I seem to remember him having to leave a game early at the end of Feb cuz he wasn't feeling well.  He hasn't pitched in a game since, right?

Now it looks like a blister is causing him to miss his scheduled start today.

Has anyone gone and checked the seam height on the balls for this year?   I know that's been an issue for him in the past...………...

Reports are that they are higher than last year.

He threw 4 innings in a simulated game on the 6th, so he was healthy enough to do that.   Hyde claims that the blister was very small and in a regular season game he would have gone today.

He pitched a sim game today.   They just didn’t want him on the road or in circumstances where he might not be monitored as carefully to make sure the bluster doesn’t get worse.   They did something similar with Wojo before.

If this thread had a soundtrack it would be the Violent Femmes "Blister in the Sun" ;)

Scratch that. How 'bout Blister on the Mound :)

When I'm out pitching

I scrape my thumb

And I'm so bummed out

And even the sight 

Of a baseball

Makes my hands break out

Let me go on like a

Blister on the mound

Let me go on (on on)

Soft hands, I know I'm the one

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      The Boys are back and you're going to be in trouble.  Hey-la Hey-la. The Boys are back.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
