Baumler scratched from his start today?

[flaoriolesfan]

Wasn't  Baumler supposed to pitch for Delmarva today, hope he is not hurt again.

[Frobby]

He was listed earlier today.  Hmmmm 

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

Uh oh. Please no.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

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.

As of now, he is not on the 7-day IL so I'm assuming only 1 start.

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.

I read that with the rainout last week they did not want to start him on a different day so they skipped him but now this week he will miss his second start in a row.

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.
