The Orioles haven't confirmed it.  And we may never get official confirmation one way or the other.  It is what it is.  But there is a documented increased risk of myocarditis from COVID-19 in athletes.  So with Occam's Razor and all it seems fairly plausible.   Glad to see he seems to be recovering ok now.  Here's to him storming on the scene in 2022.  It'll be like we are getting TWO high first rounders next year!

Small numbers but it has happened due to the MRNA vaccines too.

Obviously the Orioles would never confirm that it was from the vaccine even if it was, but the facts are that it is a possibility.

We don't even know if he got a vaccine.  This kind of speculation about his situation really should be avoided, imo.

Didn't he get it before the vaccines were even developed and available to the public?

Oh my bad, I retract!!!!!!!! 

Good lord. I think it's a safe assumption. The Orioles are offering to vaccinate fans that show up to games for the love of God. I'm not trying to be controversial here.

I didn't write the article. I'm not a scientist.

Lol, that's not exactly a retraction, and you just might have been overly defensive there.  Peace.

What is there to retract? I posted an article that suggested the MRNA vaccines may in rare cases cause Myocarditis.

I myself am fully Moderna'd for the love of God. Relax yourself.

Since he got it a long time before vaccines were available, I think we can cross that off the list.

All I am saying is that it is a (rare) possibility that he got it from the MRNA vaccine, just as someone said earlier there is a possibility he got it from having COVID. Which, I think, is also speculation.

Honestly, who cares how he got it? I don't. I just want him to recover and produce. The fact that he's swinging the bat again tells me that he's 100% recovered b/c the Orioles wisely wouldn't take a chance otherwise. That's a good thing. Now let's hope he produces.

I mean he could’ve had a time machine and travelled to the future to get the vaccine, then returned with the side effect. My main question is if he’s traveling in time, couldn’t he do something to keep us from being such a terrible franchise. Maybe get Biff’s sports book and tell Elias who to sign.

I think Mayo has serious bust potential. 

 

In so much as a fourth round pick can bust.

Love reading through these threads for nuggets like these.  Jammer deserves a gold star in this thread.  The speculation is scary!

No.  There is no chance.  Please stop with this line of inquiry.   Yes there is also a link with the vaccines (not as high of a link as with the disease btw) but Kjerstad got myocarditis before the vaccines were available to general public.

Gotcha.  I should have said the same thing to him about not speculating.  We're good.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      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).

      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.

      By Explosivo · Posted

      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.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      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.
