Maybe he's broke?

The two-time All-Star and 2016 ALCS MVP with Cleveland will be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time as he tries to regain the feel for his pitches.

“The sensation I have throwing a baseball now just isn’t consistent with what it is when I know I’m good,” Miller said.

Miller struggles to describe the feeling he experiences when releasing the ball. It’s not pain. There’s no burning or tingling. It simply doesn’t feel right.

Scheduled to pitch in relief on Monday, Miller cut short his warm-up after several tosses badly missed his target.

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

Not a perfect comp but I see some similarities between 19 Nats and 83 Orioles. MiL systems not good Aging position players around a couple of stars. Eddie, Cal - Soto, Turner. Nats starting pitchers m

Cobb was supposed to be the Orioles’ Opening Day starter in 2019 but missed all but a few starts because of a hip injury that eventually required season-ending surgery. He’s done most of his work on the back fields since his debut, and will once again pitch a planned simulated game Friday instead of facing the New York Yankees on the road to avoid facing an opponent he’ll see early in the regular season.

Never been a fan of this approach. Let's just see the guy pitch. The Yankees are going to murder us no matter what we do. Why are we worried about the Yankees seeing Cobb? They already know what he throws, there's databases full of info on him. Just throw the guy out there.

If you’re playing fantasy baseball and even thinking about drafting Cobb just save your money and take up a new hobby. 

..or really ANY Oriole for that matter (now that Mancin's on the shelve). In shallow fantasy leagues no one on this team should be owned.

Verlander with groin surgery a few days ago and now Sale with TJ.

 

Least surprising injury ever.  The guy's arm looks like it's going to explode on every pitch.  That new contract was supremely dumb.

Seems like the Red Sox were trying to avoid the inevitable with Sale. At least he is getting the operation now in a year where who knows when the season will start and the Red Sox look like they aren't trying to win.

If the experts don't recommenced surgery you don't have surgery.  Even if it means in three months you end up having surgery.

I agree.

Price gone, now Sale gone.

Not going to shed any tears for them.

If I had bet money, I would have figured Price with his windup, would have been next on the TJ list.

But, just shows you, that I can be wrong. ;)

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Do you actually the MLB postseason?  Most teams get their starters out by the 6th inning.

      The whole “the key with Crochet” is exactly why trading for him makes no sense. On top of that, how does he bounce back next year after throwing so many more innings than he ever has? Im not questioning his talent, his upside, age, service time or anything.  It’s all on the side of the team that has him. But they are going to want multiple top 50 type prospects for a guy with ace potential and a lot of service time.  His name shouldn’t even be mentioned imo.

      Suarez has not had one single quality start this season. While I love what he has given us, he is the classic definition of a “5 and dive” pitcher, which is fine, especially for the regular season as long as you have other starters (like Burnes) who can give consistent length. The problem with that for the post season is that forces your middle relievers into the game against teams with the best offenses. I’m not confident that the odds are necessarily stacked in our favor in some of those matchups. But hey you never know, Akin sure surprised me on Friday with a stellar outing.

      What do the Rangers do at the deadline? Do they just stand pat and hope next year goes better?

      I don’t think he’s worth Holliday/Mayo/Basallo level just because of the injury/innings limit concerns, but he’s pitching this year like one of the best SP in baseball and has 2.5 years of control (which will be cheap years in arb, considering he’s gone through once at just over league min).  The key with Crochet is he has to still be starting in the playoffs to get full value from him then. That means either you let him keep rolling and hope the innings don’t catch up, or you do load management by some combination of skipping starts, pitch count limits and/or shifting him to the pen. I could see a team using Crochet as a RP until September and then stretching him back out before the playoffs when you have expanded rosters to help bridge the innings during the initial shorter starts. But it’d be pretty wild to see a team pay what it’s going to take for him to then immediately shelf him like that.

      This has been discussed a ton over the years.  It hasn’t been many but there have been a few. Jared Weaver was one. Searching through here or on google will give you the info.     But none of that matters imo. He’s not turning down that contract.  There is nothing but upside for him with that type of deal.  Now, maybe instead of 7 guaranteed years, we now get 6 (ie, we didn’t sign him to the deal before this season started, so that’s one less guaranteed year on the deal) but he’s not turning it down.

      Zero chance he turns it down.  The money in that deal is essentially his best case scenario. Zippy chance.
