Rodriguez's changeup was literally a Bugs Bunny Change up. I got an amazing 44% zcontact (Contact when batter swings at a ball in the strike zone) on the changeup.  Aaron Hicks had some of

Keep your eyes on the road! 1.  Hyde didn’t come out, French did. 2. Rodriguez wasn’t at 100 pitches, he was at 97. 3.  The bullpen had only started warming the previous batter, and was

I’m just hoping that Grayson, having had a previous lat injury, caught this one a little more quickly and can recover faster than he did in 2022.   But that’s probably wishful thinking.  

Still, better this than an elbow or a shoulder.   The worst this injury can do is screw up the rest of 2024.   

I absolutely don’t see us winning the division if Grayson is out for the rest of the year.  That’s one body blow too many.   

 

Was a Grade 2 strain last time (2022), came out of game, was throwing max effort. Came back in 3 months, but way off walking 14 in 19 innings, 4+ ERA. Was only throwing long ball in OF this time, so maybe its just a Grade 1 strain. Almost 2 months til Playoffs so maybe by then. Hoping for the best.

The real issue is if he's out until the playoffs can we even make it there with:

Burnes

Eflin

Kremer

Rogers

Suarez/Povich

Fair Should not assume playoffs, but they could make it with those, would need big help from the offense.

This sucks really bad. 

We’re still going to make the playoffs. Eflin is a legit #2 or #3. Kremer is a bulldog and has been here before. Kremer has good stuff. Suarez had a heck of a start tonight. Rogers had one bad start, but he will be ok, just not sexy. 

Take a breath. Suarez has been in the rotation all year and we’ve had one of the best records in the AL with that. 

The offense has to step up.

His last lat issue was a three and a half month issue. He's not coming back this season.

probably not, but last time 3 months exactly, not that would do us any good. And last time was a grade 2 sprain, this one could be milder. Also in 2022, when he did come back was no the same, walked 14 in 19 innings 4+ ERA so maybe we dont even want him back.

The team has to carry on somehow . Go for broke and see where the chips land .  Very few teams , if any, can absorb this many injuries .  

The Dodgers are although we will see for the playoffs.

Last year we had a playoff rotation of Bradish/rookie GrayRod/Kremer. It’s probably better this year even without him. 
 

Still hoping he can make it back for the playoffs, but we cruised going in last year with a comparable rotation so definitely still hoping we can keep it together.

Grayson has always felt like a ticking time bomb considering the rate of injury nowadays for SPs that regularly throw 97+ mph. He’s been remarkably healthy in his career to date considering that risk.

Lat injury is still better than shoulder/elbow/forearm, although it is concerning it’s a recurring injury now and could indicate some more chronic physical/mechanical issue. And for this season, if it’s the same severity as last time it makes no difference, he’s out for the year.

This is a big blow to the odds of winning the division and, by extension, huge hit to the World Series odds (both by higher chance of needing to play the wildcard round and by potentially not having Grayson in the playoffs).

They still have a 5 game lead on the Red Sox for the final wildcard spot, and a much better team.  A lot more would still need to go wrong for that to be in jeopardy. The offense should still be enough to carry them for the regular season - it’s just looking increasingly likely they’ll need to do that in the playoffs too if they are going to make a run.

Now seems like a good moment if a Club wanting to find someone else to pay a bad, expensive contract on a waiver claim would see if Elias might bite.     Hector Neris was the top profiled individual in the ESPN story I saw recalling Giolito, etc. last year.

We have actually made it a decent number of days into August without any of it, which big picture I think is healthy for the game.

The short window Bradish looked good, I wondered if bullpen Grayson might be a scenario that could be considered.    Obviously today everything is a blank slate.

I admit I did just see what Patrick Corbin is drawing - the Lerners pushed $35M+ of it to this final year of the 6-year term, so that is a very poison pill even for 7 weeks.

      Well, I guess I need to get to the stadium by 11 AM today to watch Urias and Westburg here in Nashville! The stadium is 50 feet from my office window.

      No, It is my understanding that he is now a FA. Any team that picks him up is on the hook for prorated minimum this year only. The O's owe him the buy out.

      Burnes starting won’t help anyone hit. And I have minimal expectations for Westburg in his very first game back.    We just gave up 15 runs to a pretty damn pedestrian SF lineup last two games. I don’t think a ‘hangover lineup’ is going to help as much as you think. Plus again, if we can’t score it doesn’t matter much what the opposing lineup looks like.    I did just realize we have 10 games left, not 11. 3-7 seems even less likely than 3-8, ha.

      Game 1 Corbin Burnes, and Sunday Jordan Westburg and a bullpen game before an off day? We'll see in 10 days, but I think the Tigers run of good play at the end will have helped protect OPACY home field for the ALWC round. Very happy flight for the Tigers, and I'd guess they are asleep at their Baltimore hotel by now, waiting for tomorrow night.    Tigers home next week with two Skubal starts if necessary and a White Sox series, so the Royals and Twins are probably cheering pretty hard for us. If we finish this week 0-4, the Yankees might have that hangover lineup the day after division clinching one of our games there.    It looks pretty likely while we are in New York, the guys will have a front row seat handing over the AL East champion honor.

      They still need to win a few games to get there. I still don’t understand why people are acting like that is so certain (quoting you but not referring to you, per se).    3-8 in the last 11. 11 games left. In all seriousness, what makes anyone think we can even go 3-8 in the next 11?  We are bad in every single phase of the game and we’re playing against teams who have everything to play for (other than SF today, and they’ve pretty easily handled us this week already).    These last two games against SF, especially last night, have convinced me they’re going to fully blow this. We’ve already shown that Detroit can handle us. Probably going to lose to Webb today. Then it’s NY in NY. When is the last time we beat the Yanks in a late season series that mattered to both teams?  Ever? This team certainly isn’t the one to do it. And then it’s do or die in MIN. Anybody believe we can take 2/3 there?  I just don’t see a path to more than three wins, and even getting three doesn’t seem remotely certain. I think we’ll be lucky to win one game each of these last three series. Maybe that’s enough, but I’m far from sure they can even do that.    What’s the counterpoint to this?  Injury returns?  Too late for that IMO. Just start playing better?  What would make anyone believe that’s going to happen after 3.5 months of bad baseball? For real, someone tell me what they’re seeing that makes them think even 3-8 is going to happen in the next 11.

      We traded far too much for what we got in return IMO. You can't totally judge trades this early but as it stands now, Elias gets a well deserved D for his trade deadline performance. I've said this before. He's done a fantastic job bringing this club back to relevancy. I just question some of his roster construction and trade decisions.

      Since July 1st, the Orioles are 31-37 and since the Trading deadline when Elias was supposed to make the team better they've gone 19-24 (.441). Now grant it the team lost Westburg and Grayson as well as Eflin for a little bit, but what can't be swept under the rug is that Elias traded a decent part of his minor league league prospects and the team has done worse. The acquisitions of Rogers, Jimenez and Soto have not improved the team. Eflin has kept them from being even worse and we have him for next year, and the same goes for Dominguez. Hopefully Soto will figure it out or Elias wasted two pitching prospects (Chace being probably being the one with the most upside of any pitcher traded).
