Nope, nothing is for certain. But I’m trying to imagine good scenarios here and my mind just keeps going to dark places. 

Maybe they were debating to have Tommy John preemptively or to wait for the inevitable. 
 

give it some time, they are super cautious so could be nothing.

Trying to stay positive. It does occur to me that if it’s a worst case scenario, we could have seriously lucked out by having it occur before he was promoted. Hopefully it’s a simple stomach bug or something though. 

If it's the worst case scenario he never pitches again.

That's what worst means.

He looked like he had his stuff through 4.  5th inning looked different  fastball didn’t pop and off speed wasn’t sharp.  Top 6 first slider wasn’t sharp and then the89  BP fastball.  I think best case scenario is that he all of the sudden felt sick to his stomach, but sure doesn’t seem like that is the case.

Oh come now. You know what I’m talking about. I just won’t say it cause I’m not messing with the baseball gods. My point is simply that if this is serious and it happened in Baltimore, we’d lose over a year of control while he doesn’t throw a single pitch for us.

    • It’s not someone we drafted, but Ryan o’Hearn had hit .211 over 4 seasons after a promising rookie debut. He struck out between 24% and 28% over those 4 years. Yes that is in the mlb, not college. And yes, some of o’hearns batting average gains have been due to the elimination of the shift, but he’s been a .275 hitter the last two years with the orioles. Beyond that, in his first season with the o’s he cut his k rate to 22% (a career low at the time) and subsequently has only struck out 13% of the time this year. He gets protected from lefties, but it still shows a pretty unbelievable improvement in his k rate (particularly because I think the royals were protecting him against lefties somewhat too).  Are Vance’s issues swing recognition? Miss rate in zone? Out of zone? I haven’t really done the research, but I would say o’Hearn is at least an example that might give us hope. 
    • Show me the 20 threads I started complaining about Hays’ playing time.   Then we can make that analogy.   
    • Agree that Westy (and Grayson) are on that cusp if they are not playing in the next two+ weeks, especially with their overall MLB experience. Hope this all plays out for the better!
    • According to spotrac, he hasn’t even entered arbitration yet. If this is right we don’t even have to enter arbitration with him until 2026.    https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/player/_/id/19731/albert-suarez/contract/summary
    • Tonight was one of the worst pitching performances I’ve ever seen.  I’m glad we treated Nastrini just as rudely as Norfolk did.  
    • The thing about Povich is he’s capable of having very good command one game and very poor command the next.  I really can’t think of one non-competitive pitch he threw tonight.   In that Dodger gsme he must have thrown 15 pitches that were 6+ inches off the plate or 6+ inches high.   
    • Two games down, one to go. Don’t let up, don't feel sorry for them, don’t take your boot off their necks until they’re on the way out of town. A month ago these same sorry sacks put a 12-spot on the Yankees and they’ll do the same to us if given half a chance.
