Adam Loewen leaves with possible injury?

[Baltimore_Bob]

They just need to shut him down for the year if this keeps up. This is sad news.

[Burg]

That Matusz pick is looking better and better.

I think, and I hope I'm wrong, that Loewen will need to go the Ankiel route to ever have a shot at contributing at the big league level.

[CrazyTrain]

Either that or hand him a bat and send him to the batting cages.

The odds remain far - far - better that Loewen will contribute as a pitcher at the major league level than as a hitter/position player.

To think otherwise is delusional.

Loewen: left elbow discomfort. He'll be evaluated tomorrow.

[BaltBird 24]

They are saying he left the game with left elbow discomfort. Is it possible that we will ever see this guy healthy?

[EddeeEddee]

We have to admit the fact that Loewen is possibly a flop. How many injuries can a young pitcher endure? How many batters can he walk? He has never pitched at the major league level for any length of time without getting hurt. He has never had any sustained success.

I hope you're right. I really do.

Unfortunately, I have a sneaky suspicion that Loewen's pitching days are coming to an end.

I am NO expert, But I did not think he looked all that good in Bowie. IMO he was called up due to Albers injury!

[longflyball]

He has screws in his elbow. Has there ever been a successful major league pitcher with screws in his elbow?

[ChaosLex]

We might as well write off Loewen's inclusion in the future plans of this team. Over a year after surgery, with screws in his elbow, and feeling pain when he pitches. Not good.

Yep, I doubt it's no longer premature to label Loewen a "bust."

[BaltBird 24]

Yep, I doubt it's no longer premature to label Loewen a "bust."

I wouldn't consider him a bust just yet, but it's going to be awfully hard to pencil him into any future plans knowing that it's very likely that he'll be on the DL at any given time of the season.

[Sports Guy]

I am very close to saying put a bat in his hand.

[ChaosLex]

I am very close to saying put a bat in his hand.

Agreed.

No worries, I'll say it for you;

Loewen needs to go down to Frederick and play in the outfield.
