And all I said was it was an option. Orioles decided to back date Wieters. In 17 days someone else will.

Wieters will replace Lavarnway. Simple as that. Or Rondon himself is waived again.

The team won't 60 day DL Gausman unless it is absolutely necessary.

Do you have a quote saying he has been pitching with tendonitis for the past two months?

I honestly haven't see that.

Also Rondon is the very definition of marginal prospect, at first glance I see no reason to pick him up in the first place.

What could possibly have made Rondon attractive to the Orioles, besides the fact he throws hard?

No Gausman going to 60 day because it takes 3 to 6 months to recover from it. The fact Gausman tried to pitch for 2 months with tendonitis leads me to believe he might have done more damage. You know the Orioles. Down play it as long as possible. Like they did with Bundy, Wieters, and JJ.

Every pitcher on every staff of every team at every level has pitched through tendinitis.

I think that tendinitis is medical jargon for :noidea:

It sort of is. Tendinitis just means chronic inflammation of the tendons. And it tends to be used out-of-place for ligamentitis too. Something is causing the tendons to inflame.

I broke it down. 3-6 weeks of healing and 6 to 9 weeks of full healing( physical rehab, not pitching). Then however long it takes to get back to game shape. So its 6-12 week claim jives with what I said. 36 to 72 days before he starts throwing. Think 2 to 4 weeks before he pitches as or higher.

Also chronic tendonitis is known as tendonosis. Where the body wasn't allowed to heal.

Chronic tendinitis is called tendinitis. Tendinitis is a chronic condition. Tendinosis is more like deterioration of the tendon. Which, of course, can be caused in part by ignoring tendinitis.

Tendinitis is easily a 2 month stint or you have repeat injury.MRI is to make sure he didn't screw up his shoulder trying to throw thru it.

The automatic medical response for tendinitis is 2-3 weeks of no activity to allow the swelling to go down and stay down. Then you try to figure out what's wrong and what's the next course of action. So, MRI is to try to find the cause of the chronic inflammation in the first place, whether pitching through the tendinitis made the condition worse or not.

He has had good stats in the PCL which is difficult to pitch in? He was a Cardinals farm hand that was squeezed out by numbers? Wallace, or Chiti or Martinez or Peterson know something about him?

Throws hard, yet 10 year minor league veteran.

Plus, the Rockies got him and didn't keep him long, this season.

It's puzzling, but I guess very low risk.

He had a very bad outing when brought to the majors.

I think you nailed it. Does he have just the option left for the remainder of the season?

      Another Positive Indicator for the Orioles Season to Date

      That's a BP factor not a ghost runner factor.

      Top Ten Reasons Why the Orioles Are the Best Team in Baseball

      By larrytt · Posted

      10) Nobody can hit against Orioles pitchers. They cano hit against Cano, Burnes burns them, Means is mean to them, Webb puts them in web of deception, Akin is akin to Koufax at his peak, all they can do is suarez at Suarez, Cole leaves them cold, Bradish bradishes an unhittable slider, hitters bow to Baumann, their hair turns gray against Grayson, and bats cool off against Coulombe. 9) Seeing that everyone else in the rotation is throwing shutouts, in his next start Burnes will hold the opposing team to -1 runs. When the rest of the rotation matches that, he’ll hold them to -2 runs, and on a good day, -5. Opponents will get dizzy running the bases backwards. 😎 At some point during the season, when the Orioles lead over the second-place Yankees shrinks to only 20 games and everyone is panicking, we will hear trumpets and the pounding hooves of calvary charging up the steps at Camden Yards, and riding in on a huge orange and black charger will be the savior, who will lead the Orioles to victory . . . yes, the return of Jackson Holiday. 7) Spring Stowers bring Mayo powers. 6) They have a Murderer's Row of Holliday, Nordby, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Stowers … and that’s just the reserves. 5) There once was a closer Kimbrel, Who bragged he’d put hitters in hell, Craig Kimbrel can boast that the game’s in the bag, Cuz his name is an anagram of Limerick Brag, So save after save he’ll befell*. (*We’ll ignore some recent performances.) 4) You can’t spell “Baltimore” without “Mateo RBI” and an “L” for the two Lefty pitchers he’s homered against. 3) The Orioles have given up two or fewer runs for seven straight games, outscoring opponents 29-8. In other words, par. Next they go for birdies, which should be easy for an Oriole. 2) On April 11, Colton Cowser hit his first major league home run. It traveled 438 feet. He sent us a clear message – do I really need to spell out the obvious? Okay. 438 is divisible by 2 x 3 x 73. Who are #2 and #3 on the Orioles? Henderson and Mateo, both shortstops. And who was the shortstop for the ’73 Orioles? Belanger. In 544 plate appearances that year, Belanger hit exactly zero home runs while batting .226. Cowser’s clear message to us? We are no longer hitless wonders. Duh. 1) Oh, and they lead the AL in home runs by ten, in slugging by 42 points, OPS by 27 points, runs by 12, lead the AL East in batting average and in both fielding percentage and efficiency, lead the majors in ERA in May (1.20, and that doesn’t include the 2-0 and 4-2 wins at the end of April), and in a secret vote their starting rotation of the past week was voted Greatest Starting Rotation in History.

      I actually think the advantage is more pronounced with that rule because the runner is much less likely to score with a strikeout pitcher on the mound than someone who gives up soft contact because hitters can hit the ball to the right side in those situations to move the runner. Or simply bunt.

      If Coby Mayo Can Play Average ML 3B Defense

      By Just Regular · Posted

      If we are being super creative with SS/CF, isn't it possible CF Gunnar and SS Holliday would be more efficient? I think Westburg finding another gear takes some of the pressure off Mayo's glove. There's asset management over another year but I think absent a very big trade we'll get to C Adley, 1B Mayo, 2B Holliday, SS Gunnar, 3B Westburg, LF Cowser, CF Bradfield, RF Kjerstad, DH Basallo with Norby and Beavers extra guys if they are here. Mix up 1B/RF/DH and Mayo/Kjerstad/Basallo based on their progress as defenders, with maybe DH preferred for Basallo as he might catch some.     Minnesota last year tried catcher load management as simple as alternating days, and maybe that's something the Orioles could do for a decade if both guys ink long term.

      Gotcha.  I agree with that angle.  It's a factor.  Not necessarily the ghost runner though.  That seems a bit more subject to luck.

      Which of our position players would be the best catcher?

      If Superman, The Thing from the Fantastic Four, and Anthony Santander got in a fight who would win?  Discuss.
