Yeah Diggs' shoulder issue is not great. I think the goal now is to try and do whatever to get him ready for postseason. Several games off.

Yeah, save for a situational PH like last night, I wouldn’t be surprised if we sit Diggs until Hoover or the regional. DVH said in his postgame press conference that Diggs asked to play but they’re just trying to give him as much rest as possible to heal up his shoulder (+keep him from exacerbating it in the field).

The bad thing about Diggs sitting is that we’ll likely see more Wilmsmeyer. Personally, I’d rather keep giving Jones a shot and platoon Edmunson and Lovich at the other corner OF spot.

I’ve said this ad nauseum, but Wilmsmeyer is nothing more than a late game defensive sub. He hasn’t had a hit in an SEC game since game 3 of the Ole Miss series back on April 6th and is 0 for his last 25. He’s slashing .150 / .239 / .167 in conference play, which is worse than both John Bolton and Parker Rowland last year.
