It is not a comfortable at bat, I will say that. It is not comfortable." |

Fri Jul 22 2016 | 03:30 | 3B Nolan Arenado did not play |
3B Nolan Arenado did not play. Manager Walt Weiss said Arenado didn't really get an All-Star break since he played in the All-Star Game. Weiss rested Carlos Gonzalez, who also played in the All-Star Game, on Tuesday and said he was looking to do the same with Arenado. In 16 games this month, Arenado entered Thursday hitting .242 (15-for-62) with two homers and six RBIs. When it was suggested that Arenado looked a bit worn out and was scuffling, manager Walt Weiss said, "That's one of the reasons he's got a night off. Physically Nolan holds up very well. But this game, it's more of a mental grind than anything else." When asked whether the night off might recharge Arenado's batteries, Weiss said, "That's the plan." |
