Also, Duquette says Wei-Yin Chen is fine. He's apparently not the health issue and potential DL move. #orioles

Thanks. I had forgotten about the line drive off of his leg. While I was glad that he continued to pitch that game, I was hoping that there wasn't anything major that maybe he was pitching through for those last few innings, but might sideline him afterwards.

So if a position player or RP goes on the DL, do you have to replace him with Johnson immediately? If the roster space created by the injury is filled at first with an extra RP, could that RP then be sent down and Johnson brought up, still filling the spot created by the injury?

Umm....couldn't have Roch followed up with another question....like, well who the heck is it then?!? Ha...I don't get it, are they going to dismiss the players who could be injured one at a time?

Roch has specified " that the Orioles are dealing with a physical issue, which could lead to a pitcher going on the disabled list.

My hope is that Gregg has conveniently developed the same suspiciously malicious viral throat infection that Flaherty did last week.

I hate Gregg as much as the next fan, But he really has had just 1 bad outing in the last month and that was in new york.

Whatever it is, they probably knew about it before they optioned Steve Johnson. That's the only explanation for his demotion that wouldn't risk a spot start on Saturday from Britton/Matusz/Arrieta.

I would also guess that it's a RP since they called up Socolovich and now have Romero. They'll just wait until after Johnson's start tonight to make the move.

True, but Gregg has not been used for anything but mop up work when the Orioles are either up big or down big. Showalter has shown zero trust in him in critical situations.

Hunter is a good guess because of that ground ball that he went after yesterday.

I would not be surpriesd either if it was Chris Tillman. There have been reports of him feeling "dead arm", and his off speed stuff really looked bad on Saturday. I hope it's not, I have no reports that it is. I'm just saying that it would not surpise me if it was him.

Of all the players on our roster right now, Andino would probably be the one that upsets me the least.

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
