Let's hope that's all it is. Brach has been shaky lately and if we have to put a big load back on him it may not go as smoothly as it did the last time O'Day was out.

This is what I'm highly concerned about - when O'Day was down earlier, Brach was really pitching at a truly elite, arguably unsustainable, level. That really helped us weather O'Day's absence. He has still been good, but has since shown some vulnerabilities of late. I'm not sure our bullpen can sustain its dominance a second time without O'Day and with Brach looking at least somewhat mortal. This is where we really need Givens to step up.

Yeah. Givens becomes a big key. Donnie Hart too. If they can both step up we can weather any storm that comes along.

Quick google and this is what came up first....

"I didn't really know what to expect," d'Arnaud said. "I've never really experienced shoulder pain before. But it could have been a lot worse. It will be good to get this out of the way, and get back on the field soon."

Returning from the DL after 15 days, d'Arnaud added, is a possibility in his mind. But the Mets are not committing to a timeline, fully aware of how many injuries their starting catcher has suffered in his young career. Among d'Arnaud's library of past maladies are a partially torn knee ligament, a hyperextended left elbow, multiple broken bones and a concussion. He was hitting .196 through 13 games this season, with zero home runs and one RBI.

"It's always going to be wait-and-see, but there are two positions where arm injuries can be pretty devastating, and one's behind the plate," manager Terry Collins said. "We'll wait to see, rest him a few days, see how he comes out of that. And then when he starts to rehab back, you'll see how long it's going to take. It's certainly something we've got to keep a close eye on."

He ended up being out for 2 months after being placed on DL April 26, returning on June 21st.

Start praying.

I'm still not sure why Buck didn't just put Ubaldo in the game in the 8th with a 9-2 lead, just like he did against the White Sox with us leading 10-2 four days earlier. That seems to be the perfect time to use Ubaldo, and he's already stretched out like a starter, so you don't have to worry about pitch count too much. If Ubaldo would have struggled, then you put Ondrusek in the game. I guess Buck thought Ondrusek should be able to get the final 6 outs, but he could only get 1, which was the whole reason O'Day was needed in the first place.

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
