Thoracic outlet, yes. Shoulder in general? Disagree, as that could be a lot of things, including fatigue. 

Every elbow issue doesn't mean TJ.

I prefer the range of outcomes that come from Elbow over Shoulder.

I think in the current game shoulders are more likely to be career enders.

But I might be wrong, I haven't researched it.

It feels statistically impossible to have this many high impactpitchers go down within a few months. Geez man. 

It's baseball. Every pitcher is one pitch away from 18 months on the IL.

Look at the vote-getters in the 2022 AL Cy Young:

Verlander: just 57 innings this year
Cease: 11-8, 119 ERA+ in 136 innings
Manoah: 24 innings in '24, after totally melting down in '23
Ohtani: Limited to DHing after injury
F. Valdez: 116 innings to a 3.56
McClanahan: On 60-day IL, hasn't pitched in '24
Bieber: 12 innings this year
Cortes: 5-9, 4.16 in 129 innings
Cole: 40 innings of a 5.09
Gausman: 9-8, 4.56

0% (0 out of 10) are legit candidates for the '24 Cy Young, unless Cease or Valdez has an epic stretch run.

If you want a system to pick out which pitchers aren't going to be good/healthy in a year or two, just make a list of the top pitchers and you'll do pretty well.

Just now, OrioleintheATL said:

he looked like he was about to puke.  I'm going with stomach bug and he shit his pants as soon as the video cut off.  Heard it here first.

Maybe he’ll pull a Lamar and be back in the 6th inning after he has the Browns

Also my amateur medical opinion. Lots of bugs going around right now.

Yeah but they don’t all play for one team. Grayson down would be 4/5 of our rotation out for the year within 2-3 months.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
