I've never heard of a position player being injured.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen.

We just imagined Kjerstad missing two seasons.

I think we all know that he means the injury risk is just much greater with a pitcher, especially one drafted out of HS.

This is a dumb post even for you.

If you pull the same stuff on him he goes berserk.   lol

Oh please, I've never "gone berserk" on a message board.

You might be confusing me with the guy that had to sign up for the board a second time under a new name because he got banned.

Ha!   You get offended in a very dramatic way and accuse people of twisting your words.  You know, basically what you just did to Dystopia.

Your point is okay, but Kjerstad is a bad example.  He was sick, not injured, except for a hiccup that cost him about 2 months of 2022.   And it’s certainly true that we see injuries that take pitchers out of action for a full year or more way more often than we see it for hitters.

      Wild card series roll call

      By Spakman · Posted

      I doubt that.  Looks like tickets are going below face value unless you’re a birdland member.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      Article from when we signed him last November said he was out of options. Wonder if povich makes the playoff roster or someone like him makes sense to option down.    im a bit surprised he didn’t get called up sooner too other than the lack of options to send him back down after. But if we were going to just call him up for one bulk relief outing then release him, we could’ve done it for more meaningful games.    he is only just reaching arbitration, so he’d have to stick on the roster next year unless they can pass him through waivers anyway, but you’d at least like to give him a spring training opportunity to make the bullpen.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By cnmilton · Posted

      If Cowser does not receive the Rookie of the year, the Orioles will not pick up any draft pick if he finishes 2nd or 3rd. The owners and players did not institute an international draft, which is where the international draft picks would have come into play for 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the Rookie of the Year.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers

      By Beysbol · Posted

      Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️

      With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.
