100% agreed, we don’t know what was said. We also don’t know if Ober and the training staff had a ramp up plan, or nutrition/weight gain.
If Ober were injured in the 7th, every TDer would be raising pitch forks and torches with “he was sick and still ramping up, why the hell did Rocco trot him back out?”
We know he was pulled after a velo dip. I have a hard time blaming a manager/training staff protecting player health, if that was the reason. Pablo is on the IL, Paddack looks cooked, Festa and Matthews are both on their way up imminently, if Ober goes down too that rotation gets real thin in a hurry with 150 games to play.
