Great to see McDermott throw strikes tonight and pitch six innings - complete game with rain. I think it's good for both McDermott and Povich to pitch all of August at Norfolk and close strong and maybe compete in spring training.

McDermott’s stuff is pretty nasty.  I’m really curious to see how/if it translates to MLB. My observations from last night and in general are: 1. He takes a long time to get going.  Walked the le

The way it's been going lately a team is going to having an A ball pitcher throwing out of the pen.  The O's started the year w/ what they thought were 9 starters who could pitch in the majors, they a

I would really like this team to shut him down for a couple weeks and shorten him up. He has 2 pitches that can be plus and could be a massive bullpen addition to 2024 roster. Pappelbon started 18 games in 2005 minor leagues before pitching 4 scoreless innings in ALDS.

With the two RP deadline additions, I think it’s far less likely we see McDermott in the pen for the playoffs. They have a pretty deep group of 8 guys right now, plus Coulombe maybe coming back, and the 5th starter (Kremer or Rogers TBD) available to shift to the pen. 

I think the hope is that Coulombe will be back sometime in September with the expanded roster, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see McDermott make some starts as a 6th starter to give the rotation extra rest before the playoffs. 

I don’t think they’re going to mess with McDermott’s development and risk injury by having him pitch a full SP season and then go to max effort short stints in relief, continuing pitching into October. He only threw 119 IP last year for his most IP in a single season. If all the SP ahead of him on the depth chart are healthy, I think they’re going to hit the SP workload they want for McDermott’s development (140-150 IP?) and then shut him down.

Not good.  Notable MLB pitchers who dealt with scapula stress reactions include Sale, DeGrom, Wacha and each missed considerable amount of time.

Really need a strikeout guy in the bullpen instead of Soto who we thought was one.

I'm guessing best case he's ready for spring training or it might delay his start of next year?

Argh, that’s horrible news for him. Definitely a season ended. Had a hell of a year. Was really looking forward to him getting some reps in the bullpen this year.

Terrible news. Hopefully no surgery is needed. He had about as good as a AAA season as we could’ve asked for. It was all about finding a role on the MLB club.

Terrible timing for this injury too. If Grayson is down for a while I think McDermott could have gotten a shot over Suarez.

Also ended up using one of McDermott’s option years for him to pitch 4 IP at the MLB level. With the likelihood that he’s going to be AAA SP pitching depth / a RP, that’s not nothing to lose an option year.

Tough break for the him and the Orioles. I don't know much about this injury but have to imagine that he's done for the year. 

This is what AI said about Scapula Stress reaction. 

A scapular stress reaction is a rare repetitive motion injury to the shoulder blade, or scapula, that can cause bone marrow edema and a noticeable decrease in velocity. Symptoms include:
  • Shoulder pain
  • Stiffness
  • Reduced range of motion, especially when lifting your arm over your head
  • Weakness
  • Grinding or snapping sounds when moving your shoulder
  • Winging of the scapula
  • Drooped or forward tilted posture on the affected side 
     
     
The only immediate treatment is to rest and allow the bone time to heal. If left untreated, it could lead to a stress fracture.

      Anthony Santander (age 27-29): .245 / .317 / .477 / .794    124 OPS+   9.0 WAR Mark Trumbo (age 27-29): .244 / .299 / .443 / .742   105 OPS+  2.6 WAR Is it really very meaningful that Trumbo was the better player when they were significantly younger? 29-year-old Santander is a better player by miles than Trumbo at the same age, and he has been for years. I think that’s what matters most to how you’d project them over the next few years.

      I love Tony and I honestly think we are gonna miss his veteran leadership as much as anything. I’m very happy we have him for this year. But I do think he’d be a bad long term investment.

      He’s the best player in history. No one can convince me otherwise.  I didn’t say he has the most records or the most counting stats or the most MVPs. That’s not what I said.  He’s just the best player in baseball history.

      Trumbo was a DH impersonating a fielder, Santander is just a very poor fielder. It's not a perfect comp (is there really even such a thing?) but he is an absolutely relevant comp for this team in this situation. He is the poster child for why taking the draft pick and moving on is the right choice. And Santander is still a bad fielder, just not quite Trumbo-tier.

      To this end I feel like we always had a pretty short leash with him. From the first three starts as an oriole to the yo-yo-ing this year. I would have preferred we just left him in the #5 starter role and see what happened. And maybe he’ll get that opportunity elsewhere like you said, whereas here it always seemed like his role was changing.

      Santander to Trumbo isn't as good a comparison as you think. Their raw stats are fairly similar but Trumbo played in a much more offensive era.  Santander is a much better athlete, defender and consistent player than Trumbo was.

      I'd rather he not brazenly cheat like Cruz did lol. Also, Cruz hit for average and got on base (.277 career AVG, .343 career OBP), which are definitely not tools in Santander's toolbox (.246 career AVG, .307 career OBP).
