I'm sure he's very disappointed.  No way he gets traded unless he's healthy enough to put a string of quality starts together.

It’s hard enough for this team to compete without losing starting pitchers to injuries.    Looks like we’ll be seeing Josh Rogers.   

[Moose Milligan]

Ugh, whatever.  I feel bad for Hyde, already having to manage like it's late August.

Cobb has some nagging injuries. Just get him healthy before he jacks up his arm.

HE’S disappointed?

Now we have…what, 60% of a rotation? And that’s if you’re being kind?

Can’t you just hear Hyde saying, ”NEXT MAN UP! Oh...Wright...I guess that’s you.”

Anybody but Wright. Anybody.

I've been shouting about this all offseason. Elias needed to add more arms. There's so little major-league-caliber pitching in this organization and if anybody goes down to injury - there's no Plan B. Now they have to hope Mike Wright can get through at least four innings every fifth day.

Insurance arms costs money and it looks like his budget only allowed for guys making under a million.

So weird how this mirrors my OOPT simulation for this year. I had to put Cobb on the DL no less than 4 times.

Josh Rogers is said to be coming up for Cobb. Hopefully he can pitch 5 innings every start.

Mike has a budget. There is now way he can bring in top talent. It costs too much. We just have to live with this year. It’s gonna be rough. But in 2 or 3 years we will have a lot better team. We will see the lean years were worth it. IMO

Not asking him to bring in top talent. But with how Free Agency went this offseason, I think the O's could have found a way to put together a few pennies to get a James Shields type guy who is historically durable and throws innings. I doubt that would have cost much more than what they're paying injury-prone Nate Karns to sit on the IL.
