[QUOTE="DecaturJacket, post: 1163286, member: 7369"] Schmidt was definitely in the dugout tonight and looked to be moving around fine. I think we're just being careful and letting him heal. While I love Kent being in the lineup and his production, we really don't lose much with the lineup we trotted out there today. You basically just get to play all of Baker/Daniel/Rogers. Tough day for that group today, but I don't see them getting 1 hit between them very often. Don't take that as me saying that we don't miss Kent in there, just that the drop off isn't all that steep. You basically trade some AVG/OBP for a little more pop. The McKelvey injury didn't look too bad. Looked like he just pulled something imo. If it was a tear in the shoulder area he'd have been in much more pain and it would've been more visible. Much better that it's a shoulder than an elbow also. Elbow and arm injuries linger longer than shoulder. That being said, I'd be willing to bet we hold him out for a few weeks at a minimum out of precaution even if it is nothing but a pull. [/QUOTE]
