Any word in Perez? It looked like he might've pulled or popped something in the 9th

I had left the bar/restaurant I was watching the game at when it happened so I didn't see what he grabbed. 

I hope it's not an oblique, but most pitchers that have to come out of a game typically are heading for the IL.

The Yankees just DFA'd Nick Ramirez for some reason even though he was pretty good last year and had a good spring training. He's kinda of like Perez in that he doesn't get a ton of strikeouts, but does get grounders. The only issue with Ramirez is he's a reverse split guy who gets righties out much better than lefties, so the Orioles may just bring up Vespi. 

I have to say though that Luis Gonzalez was pretty impressive at times this spring and in his first game with Norfolk. 

They got a lot of options to replace him if he goes on the IL. Hopefully it's not a long term thing though.

The way Perez looked this spring, some DL time and then an extended rehab stint in the minors wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.  He kind of needed a reset.  

He wasn't good last year in the spring either if I recall. His velocity looked fine in his five pitches before the injury.

I won't be surprised at all if we claim Nick Ramirez, but he'd have to make it to us unless NY wants to do a cash trade. Ramirez doesn't throw hard but he's definitely worth a claim.

Perez had his first rehab outing today: double, RBI single, pickoff, fly out, ground out.  Three of the batted balls were 95-97 mph, the exception being the 67 mph RBI single.  He threw 13 pitches (10 strikes): only one four seamer, at 95.9 mph, 5 sinkers averaging 94.8, 6 sliders and one curve.  Each pitch type yielded one ball in play, with the slider yielding the 67 mph RBI single.  Overall, he didn’t fool anyone but threw strikes and showed good velocity first time out.  Decent first outing.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
