Because this thread is about Jorge Mateo, I’m going to say that on April 16, 2023, he is the most electrifying player in all of MLB. I hope he keeps it up. Even with his struggles last year, he has al

I don't want to jinx Mateo.   The good sign with him as that while he pulls the homers to LCF and doubles down the line, he continues to get hits to RF.   He still swings at the high fastball almost n

I didn’t see it.  Was this non contact?  (Agree with everything you are saying here too..that would make me more nervous about the injury)

Yeah he was just running down the first base line.  Only made it like 3-4 steps, winced and pulled up, and was out of the game.  I initially thought groin or hamstring.

Non-contact injuries scare me.

I don't know.   I'd be more concerned if he collided with the first baseman and had a hip injury.    I guess we'll see but I'd hope it was just some kind of muscle strain or pull.

What muscle is in your hip?  Isn't that more of a labrum?

A hip strain occurs when one of the muscles supporting the hip joint is stretched beyond its limit or torn. Strains may be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the injury. A severe strain can limit your ability to move your hip.

I'm no doctor and neither are you.  I'm sure there is something you can strain in your hip area.

How do you know?  I actually am a Doctor!  Just not a medical one.

Let's hope it's minor and he doesn't have to go on the IL.

Yea there are plenty of muscles in the hip area that are vital to propelling the legs and are considered core muscles. 
 

For reference Luis Robert had a non contact, grade three hip muscle strain last year and missed at least 3 months.

Well, let's hope it's not that severe.

I believe 3 of the next 4 are against left handed pitchers.  So you'd think they'd make the decision whether to bring up Ortiz soon.  Will be interesting to see if he plays tonight against Rochester. 

It was a day game for Norfolk today, and Ortiz did play, going 2 for 3 with two walks.  But he easily could be in Baltimore for a game tomorrow if needed.

Yet another reason why the average fan wants every player to “run it out” every AB on 162. Damn, I wish the local writers didn’t Eddie Murray outta town for “that”.

The animated graphic with the Savant sliders was fun, and new to me you could dropdown toggle years like that.

Mateo progressing on the One True Path to maximizing air balls to your pull side as the tidbit he's doubled from 30 to 60% in that subset of batted balls shows.     

This is a fantastic article.  Among other things, it noted that Mateo had a couple of heaters last year, but explains in detail why this looks different.  Here’s a quote from it:

“Mateo is definitely outperforming his expected stats, but those expected stats are still way, way up. His walk rate is also up significantly from last year, and his strikeout rate is down a massive 11.8 percentage points. His strikeout rate did dip this low during last year’s hot streak, but his underlying metrics didn’t change the way they have this year.”

Lots of details in the article, and like Just Regular said, the slider graphic is really fun.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
