Could someone explain to me what Biller is bringing to the table that’s so great that Root is only playing rarely, or Belisario isn’t sharing time with him? I’m not getting it.

And while we are at it, Grabowski hitting below the Mendoza line here in his Sr season. I know he has already been sharing duty with Lane, but would like to see more Tirado and less Grabowski when a righty is pitching. I would like to see more Belisario.

In my mind, part of it has to do with MacArthur being the D.H and not playing 1B. If MacArthur was at 1B, it would increase the chance of Root getting playing time at the D.H. spot.

I would be shocked if it was for rest. What other major program rests their ace in a key conference game. It's not like we can afford to lose games. Has to be an injury of some sort.
 
Top 1st, Ellisen gives up a leadoff single, and the runner moves to 2B on a wild pitch with no outs. A no out double drives in a run, the batter is thrown out for the 1st out trying to move on to 3B. 1-0 Seton Hall.

With 2 outs, Ellisen gives up a solo homer, 2-0 Seton Hall going to the bottom of the inning.

They’ve been talking during games about his recent pitch counts and the fact he missed 2024 due to injury. Can there me more to it - sure, but they seem to be painting a picture of just being cautious based on data from their ArmCare pitching system metrics.

Ellison not missing bats. The defense has been good behind him. Bats a little unlucky in big spots.
