Didn't want to start a whole thread about this, but didn't really know where to post this news. LSU baseball: Anthony Ranaudo to miss Friday start because of injury | - NOLA.com He may miss a few starts...doesn't seem serious...we have a lot of pitching...coach Mainieri wants to rest him till he's 100%.
NOOOOOO...... edit: got to my pc to read the article. hope its just some tenderness and nothing more in his elbow. resting it is the right thing to do. a bigger injury with the elbow could end his career and no one wants that to happen. its the could be out for a few weeks that is worrisome. against w & m we should get by without him. glad this didnt happen later on in the season.
****, didn't see this one. i deleted my thread... which i thought was better, steve. haha. oh well, it will help out in the long run to see some more arms.
the advocate article said that he wasn't in pain, it was just an awkward feeling. i'm willing to bet that this isn't that big of a deal and CPM is just being pre-cautious. i bet that there are many, many coaches out there who would still pitch their ace in this condition. this just means that he will be a bit fresher come SEC ball. i hope...
Maineiri said that he wanted to rest Renaudo basically because he has a great future as a professional baseball player. 1st class move by Maineiri, but what do you expect out of guy like CPM, dude is nothing but class.
Another article about Ranaudo's "discomfort"...A lot more detailed. TigerRag - More on Anthony Ranaudo?s elbow trouble
