It is beyond me why the Orioles EVER throw ANYTHING to him to hit

A pitcher could have inflammation or irritation or discomfort in his elbow or shoulder.   It could be something he could pitch through but doesn’t want to go on the IL.  It’s not any dumber than the myriad of conspiracy theories that you come up with.    If the pitcher says he’s not fatigued and says he feels fine, they probably aren’t going to run any tests so how in the world would trainers know he was injured.    
 

No one has said Hall is injured but I bet you think that’s possible.

Hall is in Sarasota.

If Wells was pitching in one and two innings stints in Sarasota I'd allow he might be injured.

The trainers are professionals who are trained for this sort of thing.  They have real time tracking of his velocity and pitch movement.  They are probably tracking his mechanics in his bullpens.  The technology is worlds beyond where it used to be. 

Even if Wells was stupid enough to try and pitch when injured I'd think they'd notice.

Your cynicism is duly noted.  

So you are just going to ignore the fact that Davis was on medication for his decline?

Typical.

Davis' decline happened when he was on "the drugs".

One of my biggest wishes is that a current member of the BBHoF would have enough guts to admit they used steroids.  Between the roids, HGH, uppers and the painkillers pretty much everybody was, and probably still is, on something.

Bonds' issue isn't the steroids, it's his personality.  The fans have forgiven plenty of roiders.

Which ones?

You aren't doing a very good job of it. 

What you are doing is ignoring the facts.

With whatever happens with Wells in the coming weeks, there's also the onion layer of using "injury" as a tool to explain to the public a run of ineffectiveness and/or role change.

It can't just be he's 29, has never completed a full slate of starts in the Show, and his recent effectiveness is job loss level.     He's been a big part of carrying the team to where it is.

Its funny what the game can ask you to do.   His first appearance of the season had team-heroic circumstances after Bradish got beelined.    As well as he's performed overall, and the competitors virtually all MLB guys are, it'll be bitter to go back to the pen.    His next turn is the finale of the 4-game set at Toronto.

As a Rule 5 rookie in 2021, 8 of his 12 walks were in the first 2 months.    From June 2021 to the end of the year, he was right next to Hader and Diaz as a Top 10-15 reliever in all MLB.     What's bigger than a rock but smaller than a mountain?

The only season I've heard of in which Davis didn't have a TUE was 2014.

You haven't shown me a single fact when Davis went off drugs.  

[Can_of_corn]

He didn't.

He didn't have a TUE in 2014 and still used and got caught and suspended.

YOU are the one that was saying he was off of drugs.

I'm honestly confused.

Did you forget what your point was supposed to be?

Of those 3, only Cruz has a good chance of getting to the HoF. Should be interesting to see how the PED suspension impacts that.

Interesting tangent.

I very much agree with this.....coaches are watching for anything that looks "wrong", and will remove a pitcher if something looks off.  Or, like last night, if they just suck.
