In fact, I am pretty sure that Roy specifically said Mayo is NOT hurt when he started a thread about Mayo not being in the line up today.

As Ben McDonald would say the only thing hurt is his feelings.  Mayo will get at bats.  They aren’t going to be everyday unless he goes on a heater.  The manager is going to lean down the stretch with the better defense as he can.

Hyde couldn't get Mayo an at bat now?

I don't get it, for one, how is he going to get accustomed to major league pitching if he rarely sees it. Also, you're up big late, against a terrible team, get some of your best players out of there, imagine the meltdown if Santander or Henderson got hurt batting in the bottom of the 8th in a blowout when you have extra bench players.

Yesterday was how they’ve handled Mayo this entire season. It’s partially why I continue to say he’s never really had a shot. He gets subbed out in the 6th. Not pinch hitting him today was weird, but just seems like they don’t think he’s ready

I’m very broken up about it.

Not sure I would call an at bat against the White Sox as major league experience but I do agree get Henderson out, Santander and whoever else you want.
