Bradish had excellent stuff tonight in his rain-shortened outing in St. Louis.  5 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K’s.  He three 52 of 74 pitches for strikes.  It’s a shame the rain kept him from pitching deeper into the game.  

There were a few annoying moments: an 0-2 HBP and an 0-2 count that ended in a walk.  But overall, a very good outing.  
 

He wiggled out of back to back jams where guys doubled to make it 2nd and 3rd. He got out of it. Cedric couldn’t make a very tough catch in CF. 

Bradish looked like Bradish. Very encouraging. He was at 75 pitches, so I don’t know how much longer he was going to be out there anyways.

I think it's a common problem when translating a spoken interview into text/tweets. How often have we seen in writing that someone was upset about something (e.g. Matt Holliday regarding Jackson not b

What an outing!   7 innings of no-hit ball, 11 K’s.  You could tell he was tiring at the end, but he was determined to get through 7 IP.   Ace stuff today.

When he has both breaking balls working like he did last night he’s so much fun to watch.
 

Would anyone be surprised if he wins a CYA before his career is over?

Just needs a slight tick up with command. Now that he has the 2 seamer to go with the breaking balls, when he has command he is really tough.

I was not expecting him to be so good after the news broke that he had a UCL tear.  He’s been remarkable.  

Was it ever confirmed that he had a tear? I only ever saw that there was an injury but don’t recall seeing the word tear ever used. If so, I missed it.

My bad.  I meant to write 'sprain'.  I'll fix that.

A sprain can be a tear.  From the Cleveland Clinic:

There are three grades of UCL sprain injuries:

Grade 1: The ligament is stretched but not torn.

Grade 2: The ligament is stretched and might be partially torn.

Grade 3: The ligament is completely torn.

Sucks that the game was suspended last night because I think he could have gone another inning or two.

I would be.  I think he'll get some CYA votes along the way but outright winning it is something different altogether....it's not out of the realm of possibilities but he'll have to hit another gear.

Very true, but I think to @banks703 point they never specifically said 'tear'.  There was very likely some small tear, but it was never explicitly stated.

I don’t remember anymore.  It was clear that it wasn’t a complete tear.

right right but they never did indicate the level of injury (as far as I can recall) so I wonder if it was less of an issue with the UCL itself and more of the surrounding soft tissue or even the elbow. I realize ME said injury to ucl but I don't remember if they offered any more of an explanation than that. It certainly may have been a strain without evidence of a tear but I do find it interesting that was all that was offered on it. 

In '21 my big dog hyperextended my elbow, fracturing it. The fracture healed relatively quickly and without any pain. However, about six weeks after the injury, I experienced tightness and sensitivity in my hand and wrist. About two days after that I was unable to use my arm at all, not even to eat or drink. I elected to not have the TJ and tried to work through it but should have just had the surgery. It took a full year and closer to 18 months for me to feel normal again. Even today I still have forearm soreness.

All this to say that the medicine in pro sports is absurdly good. It's to the level that I think most casual fans don't understand (not suggesting that you don't understand it). I take really good care of myself and at 39 I am consistently mistaken for still being in my 20's (yes a little bit of brag but thank you to the buccal fat that I struggled with in my actual 20's). As healthy and active as I am and having been a ball player, I cannot fathom throwing a baseball with how my elbow felt for the better part of a year and a half. These athletes today and the medicine that keeps them on the field is something to truly marvel at and honestly, what KB is doing this year with any injury to his ucl is otherworldly. I know that there have been other guys who have avoided TJ but I just can't comprehend that given how my arm felt. Big kudos go out to KB for working through it and the medical staff for the work that they did with him/for him to make his 24 season a possibility. It's incredibly impressive.

The suspended game greatly helped the Cards.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Way to avoid the question.  If the O's were in rebuild mode and had Gray Rod in the exact position he is now, what kind of prospect package would you want?  Fans here are notorious for not wanting to give up any good prospects for other team's best players but then want the world for their own less than perfect players.  When Gausman was about to be traded here (way less an impressive pitcher than Gray Rod is now), posters here were convinced that the O's would get 3 top 100 prospects for him.  The O's got none

      McDermott has a WHIP of almost 1.5 and has walked 41 batters in 64 and 2/3 innings. I'm not sure how that plays at the Big League level or how anyone could have a lot of confidence that those numbers translate into the kind of shut down backend reliever that we need.

      I would be not surprised at all if McDermott deloads after the all star break and comes up to use as a reliever a la do hall the last few years. He’s basically tanner Scott without having to give up prospects to get.

      I don't want anything for Grayson. We are trying to win and add, not subtract from areas of strength. We can add a a 2/3ish starter for less than Holliday and Kjerstad. We have plenty of players/prospects that we can trade that other teams want. After all, we have the best farm system in the game. Just because the player(s) is/are not the #1 prospect in the sport, it doesn't make him/them spare parts.

      I'm surprised the O's haven't tried McDermott as a reliever yet.  Some posters have said the O's need 3 relievers.  There is no way the O's are trading for 3 relievers.  They might trade for 1, find one in the minors and claim one off the waiver wire.
