give him whatever Zach Calzada got in the tent
Tweet from Ryan Brauniger: More: LaViolette took batting practice in the last hour, and the pain did cause some pain and discomfort but did not alter his swing. He then went to Michael Earley and said he wanted to give it a go. News: In a rather shocking turn of events, Texas A&M outfielder Jace LaViolette will play tonight against LSU in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals. I’m told the broken bone in his hand can’t get worse so it’s become a pain management situation. I expect to see him in a DH role.
