I missed this yesterday, listening to the game on the radio:

Jones rolled his left ankle while scoring in Game 2, but he kept playing. The question is whether he wakes up this morning and the ankle is the size of Bruce Bochy's head.

Roch posted it today on MASN.

Yeah, we were posting about this in the game thread. It did not look good in real time

We can not afford for AJ to be hurt for any length of time.

If I was Buck, I might be tempted to give him the day off today and play Lough in CF, just to be on the safe side.

Apart from the injury, I think giving Adam a day (or two) off during this stretch might be helpful in September and October.

I agree, but AJ is a gamer and likes to play every single inning.

So far it looks like, he has only come out of 2 games early for a total of 2 innings

Since collapsing to the ground after crashing into the wall and hurting his ribcage in Yankee Stadium on May 8th, AJ has managed only 1 HR and 2 doubles out of a total of 19 hits over those 20 games. His last extra base hit was a double on May 17th.

He also suffered that weird ankle roll at the plate a few days ago.

He seems to have no power. He bunts in some situations where he would normally try to drive someone in.

His defense doesn't seem to be affected, thank goodness.

Watching him grind through this, I can't help but be impressed by his fortitude and appreciate his commitment to the team. Hopefully, Paredes and Davis will pick him up a little longer, until he's back up to AJ Normal, a level of play most players never approach.

I'm glad he's on our side.

I think he is injured in several significant ways. He is still our best player.

He looked great on that OF assist to get Laroche. I don't know how you do that if your chest or shoulder is not 100%.

Strikeouts are still down relative to his career, so he does not appear to be cheating to compensate.

He really is as tough as any guy to wear the uniform. Including Cal.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
