Exactly.  The dugout has a railing but a 3 foot opening with steps going down into the dugout.  He had his head up and eyes on the ball.  Just as he was about to catch it, right into the opening and stumbled down the steps.  No one from the other team there to brace him.  He emerged after a few minutes and looked a little shaken but fine and even finished the rest of the inning at 3B.

Did you ever hear the story of how Brooks impaled his arm on a hook hanging on a AAA dugout roof while chasing a foul ball?

Please let it be because he's being brought up...it also might explain the fact that the Orioles haven't YET set their pitching for the Mariners series...

Ran/fell into the other team's dugout.  Doesn't seem to be seriously hurt.  I assume just taken out as a precaution.  Check previous page of this thread.

That’s a shame.  But good to hear that Elias was there checking on him and our other AAA prospects.

I’d guess 4-8 weeks until he’s back.  Really hurts his chances of coming to the majors this year.

Best he gets now is the 2022 Gunnar treatment.

    • Is that true? I don't think that it is. I think baseball and other sports are similar in this respect. I picked a random NHL player... literally the first one I stumbled on, Luc Robitalle. He played 19 years in the NHL. Had a peak goal scoring season of 63, and also had seasons of 23, 15, 11, 30. Heung-min Son is a poplar Premier League soccer player, a forward, for Tottenham Hotspur. In his nine years with the club he's scored totals including 4, 14, 12, 11, 23, and 10 goals. Wayne Rooney was a regular starter in the Premier League from 2002-2018 and had goals scored totals anywhere from six to 27, including consecutive years in his prime of 27, 11, 11, 26. In the space of eight years Wilt Chamberlain had season average scoring marks of anywhere from 24 to 50 points per game. In 1981 John Riggins played in 15 NFL games, rushed 194 times for 714 yards and 13 TDs. In 1983 he played in 15 games and rushed 375 times for 1347 yards and 24 touchdowns.
    • It's all good... and good reply. 
    • Mejdal was interviewed during the TV broadcast... maybe two weeks ago. He repeated his preference right at the end of the interview (IIRC, from the stands or field). 
    • I think we need to be careful about conflating BABIP and luck.  All batted balls are not created equal.  Not even all balls with the same EV and launch angle are equal.   
    • You said it works out less often. I agree that is what the historical data said in a study many years ago. It is a reason to be cautious. I would add that Gunnar is an exception as well. There are a long list of 17 year talents who do not develop. For me, it has more to do with which team drafts them, than age at graduation. Things are changing, I think. I read an article some months ago about development and it talked about the age factors of high school kids. It was in depth about age, confidence, physical maturation and all that. It talked about high level travel ball, year round development and training, and how modern data have helped evaluate the players. I believe it was the opinion of the author, so I suppose it is anecdotal.  Many talented kids are 19 at graduation, and Florida and Texas have it quite often. When they go to college, they become draft eligible sophomores. There are many examples of players in that demographic finding success. I have no idea where that article was, sorry. I read a lot about these kinds of things from many sources as a former youth coach and the parent of a 13 year old pitcher/player. I am sure someone will ask for a link. Take it for what it is. Not trying to be argumentative, or contrary. Just adding to the discussion, Greg. 
    • I’ll give it a think and see if I can convince Sig. 😉
    • You’re learning.   Just say really negative stuff about the guys who aren’t doing well.
