Coloumbe time table to Return

I’ll choose to trust the surgeons that actually performed the procedure and reported to Elias and Co over an ‘injury expert’ who has zero knowledge of Coulombe’e actual elbow and surgery. But hey I hope they’re right.

At this point, the fact he's supposed to be back in time for at least a few weeks in the regular season to get right and then be ready in time for October is a win. I assume the Orioles make the postseason even with all the pitching injuries. It's just how the team will fair in the postseason that's the concern.

Agreed. I guess they are trying to suggest it might be worse than just bone chips. But, the Orioles/Elias have been pretty forth coming on the timetables to return. I'm just hoping to have a healthy Coulombe by September and into October.

I’m tempted to say that it’s irresponsible for this guy to even speculate on this type of stuff, but he probably has some large following on X or whatever that he has to satiate. Regardless, Elias seemed relatively confident about a regular season return for Danny, which is all that really matters as you’ve indicated. Him getting back on 8/15 instead of 9/15 won’t have a huge impact in all likelihood

A potential issue with his return could be tied to the end of the MILB season.  I’m much more confident in Coulombe returning with some reps against AA or AAA competition, than I am with him rehabbing at the complex after the season is over with the handful of injury rehabs that are also there.  Same goes for Felix Bautista if he gets ramped up with enough time.

Will Carroll knows his stuff. He acknowledged that the Os have more info than him. He’s just saying that based off of evidence they have, the time table seems to be long.

    • Hopefully when he signs with someone else.  Until then it's a risk.
    • I don't even want my mind to go there. I don't think I can endure another cheap ownership and be a fan. For now I'm going to keep the faith that they won't be. It could be Elias being too conservative AGAIN then lack of commitment from ownership if they aren't very active in FA again 
    • I have to laugh how different baseball is from football. Here Elias is saying he is in the information gathering stage when FA has already started and then you have football where you had Rex Ryan at Bart Scott's front door at the stroke of midnight in the start of football FA years ago. Crazy how the 2 sports works. 
    • Pinto seems to be Eflin’s guy with McCann not coming back. For a team with budget constraints, is it really worth it pay McCann more than the league min?  I say no.  Also, it would be harder to get rid of McCann mid season in the clubhouse when we believe Basallo is ready. 
    • I find Elias's comments when asked about Coloumbe kind of troubling. Sounds like business as usual for the Orioles. Translation: don't expect much, we're cheapskates ... "I think any time you look at option decisions, you're looking at price point on a salary and you're looking at putting together a budget and a plan for the offseason that encompasses the entirety of your roster, and in particular the bullpen. And then, ultimately, it comes down to a fit and your talent evaluation, and the fit that you see going forward. We had hard decisions in both directions with these option decisions. Sometimes, you make a decision not to kick off your offseason with exercising an option, but you remain in position to stay in touch with a really good player, and Danny's somebody who has done a ton for us, been enormously successful the past couple of years and we really enjoyed having him, and he's somebody that we're going to want to continue talking to throughout the free agency, as long as that lasts. But I'm sure he's going to have a lot of good opportunities, and we'll see where it goes"
    • I would have  took Preston Smith for a 7th.  Damn like the Steelers really needed him. I'm just not feeling a SB at all. This defense just isn't going to get it done in a big game. Thanks DeCosta for taking another year off of Lamar"s chances. A 4th for Ojulari wouldn't had been a bad deal. 
    • Ok but I think many Orioles fans and the Orioles themselves would want the less years and not care so much about the  yearly salary especially with pitchers.
