Some radar gun readings would tell us alot about his elbow health wouldnt it? 

They wouldn't hurt. I remember when I heard about Pop's lack of velocity in 2019 spring training and then at Bowie despite the good numbers, the velo was down. Then of course, boom, pop went the elbow.

I agree with both points here, but I hope such  "live" BP session is a step forward and it honestly sounds like he's about where he would be if he's totally healthy.

Right.   I was prepared to hear he was throwing long toss or on flat ground as part of a progression that would get him on a mound in a couple of weeks.   To hear he’s on a mound throwing to live batters is very good news.

He says he is healthy.

What do you want him to say? He's 25 y/o trying to make a MLB roster for the first time in his career.  A significant arm injury doesn't bode well for his future, seeing he'd be 27 after a full lost year due to rehab.

A little more on his health.

Even this reads "hey, we see some damage.  Don't use your arm for a couple months and we'll see how it goes."  That bodes far better for a guy trying to make it to the big leagues, than having precautionary surgery for his partially torn UCL, when he was starting to make a bit of a name for himself.

I don’t see a reality in which he avoids TJS this season at some point, unfortunately. 

Spoken like a true Orioles fan! In my mind, any good young pitcher we have is 100% slated for TJS unless, miraculously, it never happens.

      If you're going to cry, you could at least be factually correct about the things you're crying about.

      Agree. Unfortunately, they sucked more when he caught.

      Elias: It's on me

      I was just asking for clarification.  So it seems you're asking for changes that aren't able to be implemented in the off-season and can't be evaluated well into next season. That's fine so long as you're ready to be disappointed this off-season.

      I don’t think the OH brother ship can be categorized as the “average fan”.    I think posters here are quite a bit beyond. I don’t think the average fan is regularly posting on a fan site

      The One Trophy Blues

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Drungo's One Trophy label for the setup of US sports playoffs was new lingo to me recently, and Adley and Gunnar have a long way to go to get near the Active WAR leaders, who also in brilliant careers have zero dogpiles.     Many of them this week we get to see killing themselves for one taste.     Rundown of the top notables, with career rWAR as the top tier of 2024 Clubs begin play today. 86, Mike Trout - his life is his to do with as he chooses, but as a baseball fan I'm rooting for him to go another path before it is too late. 62, Paul Goldschmidt - way past peak.    The 2025 Orioles may be one of few teams with very high playoff odds to want him for a starting role if a Zero Ryan path is charted.    Much more so than any current Oriole, he's been what we hope Coby Mayo might become. 57, Manny Machado - a yardstick of the Dodgers' greatness.    Players like him or Trea Turner or Corey Seager, Andrew Friedman's judgment sometimes is "Nah, not good enough". 56, Nolan Arenado - guaranteed 3/74 on the rest of his contract, perhaps waiting for a buy-side trade.     Declared lame duck GM scenarios are unusual. 52, Jose Ramirez - a player who has devoted himself to one small-market team, and that Club's unquestioned leader, something the Orioles don't have yet.      Some of Adley's teammates and ex-teammates might be salty about recent choices. 52, Aaron Judge - an amazing early 30's peak - problems for the Orioles if he endures like Nelson Cruz or Barry Bonds.    Career health track record has some dings. 51, Bryce Harper - a Manny Machado bookend in my baseball fandom.    They've grown from brash kids to serious professionals - both played much of 2024 less than 100% same as Adley. 49, Francisco Lindor - so close along with Jose Ramirez against the Bryant/Rizzo/Hyde Cubs.     The back strain poetic considering the carrying he's been doing as David Stearns gets ready for his first full off-season running Steve Cohen's club. 49, Andrew McCutchen - nearly the Jose Ramirez of the Pirates.   Nice to see him winding down respectably there.    I'll have generally good wishes for him if he pushes to get to be Paul Skenes teammate for a full season. 44, Giancarlo Stanton - he is upright today, the main thing Brian Cashman cares about.    rWAR has his last 3 seasons worth less than 1 WAR. 43, Shohei Ohtani - one of the greatest players ever has made some choices none of these other greats have to try and tilt the odds in his favor.    His MLB postseason debut is tonight.    Kind of a fun fact rWAR this moment has him at half Trout. It is possible none of these guys escape this list if the Royals or Tigers come through.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Rogers 🤮   if we have that rotation I’m betting our win total takes another 5-10 game step backwards
