As a journalist most of my life, I'm shocked a professional sports team would be so secretive and that journalists at a major paper in Baltimore would not challenge the legality of this approach.

The NFL seems to be very open about injuries - every week of the season. There's no reason to keep secrets from the public that makes professional sports possible.

No they aren’t.  They disclose what they have to and nothing more than that.  Harbaugh never wants to discuss injury.

That being said, you should discuss as little about then as possible at that level fit competitive reasons.

At the MiL level?  There is no competitive advantage to worry about so be up front to everyone.

Heard a lot of good stuff about Joey Ortiz this spring and he’s lived up to it in the first week of the season with Aberdeen.   In 27 PA he’s hit .348/.444/.565.    Worth keeping an eye on!

I watched Ortiz play at NM State for 2 seasons. He has crazy speed on the bases and some of the quickest hands at SS that I have ever seen. He can also hit. Ortiz at SS and Nick Gonzales (Pirates) at

Bradish was drafted in the 4th round in 2018 (#121) and Ortiz 2019 in the 4th round (#118). Interesting to note that at one point, Ortiz, Gonzales, Bradish AND Tyler Irwin were all on the same te

Yes, Harbaugh doesn't have to say anything. The league puts out a list every week.

Yea but it can be very vague.  It’s not like they are up there telling you everything about the injury.  

I like hockey — all you get is “upper body injury” or “lower body injury.”   Very informative.

Right..these leagues tell you as little as possible.  As CoC said, it’s for betting purposes.

That being said, there is no reason for this on the MiL level.  The team should be more informative than it is being.

The Kjerstad situation is understandable.

They should be but I see no reason for MLB to mandate it so I don't expect it to change under this regime.

The good news in all of this is I watch a ton more games on Milb tv now that most teams have a broadcast so it's better for scouting and sometimes the announcers give you clues. 

The bad news is I used to be able to text the farm director to get tidbits about players health timetables and information on goings on within the system, now I get sent to the PR department and they tend to give "No updates".

It's just frustrating but the environment I'm learning to operate in while covering the team for you the fans.

You are much more patient than me. The broadcast quality is so poor at some of the stadiums that I can't even watch it.

Bowie is very hard and frustrating when I go to watch a Ironbird game with them playing at Greenville and they have HD and a center field camera. Aberdeen is quite bad as well which is surprising as I wouldn't think Cal Ripken would want his name behind such a poor broadcast.

Yeah, Bowie is what I was referring to. Brutal.

Matt Blood was on a podcast, On the Verge, which I recommend highly. Blood said, and I am paraphrasing, that he was sad that he was not going to see Ortiz play again this season. And I do not think the hosts caught it. I listened to it again, and he did say it.

Funny, I watched that interview a few days ago and didn’t hear the words “this season.”   Seems odd that a “shoulder strain” on his non-throwing shoulder would keep him out for three months.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
