Martin out with broken wrist: Richie Martin is out with a broken bone in his right wrist. He was hurt diving back into first base in Friday night’s intrasquad. Originally, the Orioles though he had a laceration underneath a finger nail on his left hand.

So sad. I like Richie Martin and I was rooting for him. We don’t have any really good players on this team, but we have a lot of “feel good” guys that you really want to see do well. He had one o

Doesn't DJ Stewart make the cut for oversliding a ball and having it go off his head?

He went from a fingernail injury on his left hand to a broken bone in his right wrist...

That...Seems strange.

He had one of the two best defensive players last season, when he lunged to his left for a grounder, the grounder took a sudden hop to the right and he caught himself, spun in the other direction, got to the ball and nailed the runner. What a great play that was! And it wasn’t his only one either. I guess we’re not going to see him this season…

Apparently he felt the pain in the right hand yesterday when he tried to play catch.

So he dove headfirst into first base, collided with the re-bulked up Chris Davis, and injured both hands.

I had a minor wrist fracture 4 or 5 years ago.  About the most minor you can have, a non-displaced fracture (the end of the bone had a crack in it, as opposed to a displaced fracture where a bone is broken clean through).  I was in a small amount of pain bit I couldn't pick up anything heavier than a pencil.  I couldn't turn a doorknob with that hand.  I certainly would have noticed it long before trying to play catch the next day.  I did wait four hours before driving myself one handed to the hospital so I could watch Frank Beamer's last ever game, and it wasn't that painful just sitting there, more "discomfort" than pain.  But I couldn't use the hand for anything.  And that was supposedly about as minor a fractured wrist as one could have.  Perhaps a less important bone would have been different (mine was the radius).

I thought so too.   

Yeah, it does sound weird. I would assume he has both injuries. At first they could only tell that he had some kind of fingernail injury probably because they could actually SEE that one. Maybe his wrist was a little sore at the time, but they obviously didn't do an x-ray right there on the field.

 

I remember I broke my wrist in college and thought it was just a sprain. I didn't go to the doctor for about a week. Eventually I went in and had to have emergency surgery lol. I had no idea it was broken.

 

Hopefully he has a speedy recovery, but a wrist injury is no bueno. Takes time to heal, then rehab. Then you can try to play again. Might not be enough time for him this year.

Sounds like it's the Redskins doctors diagnosing this versus the Peter Angelos specialists.  Maybe that's how we are cutting costs now.

He won't play again this year. You are right.

That’s a shame. I didn’t necessarily expect big things from him but it’s have been cool to see him play alongside Iglesias. That’d have been some nice infield defense with Ruiz at third and Davis at first.

Those four guys combined for -14 defensive runs saved last season.  Maybe Martin would fit better at 2B but it’s still a below-average defensive infield at best.

Especially on his throwing hand.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Say O! · Posted

      Hyde is extension of front office and it’s analytics based decisions.  In-game maneuvers (BP matchups, pinch hitters, steals, baserunning sends) and daily lineups are evaluated every day and are reflection of probabilities/decision science informed by analytics dept.  If Hyde acted independently or went counter to those influences he would not be here.  The manager hunch or expertise is legacy artifact in todays game (at least for the Orioles). Now ongoing player development (or shortfalls) is where the other coaches/assts come into play both at major and minor league level.  These guys are also selected by the front office and I would expect some potential changes here that would be healthy as a result of Elias & team year-end review.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      Why not? And does he need 15 lbs or maybe only 5-7? Guys are adding velo all over baseball right now. If anything adding velo is probably the easiest thing for him to do in the off season. Jeez, I'd happily introduce him to friends at Driveline or TredAthletics tomorrow if he reaches out to me. 😃

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By tntoriole · Posted

      1.  Sign veteran bat(s). Preferably RH, 1b, 3b or corner.  Goldschmidt, Bregman .. but likely serious overpays needed.  Not opposing to it being Santander  2. Money 3. No more than 5 years  4. Pitching, pitching, pitching.  A top prospect like Basallo needs to return even better than Eflin with more club control. Crochet is the high end and anyone can go for him.    5. A top 10 budget if needed to address key additions.  Somewhere between 150 - 200 mil.    6. None— i think the emphasis needs to be on pitch selection and recognition .    7. Gunnar, but unlikely.. Adley.. Grayson  8. Reup McCann until Basallo ready.  9. Yes .. blue chip needed this y 10.  None of the ones you mention.

      I agree here that the spectacular failure should be cause for a hard look in the mirror. It couldn’t be explained away or deflected from. And that may help us in the long term.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      They can use a Ryan to backfill Christian Walker.    I think Suarez and Pederson were both so great helping them score near 900 runs they stay. I'm enthusiastic once again about Montgomery after the owner's sharp comments.    IRL that is a heavy lift for a GM to put a band-aid on the Club-Player relationship.     It hit me like kind of a Hail Mary to try and shun a guy coming off a bad season who has a high dollar 1-year player option.    I think Montgomery is still good at baseball, and that he had understandable hangover from heroic 2023 work amplified by the Boras awkwardness last winter. The odd circumstance makes Montgomery a SP on a 1-year contract who is much better than the typical caliber of pitcher on that term.    If that doesn't scream Mike Elias priority for the 2025 Orioles, I don't know what does.     An early look at the 2026 UFA SP on Spotrac - no 2025 stars on their walk year like '24 Burnes. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/_/year/2026/position/sp/type/ufa/sort/contract_value Elias my guess is will put in an offer that somebody like Brendan Fournie calculates has a low chance of acceptance, and Roch will write about the Orioles making their biggest contract offer in history after Burnes signs for much more with someone else.

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I really appreciate what Burnes did this year. But forgive me, unless pitching to contact is back in vogue, he doesn’t miss bats nearly as well as he used to. And front offices seem to pay attention to such things. For me, I think the contact he induces is valuable. But it seems like he’s lost a little bit of the feel for the hook, which was his put away pitch. That should ding his value a bit and would limit the amount I would spend on him.
