It’s amazing that Westburg was able to have that game after several posters on here last night were acting like he secretly had his leg amputated.

Actually this isj't anything unusual for many of the players they brought up. DL Hall, Grayson Rodriguez, Tarrin Vavra, Yusniel Diaz, and Gunnar Henderson all had MLB debuts on the road in the last 2 seasons. The only one I can remember that had a home game debut in their call up was Westburg. All the others I previously mentioned debut in Texas, and DL Hall appeared on the road in Tampa.
Adley was at home.

Please fix the spelling error in the title in my rush to post this.

Maybe not today. But I think there’s a very good chance he would at the end of the month when teams are facing a crunch for 40 man spots.

There is absolutely no good reason they can’t keep two of Kjerstad/Cowser/Stowers on the roster if they want to. If the concern is losing McKenna because he’s out of options, A. He’s not good enough to care about losing and B. There’s a good chance he clears waivers and they can stash him in Norfolk anyway.

Northern VA. MASN territory. Use VPN to get around the blackouts.
Im also in NOVA and looking for a VPN that works around here. I tried Nord last year but it was sporadic at best. Any recommendations?

Just signed up for MLB.TV 2024 season. If you can qualify through GovX or already have an account, you can get 35% off the subscription. My total ended up being $97.49 for the All Teams package.
Where do you live though?

I don't get it, did he get hurt on the first day? How do you get injured during the off-season? Training? I saw Gunnar was injured too. Dudes need to relax and save their bodies for the season.
Yes, professional ball players should just sit on the couch for the five months a year that they are out of season. That's the key to achieving athletic excellence.

There’s tons of nuance to this that we don’t know. A complete tear is one thing, and a partial tear is something else. Then even within partial tears, I’m sure there are degrees of severity. It’s pretty clear this is not a full tear, and we don’t know how severe a partial tear this is. I’m sure an experienced specialist who’s actually treated Bradish can give Elias a much clearer prognosis than you or I can give by Googling around on medical websites. So, I’m not going to speculate on whether Bradish can reasonably be expected to recover, and how soon. But I’m going to take what Elias says at face value.
Yes, this is my point exactly. I posted this in response to the people saying that it's 100% certain that Bradish will need Tommy John surgery and that Elias is lying when he says he expects Bradish to return this season.

Then name some (MLB pitchers) other than Tanaka who avoided surgery. I can name two, Ohtani and deGrom, who didn't avoid it in 2023.
Off the top of my head, Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. Granted, they both when on to suffer different injuries, but not Tommy John.

A sprained UCL for a regular Joe Schmo compared to a pitcher who uses that ligament strenuously with regularity is a completed different scenario and the odds are definitely not 62%.
That study was done on injured pitchers, not a bunch of fatsos who work in cubicles.

Just now, interloper said:
The data I want to know is, how many of those 62% eventually had the surgery within the next 3 years?
Good question. But I think it's worth noting that they never even bothered to give Bautista the PRP treatment last year, so we can deduce that Bradish's tear is at least a couple grades less severe than Felix's was (if it's indeed a tear and not just severe stretching, which would also qualify as a sprain).

When has Elias ever been straight / completely honest with the press? 99% of his pressers are a bunch of words strung together with no substance. That's all this was.
Non-surgical treatment rarely works for a sprained/torn UCL. It's not a question of if he's going to need surgery it's a question of when.
62% doesn't seem like "rarely" to me, but nobody can say for sure without having access to his medical records.

This whole situation sucks, probably the best rotation in my lifetime is destroyed before the first spring training game.
What I don't understand is the combination of Elias knowing about this injury and the Burnes trade. Why would we trade prospects for a pitcher with one year of control if we knew we were going to be without Bradish in addition to Bautista. Wouldn't a trade for a controllable Marlins pitcher make a lot more sense?
Maybe he actually believes Bradish will be back this year? I know some people on here absolutely refuse to take anything Elias says at face value, but it is conceivable that he's not flat out lying...

This is actually from last year, but still great.

He had 92 AB in 2022 and hit .253 with 3 HR's. An outfielder needs to hit alot better than that, he hits what a catcher on an average team should hit. He already 26 years old and his minor league BA wasn't anything to write home about.
Who are you talking about? Not Cowser. He didn’t even debut until 2023, so I’m not sure what 92 AB in 2022 you’re looking at. And he’s 23 years old, not 26.

I don't know how many people follow the Premier League, but this isn't like 777 Partners trying to buy Everton, where this is concern regarding if they actually have the finances to sustain the team. I think MLB will be very happy to have someone like Rubenstein in the fold.
As an Oriole season ticket holder and an avid Evertonian, I resent you for bringing the stench of 777 back into my mind as I peruse this otherwise glorious thread.

Whether this guy actually buys the team or not, this seems to be the biggest confirmation yet that Angelos is actively looking to sell. To me, that's enough to celebrate for now.

Gonzalez is just a salary dump. He probably wasn’t going to make the Mariners rotation anyway, and he’s nothing more than a #5 option for Atlanta who they would easily bump if they can trade for someone else.

Thank goodness for Texas’s choke job last weekend. Being on the same side of the bracket as both Tampa and Houston would have been the worst case scenario.
Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

What does this mean for Holliday's service time? How long would they need to keep him down now to get the extra year?
