Meoli: Baumann looks good throwing live BP

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.

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.

    • It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.
    • It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).
    • Haha, yeah--Try to "Mooo!" that and see what happens.
    • Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.
    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
