What's the deal with the long black sleeve on Bentley's throwing arm? *

Same reason the basketball players wear them-to look cool and different I guess.
Actually his Throwing arm is Bionic, and the summer humidity in Columbia screw up the inner gears..
Since you've solved that one, what is the reason Art Briles has never been photographed with short sleeves on?
He wears it as some kind of a governor in practice to keep his arms from looking like Popeye's he's been working out you see.
It is covering up a few pornographic tattoos.

And I always thought they were compression sleeves and worn for medical reasons.
"Compression arm sleeves are worn to help your muscles recover from the previous activity. The recovery process could be long but wearing this sleeve will help you recover quicker. It enables your blood flow to circulate quicker to the heart, which helps your injuries to heal quicker."
Copperfit! Makes one into Hercules! (Heavy sarcasm intended)
Just like swimming... Swimmers wear the fast suits to compress their bodies and swim faster... Every milliseconds counts...
Whatever happened to just wearing your pads and no extra equipment like a freaking boss?
This is most likely a case of wanting to look cool or something

This is a quote taken directly from sleefs.com...anybody want to guess what they sell at sleefs.com? Compression sleeves are NOT scientifically proven to enhance performance or recovery.
Could also partly be the same reason you see pitchers in baseball wearing jackets in August.
Can't let the throwing arm get cold. That's how you injure it.

Honestly...probably to keep his arm warm, as another mentioned, similar to when you see pitchers with coats on their pitching arm.

People that wear them, swear by them. I've used one on my ankle when I had problems with pain/swelling from running.

maybe not scientific, but the brain is something else. If one believes it works, it often will work.
OKAY OKAY enough...... Here is his right arm without the Sleeve, everyone knows "Black" is Slimming..
I don't know that mine are "Copperfit" but they are supposedly infused with some kind of alleged copper technology. I DO know that I was having terrible elbow pain when working out and a friend recommended them; the pain is now GONE. I don't know how they work, but they do.
Of Garcia in the hotel with the strippers the night before the SEC championship game, because that would be magical.
Didn't that happen before the Chick Fil A bowl? Not that it really matters.
