That was great of him to be there.  Felix truly is a class act. 

So, I speak *some* Spanish - mostly just basic conversations.  I usually listen closely to interpreted interviews like this as a learning exercise.  Of the native-Spanish speaking Orioles of recent years, I've always found Felix to be the easiest to comprehend - very smooth, relaxed way of speaking without a sharp accent.

Ulnar nerve transposition is surgery to relieve pressure on one of the three main nerves (ulnar) in the arm by moving it from behind the elbow to the front.

Hmmm.  If they say it’s no big deal who am I to argue.

Anyone else think RZNJ might have been hacked?

Nah...  The good doctor just needed a new Benz.

I go with the experts.  If a doctor or anyone who presents evidence that this is a big problem I’m willing to listen.  Until then, no big deal.

Masterful Friday afternoon news drop.

I had ulnar nerve transposition surgery in 2015 or so. I was out of work for 2 weeks then back MDT (light duty) for 8 more weeks before I was back on full duty. I obviously don't throw a baseball 100 MPH but there are plenty of times when the job is quite physical.

Have also had one.

One of the more minor surgeries I’ve had — the only real long term “arm” effect has been that my actual elbow feels somewhat numb (I assume because one of the primary nerves is no longer there).  I don’t feel as though I’ve lost any strength or dexterity in my arm.

I do have a bit more feeling in my hand, which was the point of doing the surgery because the nerve was impinged. I don’t think that would be a bad thing for Felix, but I guess any change could be an obstacle for someone who makes his living gripping and manipulating a ball with that hand?

I'm not certain, I can grip my gun as well as ever while shooting, etc. I don't feel any loss of strength either. I don't have the numbness in the elbow, though. I had the surgery because I also had tingling in the hand and even bending my elbow would make it feel like I smashed my funny bone.

Would love to get Bautista talking to Aaron Rodgers to get him back on the field ASAP.
