I figured this deserved its own thread instead of being buried in the “Alex Wells 2021” thread. If I am wrong, please let me know @Tony-OH

Obviously last night wasn’t a good situation and the fact it is postponed today is a bit concerning. Hoping for the best for him and everyone involved, including the first responders, medical personnel at the hospital, the Bulls, Tide (especially Cumberland who had the hit) and most importantly, Zombro and his family, including his wife who was at the game.

Finally found my password after years of being idle just to post about this.

I was at the game last night, and it was one of the scariest things I've ever seen.  The whole place was so quiet you could hear not just the ambulances flying down to the stadium but a pin drop.  At first you didn't know what happened, perhaps just a shot off the shoulder or arm, but then seeing all the fielders's reaction, especially catcher Brett Sullivan's just holding his head in disbelief, you knew something was different.

Scary that today's game is cancelled given the reports last night said he was in at least stable condition.  Prayers going out to everyone, especially Zombro and his family

A further update on his long road to recovery:

Thanks for posting this. I was curious about if this also had an impact on Brett Cumberland, who hit the ball.

In May, Cumberland was hitting .254. Not great, but since then, Cumberland hit .194 in June, .161 in July and now .135 in August.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      Mike Elias has irritated Adley Rutschman in all 3 of his MLB seasons trying to extract "more retained value" for his boss's bottom line, and wonders why Adley isn't excited to sign away club options on his entire career.    Gunnar Henderson too. It might be a nice gesture to work Basallo in a little earlier next year because adjusting to MLB competition is very hard. James McCann is pretty cool, and I hope he can find more opportunity to further his career next season than playing backup for the league's best starter. EBJ isn't as promising as Basallo, but he is good enough to have a fair chance for 2026 Rookie of the Year in the final season of this CBA, especially with the counting stats boost the 2026 Orioles lineup will give. After that who knows what the rules will be, but definitely top athletes will love geeks figuring stuff out to determine how their careers should progress.

      Yes, he was unavailable for last night's game because of neck discomfort.

      I am pretty sure we are in with a win and Mariners loss.  I have seen 2 Mariners losses because if we have to go up against Astros in head to head, if Mariners win division but that doesn’t make sense since a loss gives them 76 which we can’t get too.   The # 1 WC depends on if the West is won by the Mariners or Astros but it most likely is 3 if one of the wins is vs the Tigers or Twins.

      Now that Roy is hopeful, there is no hope. The curse is in.

      Right. 1. Rivera consistently plays over Mayo.  Whether justified or not, he’s clearly higher in the pecking order right now. You don’t cut the second-string player to keep the third-string player.  (Obviously Mayo will be the better long term player and has the better pedigree but we’re talking specifically about the next two weeks). 2. Mayo has an option and Rivera doesn’t. Rivera provides depth going into next year, provides some flexibility to trade Urias if the right offer presents itself, and does several things well as a role player (even if perceived by fans with stigma of waiver wire scrub).

      I agree. Nothing to lose by trying to claim him.
