I heard if you bump this thread three times Alex Cobb gets a blister on his pitching hand.

Ominously barren injury list so far for the Orioles. 

If an Oriole is hurt how  can you tell. A reduction in performance? Would it be noticeable? Would Wade LeBlanc turn into a soft tossing lefty who can't break 90 mph if his arm was sore?

Perhaps many of the O's pitchers would be more effective with an injury? Could they really get worse than last year?

Usually I can tell because the reporters say "so and so has an injury" and then that player doesn't take the field for a period of time.

Sorry I was making a poor attempt at humor

Bottom line, the Orioles can withstand dozens of injuries with not effect to the W/L record because they are basically just a shade above AAA level talent

They also have something called the "Injured list".  Evidently it allows teams to take an injured player off the roster and replace them with someone that isn't injured.

It used to be called the "Disable list", from what I read they were thinking about calling it the "Cobb list" but "Injured list" won out.

A Mr. Positivity like you isn't happy with the Orioles?  Go figure.

Well that is, if I can be so bold... optimistic.  I am marking it down.  Hey everyone...Rick thinks the Orioles will at least be better than AAA talent this year.  I just knew you were a closet optimist.  I just knew it!!!!

Hyde also said today that right-handed rotation candidates Kohl Stewart and Asher Wojciechowski are each being pushed back.

“Wojo has a small, little blister. We want to do more of a controlled situation and not have it flare up on the mound in a game.

I don’t feel sorry for the Yankees, but I do feel sorry for Severino.     That’s two years down the drain after being one of the best pitchers in the league in 2017-18.
