Playing what safe? Flying on an airplane. He had already played several games at AAA. Not sure what purpose waiting a day would serve?

 

Day game after a night game, rainy day. I don't know, I would've played him yesterday but also understand being extremely careful with your star player.

I guess but I didn't get the whole play him at AAA in the first place. If he was healthy enough to play there, to me, he could play for the big club. Don't care about "getting in some at bats." I'd rather have had him getting them with the O's. But water under the bridge. Get him in the lineup tonight and lets get on a W streak.

Gunnar is the man, but I think we've missed him less than epected, primarily because of how well Urias has hit in his absence.  Urias has started 6 of 7 games with a 949 OPS so far.  Mateo has started 3 games, once each in replacement of Urias, Westburg, and Holliday.

 

If Gunnar is here, he starts all 7, Westburg 6 (he missed a game to illness), and Holliday probably 6 as he'd sit against the LHP.  That would leave 2 starts for Urias and none for Mateo.  So a healthy Gunnar replaces 4 starts of Urias and 3 of Mateo.  He's a clear upgrade because of Mateo (who is a bad hitter in general and 0/9 this year), but Urias is a solid hitter in general and has raked at a Gunnar-esque clip so far this year to make up for more than half of Gunnar's absence.

 

Anyways, I'll be thrilled to get Gunnar back and think he solidifies the offense a lot.  But Urias has done a very admirable job filling in for him.

Bob, you know why Basallo was pulled tonight?

Why is Pham back in AA? Had a pretty solid full year last year and it's not like AAA is stacked with prospects.

Something to do with his hamstring.

He was seen walking around in the dugout throughout the rest of the game so hopefully pretty minor.

I hate hamstring issues. They are one of the toughest injuries to heal from and it seems once you have a hammy issue its something that will dog you forever.

Bradfield removed from the game today after hitting a triple with "hamstring discomfort." Limped off the field.

Good start for Pham today. 5.1 IP, 3H, 1ER, 1BB, 9K. He's 25 years old. Why is he still in AA after a full successful season in AA last year?

Log jam and age is just a number. Wouldn't be surprised if his next start was in AAA with Young coming up.

Norfolk doesnt seem to have anything close to an arm that could help other than Young.

Weston wasn't good today, but he's looked promising.

Kyle Brnovich, last remnant of the Dylan Bundy trade. Velocity up, new slider. Getting a lot of whiffs.

Fabian have substantial splits? Maybe he could replace Laureano. The better defender and more speed but can he hit enough to be a legit platoon guy
