Doctor here.  The medical literature distinguishes between partial and complete tears, and whether the tear is proximal or distal.  We don't know the extent of the injury.  There is medical literature

Gotta wonder if this opens the door for McDermott at all?  If he comes to camp and is impressive, he could find himself on the OD roster.

You never know but I still kinda doubt it. This just puts Irvin and Wells back in the running for the rotation, i.e. the status quo pre-Burnes. I don't see Elias making a 40 man roster addition unless absolutely necessary and we're not there yet.

Go get Cease.  Offer up Cowser or Kjerstad to lead the package and get it done.  You have the ability to do it and you have the need now..not to mention he is here next year, which helps with the loss of Burnes.

If you get lucky and Bradish comes back this year, even better.

Cease is definitely back in the fold.  Especially since it looks like both Cowser and Kjerstad will start the season in the minors.  Trading one of them for Cease is definitely prospect value well spent.  

Cease isn't a realistic option. 

Getz's previous demands for him were already silly and that was when he had much less leverage.

It's Ryu/Lorenzen/Clevinger or bust now.

RIght now the OD rotation looks like Burnes, Grayson, Kremer, Wells, Irvin.

Bradish throws a lot of sliders..gotta wonder if that has anything to do with this?  Does it put more stress on the elbow?  
 

I have to admit, while I always worry about pitchers injuries, Grayson was the one that I was really worried about.  Hopefully that doesn’t come to fruition.

The "data" I am referencing is the fact that the overwhelming majority of UCL sprains still result in TJS. There are only a handful of notable cases where PRP successfully negated the need for TJS. 

Obviously that isn't exactly scientific, but I have followed general baseball news for many years and have read "pitcher X tried PRP but will now going to undergo surgery because it didn't work" more times than I have read "pitcher X tried PRP and he's totally fine now," and it's not even remotely close.

Yeah this just doesn't justify your statement that (and I'm paraphrasing) "we absolutely know TJS is where this is going", in my opinion.

None of us know the details of the sprain, or the actual success rate of PRP technology in 2024. This study was circulated on twitter this morning and it shows reasonably high odds for success for low-grade sprains:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33796592/

I have no idea how credible it is. But given Elias' comments that they're pursuing this approach with some level of optimism, I'm just not ready to say TJS is absolutely where this is going.

Oh well.  

An arm only has so many bullets in it before it needs TJ.  If he had it in January, it was gonna happen in camp.  They all break, it's just a matter of time.

 

What are you possibly talking about? All pitchers arms break? Tommy John surgery is relatively new. Plenty of pitchers arm end up not breaking.

Have to agree here. Our leverage sucks and Elias isn't going to suddenly sell the farm for Cease like Getz wants him to.

True, McDermott could sneak into the bullpen. I'd still say Tate and Baker are probably ahead of him to start the year. 

Roch did say Means "might not" make opening day. He still could, maybe as an opener until he gets stretched out. Assuming all goes well and there's nothing else they're hiding from us.

I figured Bradish would be more vulnerable to shoulder issues at some point. I’m not panicked at all, but between these two injuries we should find another starter. I like Wells more than most however. I wouldn’t mind seeing Mateo dealt for a reliever as well.

Took the words out of my mouth. If we haven’t gotten Cease yet, we sure as hell aren’t now. 
 

Add Montgomery to that list now. I’d probably offer him 6 years. Yes it sounds stupid but that is just how contracts are now.

We haven't had to deal with pitching tears/injuries in a long time.  Give it a week and we'll all be orthopedic surgeons in our own minds.  

My question would be... with a partial tear, how much does it have to be torn to necessitate a full surgery?  I guess we'll find out.

There’s no need to panic and be irrational. Kjersted and Cowser are not being traded. Irvin, Wells, Kremer can handle the workload.

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      By G54377 · Posted

      I think Mayo's future position is directly related with what we do with Ryan Mountcastle. We got Mounty for 2 more years, if we decide to keep him. Does the timeline work out that the Adley/Basallo catcher split allows the guy not caching to DH or 1B, and Mayo takes the third (1B/DH) spot?

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      I think that’s a fair question but the follow up question would be do you think that would warrant bringing in a new GM?

      Hold up a second. If Elias comes out of this years trade deadline with the 2024 versions of Flaherty and Fuji and they wash out in the playoffs you don't think it's time to question his ability to close things out?

      I think some fans are just inherently negative.   We follow the team so closely that we know the weaknesses of every player.   And every player, no matter how good, has weaknesses. Because a good starter is capable of being dominant in a given start, anything less can be a disappointment.   As an exercise, find a game where an Oriole starter pitched a good but not spectacular game, say 5.2 innings, 2 runs allowed, 5 hits, 2 walks.   Nothing wrong with that.   Not a dominant outing but in 2024 it's considered pretty good.  Now go to the game thread for that game and read how many comments there are about that pitcher, and count how many are positive and how many are negative.   I think you'll find the negatives VASTLY outweigh the positives.  I mean probably a ratio of about 10 to 1.  There will be comments about how he "doesn't have it tonight" after he walks a batter or falls behind a few batters in a row.    There will be comments about how he is about to implode.   If he throws a fat pitch down the middle that is hit for extra bases that will be pounced on.   If it is Irvin or Kremer there will be comments about how we need to get someone better and we don't want this guy pitching in a playoff game.   If it is Means or Bradish there will be questioning their health.   If it is G-Rod there will be comments that he has to be better than this.   Meanwhile, there will be a very small number of positiive comments.   Yet the end results (5.2/2 runs) is probably better than average.   That's just human nature.   Focusing on the negative is more interesting to many than focusing on the positive.

      Great find Tony. BB% has dropped from 5.2 last year to 0.7. That could be a game changer if it sticks.

      Some of the root cause is both Ryan's flirting with All-Star form, but I agree entering the 2nd quarter of the year, something I now think will happen that I wouldn't have guessed is that one of Coby Mayo or Jackson Holliday will end up with 129 or fewer at-bats this season. Trade deadline will be exciting not just for Elias hopefully continuing the Corbin Burnes pattern of buying quality, but because it isn't inconceivable something like the Theo Epstein sending Nomar Garciaparra away move is in the range of outcomes. It is Adley year 3 of 6, and the decision might be to give 2/9ths of the tournament plate appearances to not Mayo/Holliday.

      Well, I definitely was spoiled for a couple decades in my youth (70’s-80’s). The O’s were always as good or better. It was glorious never being afraid of being in the AL East. Then a new reality set in. That 14-year losing streak was way more humble pie than I anticipated. Now I don’t feel spoiled at all. I’m grateful I’ve lived long enough to see my Birds feared again. In essence, I agree with your original post.  Concern by some fans is always good, but it seems early to be throwing bricks at the TV (or computer screen) based on how well the O’s are doing overall.
