Guess I threw the tread off track a little. Just got miffed at seeing both the Maryland men and women lose this week because they missed a bunch of FT's. Usually if a Terp team loses it's because of turnovers, missed free throws or a combination of both.

Weeks for a mild sprain is still kind of rough. I dont know how you stop hand injuries from sliding until you go feet first.  

Is a feet first slide really safer?

"....Nick Senzel, Reds
Cincinnati's top prospect -- and MLB's Pipeline's No. 6 overall -- left a Minor League game Monday with a right ankle injury he suffered while sliding into second base.

After a source told MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal that X-rays on Senzel's ankle came back negative, the club announced Tuesday the 23-year-old will be in a boot for the next week or two as part of the recovery process. He is expected to need several more weeks after that to be able to return to game action."

Why aren't all players in the organization required to wear sliding mitts on both hands?

It's tough to grab your crotch with a mitt on each hand.

2+ weeks since the injury. Any status report? Is he still wearing a device on his hand? When will he be cleared to throw or swing a bat?

I said it would be months, and I still believe that.

If and when there is news, someone will mention it. Most likely still isn't hitting yet, or it would of been reported.

Definitely vague.  I’m assuming the tweet meant he will be playing soon, but almost sounded like a promotion tweet...which seems impossible. 

Very vague.    Possibly encouraging but who knows?

Sounds like what they told him when they sent him down ... before he got hurt.

Am I misremembering, but wasn't there a time in baseball when bases actually were bags? They had a little give to it upon impact. Seemed they were some kind of plastic mesh and soft padding that were tied into the ground with a spike and straps. They seemed far safer than these hard monstrosities they put into the ground with the bar / receptacle. Go back to that. MLB can afford something a tad less flimsy the hand me downs we had for bases as a kid in Little League and high school.  

An old article, but it talks about the issues with the current bases and does mention the old ones.

Interesting article. Amazing that it’s been almost five years from its publication and from all appearances, the bases remain the immovable object. Even something like Velcro or 3M tape on each of the four corners (under the base) would hold it in place until someone plows into it. And I said, something more forgiving like the old bags themselves would be a huge improvement. I see in their piece that Buck was an advocate of finding something safer even then. That long list of injuries cited in the article would seem to be a red flag for the players’ union to step up for advocating a change. If that was mentioned, my apologies. I only got 3/4 through the article due to a tight deadline today.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      I wouldn’t call that a “real strength”. Trade Perez and get a better arm to replace him.

      But that RH bat played a position that we had locked down because of the presence of Urias and Westburg. He wasn’t going to come up and play. If you wanted him to be the RH DH, that’s fine but the Os also lost Mounty and Mayo didn’t come up and play well. They decided that having those 4 players was enough depth to use Norby to get pitching. I don’t see that as being wrong at all…no one to predict what would happen after. They had that “position” locked down. Jimenez was just a lottery ticket and really he played a lot more than they probably thought because of all the injuries that occurred.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The 2025 bullpen looks like a real strength. R - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Webb L - Coloumbe, Soto, Perez, Akin I like having the 4 lefties with the WALL and that should be enough for the regular season.  It allows us to really matchup and take advantage of our ballpark. That’s a pen with 4 former All Stars. I believe Akin will still have an option since he made it through the season without burning his last one.  He’d be the guy to go down to AAA for a longman/fresh arm when needed. Maybe we get our lightning in a bottle reliever throwing near 100 in McDermott or Morfe later in the year. I don’t think we see much turnover here.  However, I could see Elias electing not to bring back Soto for flexibility reasons, more so than salary reasons.  Could we actually “sell” Soto for something of value?

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By eddie83 · Posted

      https://www.masnsports.com/blog/reviewing-orioles-recent-coaching-history-and-thoughts-on-what-s-next From Roch.    An immediate reaction to the current openings is that Triple-A Norfolk manager Buck Britton could be a candidate to fill one of them. They also could seek a bilingual coach now that González and Hernández are gone. Britton’s contract expires at the end of the month and he’s close with the young hitters who passed through Norfolk. He’s also gained the respect of other teams in the majors and could move on, which would leave the Orioles with another task.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      If we don’t resign Burnes then what are we doing as a franchise?  It’s hard to see any difference between Rubenstei and what we had before. A case can be made for not bringing back Santander.  Heck, even Soto, but with our SP injuries, and the way we’ve spent our draft capital, the plan looked to be to always land that big time SP from outside the org.  Well that happened.  Gotta keep him now.

      He called it a solid trade at the time it was made and he’ll die before he admits he was wrong about something.

      There was a need for a RH bat. We used a major league ready RH bat (who was also serviceable in the field) in the trade for Rogers. We added a bad RH bat, who was not able to play defense at all.  Neither Eloy or Rogers were able to keep their spot on the roster, and we had two guys go down that would have opened spots for Norby. So yes, it does have something to do with the Rogers trade.
