Any doctors on this board? Could inflammation mask the presence of a tear? 

I’ve torn it in both knees. I can promise you that you can feel it catch. My surgeons confirmed my symptoms during a consultation. I recall them both saying we will clean up what we find during the procedure.

No offense to Mr Straily, but he certainly knew if it was torn and I’m quite certain that the Orioles didn’t force him to pitch injured.

I feel like if this happened under Dan Duquette's watch instead of Elias' people's reaction would be different 

How so?    Most people haven’t reacted at all, and rightfully so at this point.  Not enough of information to really have much of a reaction.

Just kind of more anger/suspicion under the old regime and more of meh whatever under the new regime. Or I am just looking too much into it and this is just nothing at all.

Well, if this was news that was current and involved an important player I think people would care.   But we’re talking about Dan Straily, who played here for a couple of months in 2019 and we were paying him the major league minimum.   Hard to get very worked up now, especially since it’s not clear who was at fault.   

I did note that the O’s changed some of their medical staff this offseason.

This is hilarious.  For years people have been complaining that the Orioles went overboard with their conservatism regarding medicals.  Remember the whole Balfour BS?  Now, the Orioles are supposedly not conservative enough?   Come on.  It's absurd to believe that the Orioles would knowingly force a guy like Straily to pitch with a serious Injury.

This is the season for even more outrageous comments than normally.  I guess it gives some people something to talk about.  Yes I  remember those physicals, and I said at  the time,  better to be safe than sorry.   I agree with your assessment of the situation back then.

      We have the best inside the Mayo family source there is.  @Roy Firestone have you heard anything about an imminent Coby Mayo promotion?

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      No they don’t but it would be a big help.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I don't really want to see an all in trade given the risk involved with picking up any pitcher in the game right now. I want to see if veteran players on a big contract are an option now with Rubenstein. A player like Max Scherzer should be on the table as a means to add another viable starting pitcher. I have to think under Angelos a player like Scherzer would be too expensive and a nonstarter. I'd rather pay $$$ for some high priced veterans over giving up top prospects for one pitcher that you pray doesn't get a sore elbow.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I’m not an actuary. That’s @Filmstudy realm. He’s a master at calculating odds. Here’s what I will say. I think (just my two cents) that Elias should be aiming to come away from the trade deadline with a starting pitcher who is a real difference maker. And hopefully a bullpen arm or two that have power/strikeout stuff (unlike all of our relievers currently not named Kimbrel). Elias should be trying to increase our odds as high as possible. I don’t know by what percent our odds will increase. But I do know that if we add a top of the rotation type pitcher to what we have, the odds of us likely being successful against ANY TEAM in the Fall will go up. This again is just my opinion (for whatever that is worth) but it sends the right message to the players that you are invested in truly trying to get this team over the line (World Series trophy). If the message that is sent to the players continues to be “one foot in and one foot out”. I’m not sure if that is a strong appeal to ultra competitors like Gunnar and Adley. People might say well who cares what the players think? But it is probably going to play a roll (what they think/how they feel) in whether or not they are willing to re-up here longterm. And I can’t envision a version of the Orioles that is as strong and as viable to maximizing the earnings/value of the franchise without them. I’ve said this before, but I attend a lot of games and I’m around town very often. I see all of the #2 and #35 shirts on people’s backs in the stadium and around the community. Lastly, I believe that it is very important that we do right for players like Stowers and Norby. I get and I’m sure they understand that there may not be a place for them on the Baltimore Orioles. But you can’t leave guys buried at AAA for years and never give them a chance, especially when we are talking about prime years. These guys only have so many years to make money by playing the game. If you can’t use them, send them elsewhere. I have never been a big believer that you get rewarded by treating people (and that is what all the players actually are) wrong.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By TopGunnar · Posted

      Holliday isn’t being traded lol. And I highly doubt Mayo is traded. Basallo is expendable to me. We have Adley.

      Seems logical with the lefties coming up. It's time. Get him a taste before the AS break, temporarily option someone, then make a deal at the deadline to jettison someone like Urias.
