Cameron Rupp Injured

[Lost_In_Ohio]

Augie said in the post game interview that Rupp may have a broke collar bone. He said that we won't know for sure until today at the least.

This does not bode well for us. Preston Clark was still looking to rest and heel for another couple of weeks. Hope it all works out and Clark is ready to go this weekend and Rupp isn't out for too terribly long.

This really sucks. Here's to a speedy recovery.

This could really, really set us back.

Preston is not ready yet, our other options are Moldenhauer and a slew of unproven/young guys.

Broken collar bone?!

Rupp looked really sharp to start the season. Man that would be a blow to our pitching staff to lose their battery partner.

 

[Barton Hills]

Just heard word it's a deep bruise, no break.

Hope that news is true.

OMG!! I hope that is true

i know i was in and out of the park a lot last night, but i saw nothing.

 

[UT Horn Fan]

I was there, too. Anyone know what happened and when?

 

[Barton Hills]

7th or 8th ... took a nasty foul ball off the shoulder. Completely missed his padding.

He battled thru the inning, but Preston hit for him in the next frame.

Barton Hills (or anyone with information), let us know what you hear about the injury furthermore.

Per the Statesman: Just a bruise. Rupp cleared to practice

....Thank God.

Whew!
But, do ya think it might be a good idea to rest him a while until it heals. There's a long season ahead.

I think we go with Rupp if he can play this weekend. I really want to rest Preston and make sure he's ready for conference play. Not to diminish Rupp, who has been fantatstic, but Preston is the leader of this team and needs to be on the field.
