He's trying to avoid pulling a hamstring.

He's had a nice start no doubt statistically in the first two games. However, in the 8th inning last night though, he made a poor swing decision that actually ended up becoming an RBI single. So how w

I know everyone thinks highly of Buck Britton, but I gotta question the wisdom of having Diaz stealing multiple bases after a hamstring injury. Or walking across a room without the accompaniment of a physician. 

I’m not usually one for quoting myself but I really wasn’t going out on a limb with this….

Well, I don’t blame Britton one whit, but you certainly pegged the injury.   

Honestly I don’t know what you can ever do with a guy this unreliable.   He’s a different case than someone like Hays or Santander, who’ve had random different injuries.   This guy has had one leg injury after another.   There’s every reason to think it will continue.

Agreed, and it’s likely that even when he is playing his overall performance will be tempered by the frequency of his health issues. I’m not advocating releasing him, but he can’t be counted on with a regular position of his own long term. Hopefully he runs into a stretch of health/productivity and we can trade him for an area of need.

Does anyone know if he had a history of injuries when he was with the Dodgers?

Not sure what the injuries were, but when he was with the Dodgers:

Placed on IL twice in 2016 (7 days and then a little over a month)

Placed on IL once in 2017 (Almost a whole month)

Placed on IL once in 2018 (Little over a week)

Thanks.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised about his time in the O's system.

There was a reason a guy the Dodgers spent over $40 million on was available for a rental.

If that doesn’t illustrate how starkly different the two organizations are, I don’t know what does.

Org A spends $40mm on an international lottery ticket and trades him away for one month of a playoff run.

Org B major league rosters is $40mm.  
 

So depressing to be an Orioles fan.

Maybe he can get a special exemption and use a scooter on the basepaths.

No doubt when Diaz was traded by the Dodgers, someone brought up that he cost $31 million to obtain.  I'm sure the reply was "it's only money" and do you want us to trade someone who will be good in the majors.  Without knowing what happened behind the scenes, it seems like the O's were steered toward Diaz.

Wasn't exactly a huge market for a Machado rental that year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
