He was listed for yesterday’s game that ended up being postponed to today. 

How late in the day was that game called? Baumler might have already warmed up prior to game time, and then scratched for Thursday because of that.

He missed one last week already, no?

I guess so.  I only know that as of now, he's not listed on the 7 day IL and I would assume they would do that if he's going to be out for any length of time.

Good thing that babying these pitchers has prevented injuries!

Study after study has shown it makes NO difference. I can’t understand why they continue with the innings limits and pitch counts and all the rest. So frustrating.

Roch just tweeted he is officially on Delmarva’s injured list. No additional info given. No bueno. 

No good.  Probably tried not throwing for a week and whatever he felt was still there.   Pitching prospects are a battle of attrition.    I think the real strategy is to develop as many Dominican/Venezuelan pitchers as possible and see how many make it through.    

Astros

Jose Uquidy (signed at 20 yo FA)

Luis Garcia (signed at 20 yo FA)
 

Framber Valdez (signed at 21 yo FA)

Christian Javier (signed at 20 yo FA)

THIS is Elias longterm strategy for pitching.    That's 4/5 of the Astros rotation.  Pitchers who did not even get drafted as 16, 17, 18, or even 19 year olds.   Look in the Orioles system at Delmarva, FCL, and DSL.    They are doing the same thing.   Signing a large number of arms using whatever model and methods they have.   Sure, you might get the occasional Baumler or hope that someone like Denoyer pops but the great majority of arms will come from the Dominican and Venezuela and then it's just a battle of attrition.   There is a method to the madness but we need a bridge before these guys hit in a few years.   Until then we have to pray that we can find a rotation out of GRod, Hall, Wells, Kremer, Means, Bradish, etc.

Framber started one of the nationally broadcast Astros-Yankees games a couple weeks ago, and there was a graphic with their bonuses (they all signed for nothing) and the 2022 outcome that the quartet had thrown ~45% of team innings for a top contender.

No doubt 6-7 years back Luhnow lieutenants had intellectual capital around pitch shapes, metrics, whatever that allowed them to harvest this from "leftovers".   My guess is this knowledge is what Sig would call "table stakes" in 2022, but I hope our lieutenants have some other tricks up their sleeve.    I do like how Gunnar Henderson is developing, and Bryan Baker and Joey Krehbiel are stopping ghost runners from crossing in 10th innings.

    • 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.
