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

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.

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.

      Sadly, I feel like the window to extend Gunnar may have passed. Not to point fingers: we have no idea whether Gunnar and his agent ever had any intention of signing at any price, and who knows what constraints Angelos had put on Elias. Just seems like the opportunity for any kind of team friendly deal is fading rapidly.

      Kremer was very rarely missing low last night. It seemed like everything was up, even the splitter.

      Correct on the last part.  I almost mentioned that.  Apart from having the bench bats replace lower lineup guys, the lead-off hitter also has the best chance of seeing the SP a third time through the line up.

      Well said he only bats lead off once. The lead off Home Runs are partially a product of him batting with nobody on base( pitchers more inclined to challenge) If they adjust the OBP will go up and so will the steals. As far as a fifth AB who else would you want up, plus whoever is PH for our # 8 or 9 has Gunner in front of them.

      I would do both. Adley is 25 and looks like a Buster Posey kind of trajectory/career type. Obviously, by the back end of that deal (last 2-3 years) he will probably not be doing as much/the bulk of the catching (especially on a 10 year deal), to retain faces of your franchise/potential Hall of Fame players (at least Orioles hall of Famers), and maybe guys who one day get a statue out at the stadium is worth it to me. Especially considering how long it’s been since we had ANY. Ripken is the last one (over 20 years ago).  Gunnar is a no brainer IMO! He is 22 and already one of the best players in the sport. He may someday go down as the greatest player to ever wear an Orioles jersey. It is imperative IMO that you never let him walk out of the door (especially in his prime). IMO that would be franchise malpractice. It is extremely unlikely that you could find a player to replace him (be anywhere close to as good). He may be on pace for the greatest Orioles offensive season ever AND he’s only 22!

      Mullins would be perfect for this if he would hit to his career average. Once Holliday comes up, start him and Mullins 8-9. Once Holliday hits, he can be the leadoff hitter of the future with Adley and Gunnar 2-3.  A 9-1-2 of Mullins-Holliday-Gunnar would be pretty nice.  I agree, Gunnar has to be 1 or 2. Every spot you move him down reduces his predicted AB's by 11% and we don't want that. Better to have him hit more times even if it costs a few base runners than more baserunners/fewer ABs.

      Really well said and agree on all.  I too noticed the right leg almost always going to first base as he overswung (really I noticed it his first spring training game) compared to striding more straight towards the pitcher.
