Gausman has cortisone shot

[Larry18]

How cool would it be to have someone who tore up their primary arm try and learn how to throw with the other one? There has been a couple ambidextrous pitchers before, include one that is currently active, so it is within the realm of possibility.

Gio Gonzalez did when he was a teenager.

I know Billy Wagner had to switch to throwing lefty because he injured his right arm. Didn't stop him from becoming one of the greatest closers of all time. Of course that kinda stuff is an extreme rarity.

Neat and neat.

But I was specifically talking about someone who had already made the majors. Would make a better movie.

Hey look! Another Oriole pitcher having shoulder / arm pain.

Its starting to get worrisome how fragile the O's arms are. At least the ones they draft.

I guess you don't follow other teams. We are luckier than most teams with pitchers injuries.

Over the last 2 seasons, the Orioles have been the worst team in the Major Leagues in terms of giving runs back in the half inning immediately following an inning in which their offense scored runs ...... unless you take the actual statistics into account.

I think we could probably make the case for guys currently healthy who should consider it.

There's NO WAY it's a 2-3 day thing. That's basically impossible.

Even if it could be resolved that quickly I don't think the players involved would let it be resolved that quickly. They will err on the side of caution.

Didn't he have this same exact issue last year around this time?

He did.

I guess it just seems like it happens to the Orioles more. Since the SP depth is so bad, and it seems to happen to almost every young SP we pin all our hopes on. Atleast lately.

He says it is not the same thing.

Short memory? We had pretty much zero pitching injuries in 2014. I think the only significant one was Ubaldo twisting his ankle in the parking lot (coincidentally when he was leading the league in walks and his delivery was all over the place).

You are right that the injuries seem to hit our elite prospects, but overall I would say we have had an average or even good track record when it comes to pitching injuries.
