Spoone has been placed on the disabled list once again, according to Bowie's notes, with a shoulder injury. It is the second time this season Spoone has spent time on the DL due to his shoulder.

Color me nervous.

Yikes, that's not good. This will put him further behind and that's ashamed because his stuff looked really good a few starts back after coming back.

This would be the Orioles first major injury to a top prospect this year if he's done for the year.

Sorry we don't have any Brad Bergesen's to lone ya Mike! :wedge:

That does suck though about Spooney. Talk about a tough year he's having coming on the heels of a breakout 2007. Hope there's nothing too serious going on there. I imagine someone from Frederick (Schmidt/Clark) may come up unless Arrieta's about to depart.

I'll take whatever you can spare Adam!

Tomorrow's game in Akron will be interesting to watch. I anticipate someone will be up from Frederick to make the start and not only that, whoever gets the call will have to face Matt LaPorta in his Cleveland organization debut.

Unless he pitches tonight Mike, I'd expect Kyle Schmidt to be the guy to go take that start in Akron tomorrow. He hasn't pitched since July 3rd, and only pitched one inning.

I guess Kyle was edged out when Pedro returned?

Spoone said he felt the pain return during his last start, July 3rd at Harrisburg. Since then he's felt a "deep pain" in his shoulder. He will be going tomorrow to see a specialist to determine his next course of action.

I edited his lated profile update in the Prospect Tracker. Check there for Chorye's account of what happened.

Looks like Zach Clark and Wilfrido Perez will be joining the Baysox in Akron tonight.

    • 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.
    • 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.
