Mike Elias on Tyler Wells, John Means' injuries

[@BIU2330]

WOW...damn...that hurts big time

[@coltigh4232]

Elias saying all the right things, but you won't see Means throw another pitch in an Orioles uniform.

[@vaughnjb]

True. Free agent at the end of the year and why would they sign him when you can't count on him.

[@DylanVolksVictim]

Idk they'll probably bring him back, he still has talent and if nothing else he's proven he can bounce back from Tommy John though the days of being penciled in as a starter to begin a season is over. He could be an invaluable BP arm.

[@vaughnjb]

@DylanVolksVictim if they do he will only be getting a 1 year deal and probably at the minimum.

[@CAO-NH-VA-TX]

Really stinks for Means, would have been great for him to be on a winning team. Since he was on a one year deal I doubt the Os will sign him again. Need to lock up Burnes, spend the money, could be in the hunt for a WS for 3-5 years with this group

[@DylanVolksVictim]

Unfortunately Burnes is a Boris client. I'm not optimistic

[@johnmilander3162]

@@DylanVolksVictimand how did Boras clients do this past off season. Lol

[@DylanVolksVictim]

@johnmilander3162 most of those people were overrated tbf. Unless Burnes gets injured he'll be highly coveted, and we still have no idea what our ownership plans to do

[@anothertater]

Sad 😢

[@zcorpalpha2462]

Lot of injuries on multiple teams Makes one wonder if players are being pushed beyond their limits ❓🔥

[@capncmbk]

I like the tough question about Hays, Mullins, and Santander.

Business side of MLB though fascinating, also is exhausting

[@attentive11]

I don’t remember all these pitchers injuries back in the day, like before 2010. What’s changed?

[@georgehakimian5949]

I have the same question

[@ryanstevens11]

Guys are coming up through systems trying to throw every single pitch as hard as they can no matter the pitch type and bodies already aren’t meant to be throwing baseballs anyway

[@rugbyslug]

data - spin rates, movement, mph, are used to make most decisions now. before if you got guys out, you were a good pitcher.

[@CosmosArchipelago]

Young men are pushing the bounds of their body. It's that simple..

[@GDavis49]

Velocity and pitch selection are the primary causes

[@frontier6937]

unbelievable when starters only go 6 innings. these injuries were rare back in the day and pitchers went 9 innings. It's about deliver - 90% of pitchers today have the wrong mechanics.

[@CamKrazy2000]

Just when you thought you had enough pitching, you don't. Just goes to show that you should NEVER say you have enough pitching.

[@zachhuffaker5656]

As an orioles fan I never heard us say we have enough pitchers lmfao

[@CamKrazy2000]

@@zachhuffaker5656 I'm referring to all the talk about 6-man rotation as if they have too many good starters.

[@zcorpalpha2462]

I have a question 🙋‍♂️ ❓ Jackson Holiday return ❓🤷‍♂️

[@leaveadislike8470]

he’s heating up but i assume he’s still figuring out his new swing 🤷🏼‍♂️ so no time soon

[@edcecil3020]

Man you can tell that you guys have been bitten by the Angelos bug. New ownership now, don't pass judgment until we see what the new owner does with payroll

[@zcorpalpha2462]

MLB what have you done for me lately 😂 Team can win, but need to watch your players from Spring Training Media needs understand this

[@capncmbk]

I would LOVE to hear the question, "Kjerstad has a 1.100 OPS. What does the man have to do to be called up and to be played??" Our outfielders are terrible and he's letting Kjerstad rot in the minors.

[@leaveadislike8470]

please call up your pitching prospects before the month of june is over,they’re probably bored out of their minds in AAA

[@Kingjpdaboss]

Dang this is crap
