O's are dealing with a "physical issue" on team that could lead to DL move

[El Gordo]

I wonder if Johnson would start tomorrow night if they figure out the whole DL thing.

That's an idea. It would push Chen back a day. He could probably use the rest.

And it's the regularly scheduled start for Johnson. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give all of them an extra day.

Would it be a terrible idea for Patton to get a spot start the next time we encounter a need for it? The guy has been phenomenal this year.

And he's been a starter in the past.

Remember Tillman's jammed finger from his last start where he damaged his nail pretty bad on his right index finger? Maybe he threw a BP session and something wasn't feeling right.

The only injury Chen sustained in his last start was to his ego.

It's amazing that we can come up with legitimate potential injuries for so many guys on the team just based on what we have seen in the last week. Chen's line drive, ball off Hunter's hand, TIllman's jammed finger, O'Day's not pitching in a while, etc.

It's like Murder on the Orient Express, where they all had a motive.

Hmmm, maybe we're putting our entire staff on the DL? (Sorry for the 70 year old spoiler in case you haven't read any Agatha Christie).

Apparently, LHP Troy Patton is the #orioles pitcher expected to go on DL. Apparently rolled his ankle.

Ugh. Not good. Makes sense now that we got JC. But JC walks the planet. Patton's BB/9? 2.0 (for his career). JC Romero's the last 4 years? 6.3.

With RP it's always what have you done for me lately. How are his numbers this season?

I'm just going to stop saying stuff.

In MLB: 8 IP, 10.13 ERA, 2.000 WHIP, 950 OPS against lefties.

As for in the minors? Well, if minor league numbers translated, Miguel Socolovich might have had some respectable outings.

Patton isn't stretched out for even a spot start. Yes he started more than a season ago, but he was ineffective in AAA. At most, I think Patton could give 3 innings and that would be stretching him thin. And it especially doesn't make sense when you can call up a starter from the minors.

If #Orioles do make a DL move, one option being considered is starting Steve Johnson on regular rest (Tues) & pushing back rest of rotation.

DD and most GMs like to wait til the last minute in case something changes.

Take it as a good thing. Whoever it is may not be oit long if they can wait until the last minute to put them on the disabled list.
