Friday, August 24: Rockies come to town

[TopGunnar]

Just saw another angle of the pitch. He does move his left knee/leg after he gets the ball back from McCann. Almost to try to shake it off. Idk, we’ll find out 

[dystopia]

My vote is for Webb for closer if Bautista goes IL.

Arm discomfort. Lovely.

Unfortunately I'm thinking elbow/arm more than lower body. Please no TJ. 

I could only listen on the radio and Newman & Garceau said it looked like knee or ankle.

Were they wrong (wouldn’t surprise me) and it’s something with his arm? 

[Aristotelian]

I really wish Elias had picked up a credible bullpen arm who could jump on to the closer role if needed.

[Kakes88]

Welp this sucks

Ben just speculated arm but then refused to speculate.

Cano or Webb probably.

Maybe Coulombe too. I hope it’s not serious, but I expect Hyde to go with a closer by committee approach during Bautista’s absence. 

[Aristotelian]

Arm discomfort per Hyde. Not going to say more.

Tyler Wells picked up the save tonight for Norfolk.

Yes. The way he was fidgeting with his fingers after the pitch is 100% a sign of an arm issue, and a nerve issue to boot.

Do you think all those Oriole teams we just lived through weren't trying to win?  (at the player/manger level)

I was venting frustration because we were losing.

A homer prone, pitch to contact closer? Not a good idea at all. I think you just have to go by committee. Sucks, man.
