I’m out of the booth due to a rare infection in my spinal column caused by the Shingles virus. VERY thankful for O’s team docs and trainers who told me to get an MRI ASAP...showed Myelitis. I’m still

Good thing they caught it.

Palmer I think is an anti-vaxer. Hopefully his views have changed since this tweet

 

 

As am I. Thing is Shingles is totally preventable with adequate intake of Vitamin C. I wouldn't get those shots either.

Lets just all agree that vaccines would be a lot cooler if pharmaceutical companies weren't so terrible. If that's a compromise, let's bring it all back to baseball and hoping for the best for Mr. Palmer

My reasons are pretty well fleshed out at this point with evidence and am not at all ashamed of my position. I was just showing my support for Jim's position as well and of course, Palmer is the best. I hope he's around for many more years and I hope he gets better soon!

Not saying you are wrong at all; I've just seen this pattern before.  Only a matter of time till thread will be shut if people don't bring it back to Palmer.  Shame to see a Palmer thread shutdown.

Yes,keep it on Mr.Palmer. Don't need this turning into claims that are not based on studies and research.Do your own research and make up your mind based on reputable websites.

I do and I have. I wouldn't base it on anything else and if I do my own research, hours of it before I come to a conclusion which does include studies and research in peer-reviewed journals. I do not make knee-jerk emotional conclusions and I can and have defended my position successfully in the past. I was only supporting Palmer in what he said.

Vaccines are not politics. They are advanced science. Herd immunity is real.

I understand. Honestly, it's been well over a year since I thought about this topic at all as I'm pretty comfortable with my position on this. So, I won't be going down that road. Besides, the vaccinated have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated. Nothing. :) I think I'm just more pro-choice on the issue than "anti" anything.

Ben and Bordick. Ben spent part of the game broadcasting from the bullpen and that hangout behind centerfield. 

I thought that was pretty good talking to players in game. I liked when Ben asked the bullpen about their reaction when the phone rang. They all looked at him like lobsters were growing out of his ears. Luckily Fry helped out with the awkward moment by answering his question.

But back to the topic. Godspeed and well wishes Mr. Palmer.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.

      It sure does feel that way.

      They'd probably trade Witt for Gunnar. Then they could just offer Gunnar Witt's contract and we've been told a dozen times he would never turn it down. Win win!

      It's weird, I think some people have been spoiled, in a weird way.   People on here were making fun of the streak...glad it's over, tired of hearing about it...well, this is the flip side of the coin.   It's like people here think this team is above any kind of struggle, any kind of adversity...injuries shouldn't happen to us, can't happen to us, won't happen to us.  We've had it really good since Adley's call up and we've been one of the best teams in the game. 5 game losing streak has some people here on tilt.

      Maybe Witt, he's signed for 11 years.

      All those Yankees fans running their mouths about Volpe being better than Gunnar last year are awfully quiet this season.
