They may be on a pitch count but I think they will both pitch against OU.

Plus Blake said Rojas is scheduled to start today.

Galvan seemed to be running a little awkward in that highlight video. I'd clear the bench.

He seemed to have a slight limp earlier when he went to second base.

Galvan clearly tweaked something on his big swing earlier in that at-bat. Right after the swing he asked the ump for additional time and was trying to stretch and gather himself. And then he was clearly limping around the bases.
