I’m reading the other comments now, and it’s wonderful how many comments have referenced the “don’t throw it at all” call. Now, to illustrate the difference between Thorne and the modern bunch, try and imagine Newman(shudder) or Brown calling that same play. -

"I wouldn't say a word if injuries were getting better in this philosophy of analytics towards pitching, but they're getting worse. That's why they don't talk about it . We've screamed at the mountaintop for years about these players careers getting shortened and they don't frankly care.. because they're just going to get another Paul Skenes in their mind. That's what they think. The next man up. It is possible we're brainwashed to think 100 pitches and a guy breaks. Everything we're doing is opposite of successful long term careers. We limit, we baby, we don't let them do the things they're naturally gifted to do. We've turned them into robots, and we've asked them to just go as “fast and as hard as you can.” There is nothing wrong with pitching at 97 miles an hour if you have the capacity to grow it 101. There's nothing wrong with having a 3.4 era if it gives you 230 innings. You know it's impossible to have a bad year and pitch 220 innings. It's statistically impossible. But yet we're asking guys to go 180(innings) And we're going to compartmentalize the rest of those innings through other guys. So, the answer is we have to prepare these guys differently and ask them to do things that are more long term than short term. But until we do that, we're going to have the same type of thinking of “ when is his Tommy John coming?” You're going to find an outlier out of every 50 pitchers, but you're not going to find 10. And I think that's the problem in our game." -
Well said. Some similarities between Crochet and Grayson too. -

I would give Westburg and Gunnar a day off here or there, so they stay fresher . Of course, base of pitching matchups . We have three full months of regular season left also -

I’ve got next Tuesday pencilled in for his debut, so I passed on the futures game. I just need to move Urias for a reliever first. Oh wait, I’m still not GM! 😁 But seriously, what kind of RP do you think we can get for Urias? Something’s gotta give to make room for Mayo. -
And Culpepper. 32. Orioles — Kaelen Culpepper, SS, Kansas State “I’ve continued to hear the Orioles like Culpepper, so he remains the pick in this latest mock.” I could definitely be on board with those picks.
