How many times can you say the same thing over and over?

”I am an accomplished athlete. I have a great life. I have a keen eye as a talent evaluator. And I don’t like Jackson Holliday.”

We get it and we’ve heard it many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times already.

Ps - I would rather you bash post Holliday all day then that stuff you were posting yesterday.

How many 20 year old infielders have you heard of that had to be shut down because of elbow soreness?

 

It is pretty much unheard of.

What were your teenage years like? How are your kids doing these days, what fields are they masters of? Of your jobs which has been your favorite? Are you a Friends or a Seinfeld guy? How long is your list of lays? Tell us more, I'm anxious to know more about OnlyOneOriole and his adventures and Dos Equis commercial-worthy life. 

Dude drank Zima's with Kato Kaelin... is there anything else we really need to know?  🤣

Is Basallo one of those NONE Pitchers?   🤣

I said it when CoC made that post.  A catcher has to throw more times than any pitcher.  So yeah, it can wear on you.  Obviously he is not going to throw with anywhere near the velocity as a pitcher but the simple repetition can be harmful. 

 

There is a reason why catchers are usually played by kids with low athletic ability from little league on up.  Because it is a very demanding position physically.  Why waste your best athletes on a position where they get worn out every day?

Zach Neto is all of 23 and had an issue with inflammation least month.

My guess is Elias is being overly protective since he doesn't want to bring him up right now anyway.

Of course there are exceptions to anything.

I am talking the law of averages.   For an infielder to get elbow inflammation as a 20 year old is highly unusual.

Can't edit.  As a supplement company owner based on high levels of Vit C, lysine, proline, and zinc...I concur. 

Alcohol in and of itself is not THAT bad for you.  Especially clear alcohol.  It isn't great, but is it not terrible.  There is a reason why many countries/cultures who have a tradition of drinking live very long lives on average.

The issues that causes the most problems health wise are the darkness of the alcohol along with the sugar content mixed with it.

How many [insert your age] have you heard of that obsess over the short comings of a 20 year old and yet are willing to die on the wall defending someone like Trevor Bauer?

Here's some guys claiming to be "Doctors" and "Scientist" who studied it using data from Major League Baseball's Health Injury Tracking System.  They found that from 2011 - 2014 there were 3,185 elbow injuries - 435 of which occurred in Major League players and 2755 in minor league players.  Of those those, 1,911 were non-pitcher position players.  But yeah, like you said.  It's pretty much unheard of - with the exception of those 1,911 players.  https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0363546517706964

It's a message board.  People express their opinions.

You honestly think that means dying on the wall for someone?

You need to get out more.

Do you have any idea how many players there were during that time from the minors and majors?  1000s and 1000s.  And how many were catchers?

Your comparison is inconsequential mathematically.

And I don't give a flying **** about any of those non pitchers or catchers.  What I do care about is the face he was #1 and #1.   Who now is 20 years old, has an elbow injury, could barely throw to first base when he was with the Os, and looked like a HS kid playing against major league players when at bat. 

He has already lost a lot of value trade wise.  All I am saying is if the Os don't think he will every be anything special, which as the 1 and 1 you should be?

You trade him.

    • I think he was talking about Ryan Mountcastle but I can understand the pivot.  It’s like the Elvin Hayes turn around bank shot.  It’s always there when you need it.  😀
    • Suarez minor league deal. Cole Sulser. Cesar Valdez. Jorge Lopez. There's a ton, even if some only work out for one year or so.  I think what happens is people look at this year and the lack of waiver/small trade/minor league deal success stories, which is true. Elias hasn't found that guy on waivers or trades this year... yet. 
    • If Urias and/or Mateo are released or traded, then Norby becomes important depth at both 2B and as a right-handed bat on a team with mostly lefty hitters. Norby is certainly a candidate to be traded himself, but I value him significantly more than any of Urias, Mateo, AND Hays, and Elias should as well. Other major league teams would certainly offer more in a trade for Norby than they would for Hays (and certainly also Mateo and Urias). So we should value him similarly. If there are no takers for Norby on the trade market, he has good value to the Orioles' major league roster later this season. Once Mayo is promoted, Norby's ability to play both corner OF spots and 2B with a quality righty bat actually makes him more valuable to this team than any of Mateo, Urias, McKenna, or Hays coming off the bench previously.  An eventual bench of Norby, Mullins as the 4th OF, and Billy Cook would be very strong and versatile. That's the bench of a team with the best offense in baseball, and one that can win a World Series even without a great pitching staff.
    • Norby plays a valuable role in serving as a liaison and tour guide for the greater Norfolk area when players get promoted to the Tides.
    • Oh, and I don't disagree with that (the pitch clock is one of my favorite rule changes for hitters and pitchers alike), but the idea that putting a runner at second to shorten the game is what I don't like. Was an extra inning game something that happened often enough to extend the overall average time of play? Maybe, but I don't like that rule. Yes, the 5-4 game in 2:15 is preferable for sure, but burning through bullpens and calling up players from the minors is also part of team management and the inner workings of the game which I enjoy. Who's really a good in game manager and also works with the GM to manage the 40 man? Maybe that part of it is lost on many, but the runner at 2B is one of my least favorite changes despite your bedtime preferences! And while I also like the pitch clock, limiting the pitcher to two throws (disengagements) is ridiculous.  
    • Back to the OP, I don't find much to quibble about re: the grades at all. I might lean towards that B or even B- for Cowser rather than the B+, but it's splitting hairs. He's been able to avoid an absolute bottoming-out pretty much any time he gets close, so he's staying just productive enough for a rookie. It feels like he's stepped it up since Kjerstad came up, and no I'm not drawing any silly conclusions there. Just a coincidence. But it's incredible if they can both be productive on the same roster.
