RRR did the same thing when he finally gave Rickie a day off. Why pinch hit a guy when he is given a day off because he can't hit to save his life? Just dumb. Now he is trying to ley Braun heal a little bit, then he pinch hits him? RRR is a goofus. The day he gets canned will be the best day of the season so far. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later. I played through a thumb injury in high school, and I will tell you this, you use your thumb for a lot more than you realize when you are healthy. It was tremendously painful, and drug on for a long time. (of course, after the season ended, I found out it was fractured, so there was that...lol)
